Blog: Festivals de cinéma

Zinegoak est organisé par l'association Zinegoak et aura lieu dans la ville de Bilbao, en Espagne, en juin 2026.

Tous les films qui abordent la diversité sexuelle et de genre et les familles LGTBQ+, qui ont été produits après le 1er janvier 2024 et n'ont jamais été diffusés ou commercialisés au Pays Basque.

Dans le cadre des multiples activités présentées et organisées par Andares : Cinematographic Actions, nous avons le plaisir de vous présenter la quatrième édition de notre festival du film contemporain. Une autre édition courte, soignée et compacte pour célébrer la cinéphilie à l'automne péruvien.

Le FECILI (International Cine Libre Fest) est né comme une initiative culturelle qui a pour objectif de diffuser les productions cinématographiques colombiennes, latino-américaines et internationales.

En tant que plateforme d'exposition, nous prétendons réaliser, former et éduquer les gens avec différentes activités non formelles à enseigner. Nous appellerons les personnes qui voient dans l'art, le cinéma et le langage audiovisuel une possibilité de se rencontrer, d'apprendre, de parler et de s'amuser.

Le festival international Cine Libre est organisé par la Corporación Cine Libre. Il est né d'une initiative culturelle dirigée par des jeunes qui veulent que l'art soit au cœur des différentes villes. Ce festival de cinéma aura lieu à El Carmen de Viboral. Antioquia.

Nous avons fait le pari de promouvoir le cinéma en tant qu'outil de transformation sociale, de créer une plateforme culturelle et un artiste d'exposition, de rester unis au sein d'un réseau de festivals qui peut nous aider à transmettre des connaissances.

Les films sélectionnés seront projetés dans les heures indiquées dans le calendrier du festival et sur notre site officiel www.fecili.com et sur les réseaux :

Nous sommes un fan d'un spectre ouvert à d'autres expériences et où les villes et villages peuvent profiter d'une grande diversité culturelle, publique et humaine, tout cela lié à un monde merveilleux appelé Festival Cine Libre-fecili.

Feel The Reel is a monthly international film festival founded in Glasgow, United Kingdom. FTR is not only an online film festival, but also a festival with live screenings, our friends from Bucharest ShortCut Cinefest making this possible. Therefore, screenings will take place once a month and our winner will have the chance to be screened in the very heart of the dynamic and evergrowing Bucharest, in Romania - at Manasia Hub.

L'objectif du festival fait référence à la fois à la prise de conscience des filtres externes présents à l'écran, notamment la censure (commerciale, idéologique, esthétique), et des filtres internes de perception et de projection de l'écran, y compris l'autocensure. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO explore l'esthétisation et la marchandisation dans l'art. Le prochain objectif du festival est d'exposer la complexité, la multiplicité et la variété du cinéma.

NEFILTRAVANAE KINO est un festival de films organisé par le Short Movie Club, la plateforme dédiée aux projets cinématographiques. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO est un festival qualifié pour le prix ADAMI Media. La Conférence internationale d'études cinématographiques se tient en même temps que le festival du film. Ainsi, la théorie et la pratique du cinéma sont intégrées au NEFILTRAVANAE KINO.

À l'origine, le festival se tenait en Biélorussie, mais en raison de la répression politique et des positions anti-guerre déclarées publiquement, des projections et des événements peuvent être organisés dans différents pays. Tout d'abord en Lituanie (Vilnius). Par exemple, le 10e Nefiltravanae Kino a eu lieu à Berlin, Vilnius et Helsinki l'année dernière. 63 films ont été sélectionnés pour 12 programmes de films. https://shortmovie.club/programmes/10-2024/

Le concept du NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (Cinéma non filtré) :

PROBLÈME D'ALIÉNATION

Nous vivons dans un monde de centres commerciaux et de cinémas multiplex. Nous constatons que le cinéma indépendant et l'art non marchand sont relégués au second plan de l'attention du public. Les attractions primitives remplacent la cinématographie. Le public évadé est aliéné derrière le grand écran. Le cinéma grand public moderne fait donc partie d'un outil de manipulation qui mène à la société de l'aliénation. Le cinéma indépendant a donc tendance à devenir plus illisible pour le grand public. Nous devons comprendre le contexte du cinéaste pour comprendre le cinéma indépendant. C'est pourquoi le concept NEFILTRAVANAE KINO implique la présence physique des cinéastes.

