We are a festival that emphatically promotes independent social cinema, that cinema that tells stories of people, places, conditions and situations common to the bulk of humanity. In other words, stories of flesh and blood, sensitive and true.
On the other hand, we are convinced that cinema is the most important tool of social and cultural transformation in the world; and that festivals are alternative media and windows of exhibition, whose specific function is the dynamic interaction with the target audience, in order to reach levels of deep awareness for those spectators.
Therefore, we want to introduce ourselves to you, filmmakers, in a formal and honest way, pretending to be considered a bridge between those who see, interpret and shape reality in a different way and the inhabitants of our region; a region located in Colombia, which urgently needs to hear messages of social and cultural hope through art, in order to achieve inner peace and radical changes in their lives.

Celebrating Excellence in Cinema
The Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival is a not-to-profit, non-commercial & India’s only independent film festival, established in the year 2011 in Delhi NCR with a mission to celebrate the cinema & work of aspiring, young, independent & professional filmmakers. The festival is important for Indian film industry as it is organized on 30 April each year to mark the birth anniversary of Late.Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, who is regarded as the father of Indian Cinema & fondly remembered as Dada Saheb Phalke by the film fraternity across the India & globe. Its aim is to recognize the enlightening, entertaining & progressive new age cinema of youth & experienced filmmakers.

The festival grows over the years & attracts filmmakers from across the India & 90+ nations across the world. The festival has sections for feature films, short films, documentaries, animations, music videos & ad films. The festival awards the filmmakers in production, creative, music & performance categories.
14th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-2024 aims to celebrate the excellence in cinema. Dada Saheb Phalke started the movement of cinema in India in real sense & he is the symbol of excellence. His contribution to Indian cinema is unparallel. Today Indian cinema is touching the sky in terms of both content & technology but it is worth mentioning that it was started by legendry Dada Saheb Phalke and we are just carrying it forward.
Founded by the Educationexpo TV, a leading entertainment research & branding company and managed by Miniboxoffice, Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-24 provides chance to filmmakers to showcase their creativity. While the festival is open to filmmakers of all age, we feel that just as it is imperative that we should support and encourage participation by filmmaking community members & professional, it is also important that we find and cultivate the future members of the entertainment industry.

The best actors from the best films can join our “Accent” International Talent Management. Also the trailers of the awarded films will be in our web site for years, providing more exposure. Our festival helps expose new and emerging directors and actors. NOFI festivals give them an opportunity to present their names in motion pictures studios and be discovered in the film industry worldwide. NOFI is designed to showcase innovative work by new filmmakers who may (or may not) have been overlooked by other festivals. We organize forums and round tables with filmmakers during the NOFI festivals to understand their needs, help solve common problems with film production and discuss their future projects.

It´s the way of calling: NOVMA (non violence & Enviroment Film Festival)
The first edition of the NOVMA FILM FESTIVAL took place on october 2012.
Welcome the 2nd annual FilmQuest Festival!
FIlmQuest celebrates the majesty of genre filmmaking such as fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and the beyond. Awarding filmmakers in 2014 with over $30,000 in awards and prizes, including the coveted Cthulhu Trophy, the festival launched with great praise and fanfare . FilmQuest has been designed specifically to cater to the empowerment of the filmmaker through various events, awards, swag, connections, and more.
In creating the festival, we thought long and hard about what it is that makes a festival great. We asked ourselves the tough questions. What we’ve come up with is, we believe, a festival experience that is the kind most filmmakers dream about.
Major industry professionals took part in the first Grand Jury, including Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Silver Surfer, Hocus Pocus), Dameon Clarke (Borderlands 2, Dragonball Z), and Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones). The New York Times bestselling author, David Farland, is already confirmed for the 2015 Grand Jury. The award juries will award our filmmakers in over 25 individual categories. Our selection committee is also made up of a group of industry professionals from various fields, such as directors, actors, producers, professors, writers, animators, casting directors, and more.
FilmQuest itself is the film festival branch of FantasyCon, a convention that puts the fantasy experience of the patrons first. It is an interactive convention, where dragons, magic and battle literally comes to life. Just as FantasyCon is a celebration of all things Fantasy, from horror to adventure, so is FilmQuest a celebration of all things Fantastic in film.
We will also be hosting parties, events, panels and more!
We encourage you to explore our website (www.filmquestfestival.com) for new information and updates as it comes, including who is on the Grand Jury, the Selection Committee, the Official Selections, venues, and more. As the year progresses, we'll be updating our website and this page with more info on what to expect, the celebrities who will be involved with FilmQuest, the official dates (2015 FilmQuest will take place in July, 2015), and more.
Prepare for Fantastic.

The International TV Festival Bar is held in the last week of October in the town of Bar lying on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro, one of the six former Yugoslav republics.
The Festival was started in 1994. It has endeavoured to preserve the loosened ties among people and nations of what used to be their common homeland, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and indicate that their future cooperation in the media and openness to the world is inevitable.
The first festival took place in 1995. After one year's break in 1998, it continued gathering more and more television centres from renowned European and world centres, as well as from all the republics of former Yugoslavia.
The Festival is held in the last week of October. As of 2001, the Festival (MEDIACOM Sector) also organizes events of different content and purpose, such as Meetings of Television Stations of South East Europe, and other similar events.
HERITAGE FILM FESTIVAL

The Heritage Film Festival is not just an EVENT... but a CAUSE with the aim to REVIVE the dying traditional art forms,

Overall aim of the Heritage Film Festival (HFF) is to encourage film submissions, organize film making projects, review film competitions, and screen films to different audiences.
The Maryland International Kids FilmFest is an outgrowth of the children's programming at the annual Frederick Film Festival -The F3- held each year in June.
Since the beginning, the F3 has been dedicated to providing not only a unique film-going experience in the region by providing premiere films as well as films not likely to be screened in the area, but also providing children's programming on Saturday mornings.
This portion of the F3's programming was so popular that the festival organizers felt an entire festival of great film should not just be reserved for adults, but be provided for the younger set as well. Often, films and programs aimed at children seem...childish. Not challenging. Safe. And far too often, not entertaining. Especially those constructed to be long commericals in the guise of young people's programming.
The Maryland International Kids FilmFest is committed to bring high-quality, challenging, and, most importantly, ENTERTAINING movie programing...in the form of short films as well as feature length films...to the state. And we can pretty much guarantee that you'll not see any film with a fast-food restaurant tie-in product.
Other film events during the MIKFF will highlight the venue itself. The Weinberg Center for the Arts is an historic building and a jewel valued by the entire state and the festival is proud to have the opportunity to show movies in one of the grandest movie palaces in the area. Take some time to walk around the building while you're here and discover what an extraordinary thing going to the movies once was.
