Blog: Festivals de cinéma

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.

Le Festival Inclús est un festival de productions audiovisuelles, documentaires et fictionnelles, centrées sur le thème des handicaps physiques et mentaux. Il s'agit d'une initiative Associació Inclús menée par Fish Muvi.

L'objectif du Festival Inclús est de donner de la visibilité aux œuvres audiovisuelles produites autour du thème du handicap avec un point de vue différent. L'objectif est de fournir une perspective plus approfondie de la réalité des handicaps, que la production soit portée par des entités directement impliquées dans le monde du handicap, ou par d'autres personnes ou groupes.

Nous sommes également un festival inclusif, c'est pourquoi nous avons créé deux nouvelles sections : Valeurs incluses, cinéma pour enfants et adolescents sur des questions sociales et cinéma en langage gestuel, films en langue des signes.

Le festival aura lieu du 10 au 16 décembre 2025, à proximité de la Journée internationale du handicap, le 3 décembre. Le matériel audiovisuel des finalistes sera diffusé au cours de cette journée selon les différentes catégories. Il y aura des récompenses pour les meilleures soumissions. Inclús se concentre sur les productions audiovisuelles, mais elle a également d'autres activités et disciplines artistiques et commerciales afin de donner de la visibilité à ce secteur.

Depuis 2013, le Festival international du film sur les droits de l'homme en Colombie propose au public un programme audiovisuel, culturel et universitaire qui contribue au développement du public, au renforcement des industries cinématographiques et culturelles, à la création d'espaces de dialogue sur la vie, à la réconciliation, à la promotion et à la défense des droits humains et à la construction d'idées pour la paix.

Le Festival est la plateforme idéale pour la communauté cinématographique colombienne et internationale qui s'engage à raconter des histoires dans une perspective des droits humains. Il constitue un espace clé pour la promotion, la circulation, la distribution et l'exposition d'œuvres audiovisuelles dont la demande commerciale est limitée en raison de leur orientation sociale et thématique.

Le festival se déroule simultanément dans les villes de Barranquilla, Medellín, Cali, Bogotá, Manizales, Pereira et Quibdó, ainsi que dans une vingtaine de municipalités à travers le pays.

#VIEWCONFERENCE est le premier événement international en Italie sur l'infographie, les techniques interactives, le cinéma numérique, l'animation, la réalité virtuelle et augmentée, les jeux, les effets visuels et la narration immersive.

VIEW CONFERENCE è un evento internazionale a cadenza annuale incentrato sulla computer grafica, le tecniche interattive, le cinéma numérique, l'animation, les jeux vidéo, les effets visuels, Realta' Virtuale e aumentata e storytelling immersivo.
