Bucharest Short Film Festival [BSFF]

Independent is the key word for Bucharest Short Film Festival [BSFF], as it is founded by independent film professionals and focuses on independent artists in cinema, from all over the world. Bucharest Short Film Festival aims at recognizing, showcasing and spreading-out the most professional, most innovative, and most interesting fresh short international films, while always prioritizing independent short films.

Bucharest Short Film Festival will showcase some of the finest short international film in Narrative, Animation, Student, Experimental, Documentary, Music Video and Human Rights. We take to heart the amount of work put into each film. Therefore, the festival rules ensure that each movie is reviewed at least two times and well-debated by our team. Some of the awarded films will also be screened at other international film festivals.

Independent artists and their short films will meet an effervescent, and a quite experienced with cinema and film festivals audience, ensuring quality networking, and engaging opportunities, while the selected films will be determined by a panel of industry experts.

Bucharest Short Film Festival is building a strong community of interest around international independent film professionals and film lovers, in the heart of one of the most interesting emergent capitals of arts and culture, a city that never sleeps – Bucharest.

The festival will run film screenings, preceded or followed by artists Q&A, or networking side events, and, surely, parties, that all take place in various conventional and unconventional stages around Bucharest, as in cinemas, open spaces, and even summer theatres. Bucharest, you’ve heard about it, eventually – a city for young people. Well known for different things – like “Old Paris” nickname, in its bourgeois times, before the communism decades, or the world’s biggest parliamentary building [and one of the largest buildings of any kind], from its communism times, new architecture, or the explosive contemporary art scene, and the also quite impressive underground arts and music and nightlife communities, in its current times.

El Festival de Cine Colombia Migrante (FCCM) es una apuesta por visibilizar, generar lazos y crear un espacio de difusión, apoyo y creación de productos cinematográficos y audiovisuales que narren de alguna forma, la complejidad de los fenómenos de migración de los colombianos al interior de su territorio y al exterior. Como también lo que significa para algunos extranjeros migrar a Colombia.

La complejidad de los fenómenos del movimiento y la migración humana nos abre la posibilidad de considerar distintos factores, procesos, lugares, representaciones y prácticas en torno a estos. Por esta razón y para poder generar una visibilidad efectiva, una comunicación acertada y poder apoyar la generación de nuevos proyectos, este festival se centrará en que cada edición tenga una línea temática única. Para nuestra primera edición la temática central es: El Exilio.