PROBLÈME DE SÉLECTION DE FILMS
Les cinéastes tournent des millions de films. Et des milliers de festivals de courts métrages organisent des projections dans le monde entier chaque année. En moyenne, plusieurs milliers de films sont soumis à un festival de films. Ainsi, divers bons films peuvent être négligés pour une raison quelconque. Choisir la probabilité revient souvent à gagner au loto. Par conséquent, les cinéastes n'ont aucun feedback. C'est un paradoxe que personne ne puisse vous entendre à l'ère d'Internet ! La culture dominante préfère les attractions et les visites décontractées.

Cette idée est également basée sur le problème de sélection des films. Il n'est peut-être pas surprenant qu'une seule personne, dans le meilleur des cas le directeur du programme, ou même des étudiants d'écoles de cinéma prennent la décision préliminaire de sélectionner un film. La concordance des juges ou des préviseurs est plus rare qu'une différence d'antécédents ou de goûts. La sélection ou le jugement peuvent donc être unilatéraux ou superficiels. Ce n'est pas mal car le directeur du programme a bien sûr bon goût et une bonne sensibilité esthétique. Mais nous avons découvert une autre conception du « cinéma non filtré ». Nous l'avons comparé à « la meilleure des meilleures » méthodes. Cette méthode permet de percevoir l'idiome cinématographique sans être dictée par les curateurs d'art.

CÉLÉBRATION DU CINÉMA INDÉPENDANT
Le Unfiltered Cinema Film Festival essaie donc d'éviter « le meilleur des meilleurs » moyens, mais il ne l'ignore pas complètement, bien sûr. Le festival sélectionne des sections de fiction, d'animation, de documentaire, d'expérimentation et de réalité virtuelle. Un jury récompense le meilleur film dans chaque section. Le festival organise des projections dans les salles de cinéma, au Centre national des arts contemporains et dans des espaces artistiques.

Notre objectif est de rassembler les gens autour de l'art, d'avoir un dialogue pour être heureux grâce à une communication intelligente. Le cinéma est un art, pas un sport. Le point clé de notre projet est d'établir une communication entre le cinéaste et le public.

UFO – the short film festival

UFO – the unidentified film object

UFO – that stands for an evening filled with 15 different short movies of various genres, themes, and forms of presentation.

Short, yet elaborately enacted; symbolic and significant; focused and continually surprising.
The short film represents a striking format among film genres, as it is so diversely interpreted, maintained with passion and constantly received.

Makers of short films are challenged technically as well as in their artistry – the size provokes the craftsmanship by its shortness and at the same time serves as a canvas for cinematic experimentation and creative self-realization.

Since its establishment in 2005 the UFO – short film festival serves filmmakers from Germany and Europe – regarding especially the young talents – as a platform, to present their works for the first time in Leipzig.

Being held in january, the festival always commences the Year of Cinematic Art in Leipzig.

Le Festival international du film sur les lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transgenres et intersexes (Cinema Movilh) propose des longs métrages, des courts métrages et des documentaires les plus importants et les plus connus du Chili, qui se déroule chaque année à Santiago, puis parcourt les régions de diversité sexuelle. Des œuvres locales ou étrangères peuvent être projetées au Festival après avoir postulé sous la forme indiquée dans le présent règlement.

Le Mexico City Videodance Festival, en collaboration avec Red Nacional de Arte, invite les chorégraphes, les cinéastes, les entreprises et les artistes visuels à enregistrer leurs œuvres à la sixième édition de la FiVideoDanza, qui aura lieu du 02 au 05 septembre 2021.

