Valorar, fomentar, difundir y discutir la producción documental realizada en escuelas, universidades y cursos abiertos en todo el mundo. Esta es la premisa de FIDÉ - Festival Internacional de Documentales de Estudiantes.
Todo empezó en Francia en 2008, con un grupo de estudiantes extranjeros de Máster en Cine en Paris 8, que se reunieron para proyectar documentales en una sábana blanca en un okupa de los suburbios de París. La movilización dio lugar a la asociación Les Impatientes, que organiza FIDÉ en Francia. Desde entonces, casi 250 documentales de más de 30 países han formado parte de la programación del festival.
En 2012, el evento se realizó por primera vez en Brasil, en la Cinemateca de Curitiba, donde ha tenido cinco ediciones (2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 y 2019), organizadas por Motim Comunicação e Arte.
El objetivo de FIDÉ no es ser una exposición competitiva centrada en premios, sino una muestra amplia y plural de obras singulares que exploran el potencial del cine documental a través de diferentes enfoques, narrativas y puntos de vista. FIDÉ tiene como propósito apoyar y hacer visible el trabajo de jóvenes documentalistas de todo el mundo, impulsando una mirada crítica y sensible tanto por parte de los realizadores como del público.

LIFE AFTER OIL International Film Festival is an environmental & human rights film festival
As we are preparing for the post-petroleum era?
This festival starts with the intention of overshooting the simple exposure. Although it is important to raise public awareness on the risks connected to the exploitation and to the use of natural resource in the production of fossil fuels, still remains, the enormous and dramatic problem of the disasters caused by the lack of energy, with particular reference to the water supply, highly relevant to the world population. The main objective of the festival will be, therefore, not only emphasizing problems related to the use of fossil fuels, but especially identifying the alternatives which take into account, according to the present scientific knowledge, the several well-known methods of production.
The FICAH MEXICO will be held annually and its main objectives are to promote and promote the production, completion and exhibition of independent cinematographic works.

HISTORY
Animation Nights New York was founded by Yvonne Grzenkowicz. On September 9, 2015, Little Water Radio invited us to use their old space at 207a Front St in the back of Fulton Stall Market for our premiere “NY Independents” screening. The program was curated by Yvonne Grzenkowicz (Animation Nights New York) and Robert Lyons (ASIFA East). We had about 45 attendees. We soon outgrew the space! (Thank you, Little Water Radio and Fulton Stall Market!)
Jan-April 2016 we were in residency with the Third Annual Out to See Festival at 192 Front St (Jan-Apr) in the South Street Seaport. We were the premiere event for this winter festival hosted by Little Water Radio and sponsored by the Howard Hughes Corporation. Animation Nights New York continued to grow.
In May 2016, Animation Nights New York relocated to the beautiful 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 with support from Anderson Contemporary, MHP, Clarion Partners, and Maiden Lane Hospitality. We could finally accommodate our growing regular attendance!
Animation Nights New York now holds screening events around NYC. Besides 180 Maiden Lane, we’ve held screening events at the One World Trade Observatory, the Arts Brookfield Terrace at Brookfield Place, and The Gutter Spare Room in Williamsburg Brooklyn. We’ve held workshops and VR pop-up events at The Capitale and The Hideaway Seaport.
We’ve had over 11000 films submitted from all around the world. The work is beautiful and inspiring and the events have fostered a sense of community and exchange.
We’ve had tremendous support from ASIFA, NYC ACM SIGGRAPH, NYWIFT, Women in Animation, and the animation community at large. Animation Nights New York programs have included work by award winning animators such as Bill Plympton, George Griffin, Joanna Quinn, John Dilworth, Signe Baumane, Michael Sullivan, Dustin Grella, AthanassiosVakalis and Tiny Inventions among others.
Animation Nights New York had our First Annual ANNY Best of Fest on September 29-30, 2016. Our panel judges selected 20 films from the 200 screened Sept 2015-July 2016. The ANNY Best of Fest featured Animation Screenings, VR Animation Experiences, Art Installations, Industry Events, Artist Booths, and Professional Panels at 180 Maiden Lane and venues around the Seaport District of NYC.
Our goal is to strengthen the animation community and ensure filmmakers are rewarded for their efforts. We are looking to partner with companies who are naturally aligned with our mission to promote the arts. A huge thanks to everyone who helped us get this started.
Keep supporting independent animation. We hope to see you at our next event!
The FIC AUTOR (Author's International Film Festival) is interested in unique and artistic films that exceed the limits of traditional storytelling. We look for Feature and Short Films that reflect the director's personal creative vision, and a style that is distinct enough to shine through the collective process.
We don't care if your films have recognized stars or unknown names; we are against the politics and bureaucracy that floods the film industry. We want to be recognized as an objective festival. We don't want to build our reputation based on how many superstars are in attendance; what we want is the truly best world cinema in our theaters!
FIC AUTOR will strive to be one of the most important cultural events in the city. We aspire to become an international spotlight for new directors!
-The 13 winning Authors will receive the WINNER LAUREL, plus FIC AUTOR trophy or rings and sponsor's prizes.
-WINNERS will be announced one month before the award ceremony, so all the nominated filmmakers can decide beforehand whether they want to travel to the festival.
-The award ceremony will take place in the CINEFORO, one of the biggest cinema theaters in the city with 440 seats, and is the most prestigious.
We are not like other bulls**t festivals, YOU DONT have to pay for your prize. IT'S A PRIZE, NOT A DEBT! And we don't give metal or glass trophies... Our trophies are 100% made from silver and semi-precious stones! As independent filmmakers we know the things we love and hate about film festivals, so we want to avoid all the negative things we have found the in past years, such as exorbitant, unnecessary fees, teenage judges and of course.. trophies you would rather hide in the closet.

