Presentism is a philosophy of time that states nothing in the past or future exists. The only reality is the present moment, which is redefined. A moment is no longer like the blade of a knife, gone the instant it is felt. Rather, it is an extended duration of conscious experience. Reality is also redefined. The world is no longer characterized as a set of historic and anticipated facts, as in “once and for all.” The presentist defines reality as a world that relies on constant survey. And when events happen in multiple places simultaneously, they are part of the same reality.

We seek short films and video works (no more than 10 minutes) from filmmakers and artists that explore these ideas. How do we experience the present? What events today constitute a sense of the present? What activities constitute a constant survey of facts and ideas? How is the concept of presentism expanded globally in the era of live data? How does the moving image define a duration of extended consciousness? In what ways might the human condition change if removed from the past and the future? All genres will be accepted including documentary, narrative, animation and experimental.

FOLLOWING REVIEW AND SELECTION, FILMMAKERS WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL IF THEIR FILM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.

ACCEPTED FILMS ARE DUE AT THE GALLERY NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1ST.

Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition

Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.

Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.

ENTRETODOS 18 - это фестиваль с бесплатным входом, посвященный выставке и награждению короткометражных фильмов продолжительностью до 25 минут всех жанров и форматов, посвященных вопросам прав человека.

Фестиваль проходит в Сан-Паулу. Продюсировано префектурой Сан-Паулу, Spicine и ESTATE Produções.

От CINESPACIO мы хотим сосредоточиться это издание фестиваля на тех работах, которые были сосредоточены на миграционных условиях и их связи с аудиовизуальных форм производства. В мире, где границы постоянно строятся и воображаемые линии рисуются, чтобы нарушить идентичность, а также создать их, необходимо, чтобы аудиовизуальный сектор думал о своей роли в способах осуществления и в представленных темах.

Мы предлагаем интерпретировать границу как пространство, где транснациональная идентичность рождается и вступает в конфликт; пространство, где создаются новые сети и эмоциональные сообщества и находятся в постоянном движении; пространство, в котором они сталкиваются с проблемами признания личности и принадлежности к общине. Если граница - это то, что делимитирует, кто мы есть, пересечение границ включает в себя, то задача быть кем-то другим и знать, как быть кем-то другим путем сближения и прикосновения, имея в виду, что содержание на границах, прикосновение внешних, не будет таким же снова.

Международный кинофестиваль Автономного университета Нижней Калифорнии способствует обмену опытом в области аудиовизуальной продукции, а также накоплению знаний вокруг кинематографического явления.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ КИНОФЕСТИВАЛЬ SEMBRANDO CINE
XII ИЗДАНИЕ: Распознавание нашей тени

Наша тень может стать настоящей проблемой.

Именно эту сторону человечности мы предпочитаем скрывать и которая заставляет нас действовать сомнительно.

Отчасти именно эта тень привела нас к ужасному воздействию на окружающую среду.

Вырубка лесов, разливы нефти, загрязнение почв и морей, уничтожение биологических видов, нарушение прав коренных народов и убийства защитников окружающей среды.

Эта индивидуальная и коллективная тень проецируется из больших городов на наши экосистемы под защитой государственной законности и частных инвестиций в пользу «прогресса и индустриализации».

В те времена, когда вызванный нами дисбаланс окружающей среды возвращается к нам подобно климатическим катастрофам и природным хищениям, нам следует осмелиться оглянуться на эту тень.

Мы обязаны понять последствия этого явления, указать на тех, кто его прогнозирует, и потребовать принятия нормативных актов для защиты тех, кого оно затрагивает.

Они говорят, что первый шаг к решению проблемы — это ее выявление, и сегодня с помощью кинематографа мы стремимся признать наши действия, остановить их влияние на нашу уникальную природную среду.

ФЕСТИВАЛЬ ФИЛЬМОВ ОБ ОКРУЖАЮЩЕЙ СРЕДЕ SEMBRANDO CINE — XII ВЫПУСК
РАСПОЗНАВАНИЕ НАШЕЙ ТЕНИ

Международный фестиваль документального кино в Боготе (MIDBO), организованный Колумбийской гильдией документальных кинематографистов ALADOS, — это специализированное мероприятие в области научно-популярного кино, которое за последние 26 лет закрепилось в Колумбии и Латинской Америке в качестве основного пространства выставок, диалогов и осмысления научно-популярных аудиовизуальных материалов.

Что касается 27 MIDBO, мы хотели бы пригласить местных и иберо-американских кинематографистов и продюсеров представить свои аудиовизуальные работы на конкурс фильмов 2025 года и принять участие в различных формативных и дискуссионных площадках, которые будут проходить виртуально и на месте на протяжении всего фестиваля.


27 МИДБО

В этом году 27-я выставка MIDBO пройдет с 29 октября по 7 ноября в Боготе, Колумбия. В течение года MIDBO покажет несколько фильмов в разных регионах страны и сохранит интервал MIDBO-ALADOS Tuesday в разных смежных кинотеатрах.