Le Festival International du Film de Skepto a un caractère compétitif et est ouvert aux courts métrages sans limite quant à leur sujet, leur style ou leur budget de production. Il est ouvert aux courts métrages de toutes sortes, y compris les documentaires, vidéoclips musicaux, vidéoart, courts métrages expérimentaux, spots, fausses bandes-annonces, nouveaux formats, vidéos mobiles, etc.

Le festival aura lieu à Cagliari en avril 2022, avec des projections collatérales aux mêmes dates ou au cours des mois suivants (avant la fin de 2022 — nous prévoyons d'organiser au moins deux événements dans d'autres villes sardes et deux dans d'autres villes italiennes ou internationales). Les dates exactes seront publiées sur le site officiel du Festival www.skepto.net

OMAI Film and Theatre Festival is a branch of OMAI. The festival was born in San Antonio, Texas at the very beginning of 2016 by Actress/Director Andrea Mundaka.

The idea of it is to promote the audiovisual arts around the world and give the opportunity to others to show their work and dedication for this type of art. We believe that by helping each other grow, we can all make it, and what better way to show our work than a festival? The submissions are open to everyone who has anything ready to show in a movie theatre. We want to work together, along with all the members of OMAI to make this festival a complete success, and show the hidden jewels of film around the world.

Le conseil municipal de Noia organise le « 24e festival de courts métrages Vila de Noia 2023 », qui se tiendra au dernier trimestre de cette année.

Selected films represented countries from around the world, including Japan, France, Denmark, Germany, Iran, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, China, and the USA. We consider all works regardless of genre and country of origin.

We are currently accepting film submissions for the 2016 Festival!

Who we are: The Cape Cod International Film Festival is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization that hosts an annual event showcasing the best local, regional, national (USA) and International films for residents of the "mid-Cape,", as well as traveling tourists, visitors from around the world, and film industry professionals. We strive to strike a balance between the film-making world and a general audience who is in need of an engaging cultural event. Our attendees tend to be well-traveled, educated, influential and supportive.

The objectives of the CCIFF are to:

1. Select and promote the absolute best films in any given year produced by a diverse and global pool of filmmaking teams.

2. Provide educational opportunities and entertainment for audience members who appreciate the effort that goes into making a quality film.

3. Provide networking opportunities for members of the film community.

4. Provide filmmakers an opportunity to interact with their audience via Q&A sessions at screenings (live and online), social events and sponsorship events.

5. Give filmmakers and production teams a chance to travel to a highly-regarded tourist destination known throughout the world for its food, beaches and "New England hospitality."

In the works for 2016 is an opening night gala on Thursday, October 6th, at the best film theater on Cape Cod: The Chatham Orpheum. The Orpheum is an all-digital cinema with a 150-seat main room and 35-seat screening room. Select short films will be showcased again in Orleans, Cape Cod at the Main Street Wine and Gourmet film loft.

We also strive to help filmmakers find a "home" for their work, and have evolving relationships with sales agencies, distributors and broadcasters. Our current slate of contacts includes: PBS, ESPN, TBS, A24, Screen Media Ventures, Shoreline Entertainment, and The Rainbow Group - with new relationships being established all the time...

We consider ourselves a boutique event, with 318 submissions in 2015. Larger festivals with a similar approach include the Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF), Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSFilmFest), and Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF). We aim to serve and champion high-quality work that is not industry-centric. We leave that to Cannes, Berlin, Toronto (TIFF), SXSW and Sundance. The CCIFF aspires to be one of the world's best film festivals worth the entry fee!

Thank you to our platform partners: FilmFreeway, and our media partner, the Cape Cod Times. Thank you to the local businesses who have supported us: Chatham Orpheum, Main Street Wine and Gourmet, The Chocolate Sparrow, Sunbird Cafe, Rockland Trust, Tom Bromley of CentreGrafik, Snow Library, Flowers by Mary, and The Little Inn on Pleasant Bay.