МФКД «ДУХ ОГНЯ» задуман зимой 2002 года. В то же время автор замысла – кинорежиссер Сергей Соловьев обсудил идею фестиваля с Губернатором Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа – Югры Александром Васильевичем Филипенко, который и поддерживает фестиваль с самого момента его зарождения . Вскоре было принято постановление Правительства Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа о проведении IМФКД «Дух Огня» с 26 января по 2 февраля 2003 года , и в течение года шла его подготовка. Инициативная группа посетила ряд больших мировых международных фестивалей. Во время подготовки была четко сформирована идеология готовящегося фестиваля, которая включала в себя идею не только ежегодного общественного смотра практически всех дебютных работ , делающих в России, но и существование этих работ в контексте мирового дебютного кино, а так же идею наследования новым русским кино наиболее выдающихся традиции, оставленных нам великим мировым кинематографом второй половины 20 века и великолепным кино исчезнувшего Советского Союза. В это же время были сформированы руководящие органы фестиваля , в частности его бессменный Президентский совет .
Президентский совет Фестиваля :
Президент МФКД «Дух Огня» - Эмир Кустурица
Вице –Президент МФКД «Дух огня» - Мария Зверева
В состав Совета входили
Первый Президент МФКД «Дух Огня» - Сергей Соловьев
Вице –Президент МФКД «Дух Огня» - Александр Абдулов
По ежегодно обновляемому регламенту фестиваля в его структуре предусмотрены следующие официальные и неофициальные смотры:
Международный конкурс дебютных фильмов, в котором могут участвовать любые дебютные фильмы, независимо от их участия в других международных кинофестивалях в количестве 10-12 лент. Из них по регламенту не более, чем два кинофильма могут быть на русском языке. Конкурс оценивает международное жюри , состоящее из 5-ти крупных деятелей международного кинематографа. Предусмотрено присуждение четырех международных призов, обеспеченных денежным вознаграждением.
Ежегодно в разных залах города Ханты-Мансийска и всего Ханты-Мансийского округа –Югры( площадь =534.8 тысяч кв.км., превосходит территорию любого европейского государства, кроме Франции) во время фестиваля идут тематические ретроспективы показа. Из года в год работает программа «Кинематографические мифы народов Севера», «СССР- великое кино» и др. Наличие этих программ позволяет участникам фестиваля и зрителям системно знакомиться с шедеврами мирового кино . Каждый фестиваль посвящается уникальному кинематографическому мастеру ;уже прошли фестивали, посвященные Михаилу Калатозову, создателю великого фильма «Летят журавли» режиссеру Андрею Тарковскому … В рамках фестиваля ежегодно работает клуб детского и юношеского кино, где проводится ретроспективы детских фильмов. Во время фестиваля постоянно работает профессиональных клуб , который всегда обеспечивается уникальной культурной программой , включающей эксклюзивные выступления выдающихся исполнителей классической рок- и поп- музыки. В рамках фестиваля проводится ежегодные фотографические и изобразительные выставки.
Нужно отметить , что все без исключения фестивальные просмотры проходят при заполненных залах. Ханты-Мансийск – студенческий город, и молодежь этого города- самый главный фестивальный зритель и судья. Цифры, которые показывают кинопрокатные организации по окончании каждого фестиваля воистину удивительные. На первом МФКД «Дух Огня»только кинематографические программы при двух фестивальных залах посетило около 50 000 человек. На всех остальных фестивалях вместе с количеством фестивальных залов росло и количество фестивальных зрителей.