После 26 выпусков MIDBO продолжает работать над организацией мероприятия, способствующего привлечению внимания к документальному кино и различным подходам к изображению реальности. Наш главный интерес заключается в изучении множества способов запечатлеть мир. Стремясь разгадать все сложности непревзойденной реальности, мы каждый год стремимся создать идеальное пространство для коллективного участия в создании документального кино.

В 2025 году мы по-прежнему привержены развитию творческого потенциала и признанию усилий кинематографистов. Таким образом, мы организуем две конкурсные секции: одну национальную, а другую иберо-американскую. В этих разделах мы вручим награды за лучший национальный документальный фильм, включающий как короткометражные, так и полнометражные фильмы, а также за лучший иберо-американский документальный полнометражный фильм, посвященный фильмам продолжительностью более 60 минут, снятым в Иберо-Америке. Жюри каждого конкурса будет объявлено за месяц до начала мероприятия и будет состоять из трех (3) художников, кинематографистов, писателей, критиков или культурных менеджеров из Колумбии и всего мира.

HEMOGLOZINE — это культурное мероприятие, укрепленное на национальном и международном уровнях. Кинофестиваль, который фокусируется на жанрах с большим влиянием и последователей во всем мире, жанрах ужасов, научной фантастики и фэнтези.

Короче говоря, HEMOGLOZINE состоит из:
-Международный конкурс, где представлены новые произведения ужаса и фантазии.
-Большое количество параллельных мероприятий с жанром.

A Femme International Film Festival is a premier festival that focuses on platforming women filmmakers “by women, for everyone”. Our Festival was created in 2005, when it became apparent that there was a need to enhance women behind the camera as Directors, Producers, and Writers. We were the first in Los Angeles to host such an event and film festival empowering women. All those that followed are just duplicates of the movement we started over a decade ago.

Through our Partners and Sponsors we have provided one-one-one meetings with our filmmakers or helped secure financing. CBS Entertainment Diversity Department and Sony Entertainment met with a selected group of our filmmakers with the goal to offer potential employment and/or placement as a director or writer under their diversity department. It is through our direct efforts that these opportunities are being secured for our LA Femme Int. Film Festival Filmmakers.

As LA Femme moves into the next few years, it plans to expand its platform so that more women in the industry and from around the world can have the benefit of taking their film to the next level through increased distribution outlets, more key positions in the entertainment industry and more recognition as artistic creators emerging as leaders in the industry.

Our goal is to create more such opportunities through exemplary programming, networking, and panel events. A classic professional atmosphere will create a sense of ‘opportunity’ for participants. LA Femme International Film Festival is “By Women for Everyone.”

Objectives:
To continually showcase and celebrate commercially viable films Written, Directed, or Produced by women.

To opening a pathway for women entering the industry by encouraging mentor-ship and artistic sharing between those women established in the field and those just beginning.

To Platform new emerging talent and support established women in cross-over roles.

To assist in distributing the feature films that are platformed in our festival with domestic theatrical releases and home video distribution.

Mission:
La Femme International Film Festival will support and nurture the artistic entertainment productions of women for the benefit of distribution to an international and domestic audience.

Emphasis:
»Our emphasis is on providing a complete specialized festival based on showcasing and celebrating commercially successful films written, directed, or produced by women and creating a system of access for those new to the industry directly to established women industry professionals.
»To assist in distribution of these films
»To mentor other women into positions of power in the independent and big budget, studio entertainment community.

Summary:
LA Femme Film Festival is more than a festival it is an emergence of artistic, professional women who make a difference in the entertainment community by creating productions that speak to a world wide audience. We were the first festival of its kind in Beverly Hills to not only platform existing films and artists but also distribute and mentor such films and the woman artists who created them.

Thank you for considering our festival for your film!

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."

"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.

Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"

IndieFEST strives to give talented directors, producers, actors, creative teams and new media creators the positive exposure and credibility they deserve.

Фестиваль Mix Brasil является ежегодным культурным мероприятием с акцентом на фильмы, связанные с сексуальностью в ее различных формах выражения.

В 2020 году около 176 тысяч человек посетили показы, театральные и музыкальные представления, конференции и дебаты, которые были представлены в 28-м ежегодном издании фестиваля.

Mix Brasil проводится в ноябре в престижных кинотеатрах Сан-Паулу и в полной мере использует разнообразие города для проведения разнообразных инновационных мероприятий. После Сан-Паулу Mix Brasil гастролирует сокращенные программы в другие бразильские города.

Это мероприятие проводится Ассоциацией культурных миксов Бразилии, некоммерческой организацией, которая стремится поощрять свободу выражения сексуального разнообразия, изучая новые и различные пути достижения этой цели.

** ВАЖНО — КОВИД-19 ОПОВЕЩЕНИЕ**

В связи с пандемией Covid-19, издание Festival Mix Brasil 2021 будет проходить онлайн, на безопасной платформе, с ограниченным количеством посетителей в каждом показе. Если это допускается руководящими принципами местных государственных учреждений, фестиваль также может проходить в кинотеатрах.
Таким образом, делается вывод, что ваше представление на Festival Mix Brasil/Festhome означает, что вы соглашаетесь с тем, что в случае выбора фильм также будет показан онлайн.