And special thanks to all who participated in the 2015 event, especially the talented filmmakers who flew (and drove) from far and wide to attend, talk with audience members and participate in Q&A sessions!

Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee
25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World

“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle

“Sundance may have sold out, but SF IndieFest keeps it real” – Annie Lo, Flavorpill

“While the Bay Area is flush with festivals, this one remains an under-the-radar standout.” – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

“The San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the Bay Area’s version of Slamdance, provides a showcase for edgy cinematic work — and a great excuse to do some serious partying.” – David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

"The movie business is in a perennial state of constant tension between ambition and collaboration, joyful inventiveness and jaw-dropping paydays. This roiling undercurrent, usually invisible to the public, gushes to the surface in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony. There is an antidote, however, to Hollywood’s annual backslapathon: SF IndieFest. The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a beacon to anybody excited by the basic impulse of making movies. In its heart of hearts, IndieFest is a celebration of the minor miracle of finishing a film and getting it up on a screen in front of a live audience." - Michael Fox, KQED

“For many independent filmmakers, festivals such as SF Indiefest—aka the San Francisco Independent Film Festival–are the only way to bring their works before an audience. For filmgoers, SF Indiefest is the place to see original cinematic works created by directors who want to tell edgy stories which come from their hearts and souls. While some have bemoaned the death of cinema, the curators and filmmakers at SF Indiefest are keeping the craft of film alive.” – David Elijah Nahmod, SF SOUNDS

“SF IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program and take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece, but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise.” -Michael Fox, KQED

FILMMAKER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

"Hey Jeff: Just want to shoot you a quick note of thanks on hosting us at IndieFest and giving us our World Premiere. We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the fest and in SF; it's a great vibe and the diversity of features and shorts in the program made for a really exciting and energized atmosphere. "- Max Gardner, Go/Don't Go

"Festivals bring unexpected benefits. Festivals are essential for brand creation. Premiering at Tribeca was enough to convince people to at least listen to me, but surprisingly it was the San Francisco Indie Fest that was just as crucial for our theatrical release. Our press from this festival helped convince the Red Vic to book us in April (I thank the amazing S.F. publicist Karen Larsen for convincing me of this in advance). We also incorporated festivals into our broader theatrical release, and while we did not claim them as cities in our 17-city count, they helped give us something to crow about."

http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/fall2008/bomb_it.php

"I've got to tell you that Indiefest was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I tell all filmmakers - and festival organizer friends of mine - how you run your fest and how you run each film twice. Every single time people look at me with shocked disbelief. Truly, Bonnie and I loved being a part of the event.
Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"

"We LOVED San Francisco, meeting other filmmakers, seeing their films, participating in your screenplay panel and of course our awesome sold-out screening. You have one of the most engaged, passionate cinephile audiences I’ve ever seen at a film fest — they were incredible." - Warren Sonoda, THINGS I DO FOR MONEY, IndieFest 2020

"You have a great and engaging festival and one that draws on extremely passionate indie film audiences you are rabid for amazing content for which you definitely provide in bunches! You support of us and our film is greatly appreciated and we hope we are privileged To be welcomed back again in the future!" - Avi F.

"Thanks for these amazing photos (kudos on composition, lighting, and hyping up the crowd - what a great gift to filmmakers!). A million thanks to you both for pulling off an amazing event. We love the ethos of SF IndieFest and we're so honored to have participated. Thanks for your dedication to uplifting local filmmakers and for putting our all-female team (and our unexpected and important story) in the spotlight. Looking forward to seeing and working with you both again in the future!!" - Leslie Tai, How To Have An American Baby

"Thank you for a wonderful experience. The festival was a blast, the people so kind, the films inspiring, and great vibes all around. I'll be back to catch more films in the coming days." - Kerry Muir, Madame

"Thank you so much for having us and all that you and SF IndieFest do to champion independent film." - Anna Moot-Levin, Matter of Mind
