Mission:
A judged film festival described as "Sundance with Fangs" by Newsday Long Island. We provide a venue for showcasing your films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those of you who passionately craft your Strange-ifical, Weird-ifical, Horror-ifical, Sci-fi-tastical, Fantastical and Macabre-licious films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced: Ma-Cob. The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning: disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury, WE ARE NOT SOLELY A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL but instead a whole lot more than that. We usually approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in the sense that, not all of the films screened are horror and instead many may simply be considered a bit on the darker side. Of course, we will add some horror to this festival but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as:
Vincent Price & Peter Cushing or those fantastic Gothic horrors like the "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to us. What we are saying is that the word "Macabre" DOES NOT mean we only accept HORROR films but instead that we welcome those films that can tap into our fears through what you don't see or hear. A dark drama, mystery, suspense, thriller or dark comedy can do a lovely job making us feel uncomfortable in the dark. So folks, this is what many of the films selected for the Macabre Faire Film Festival offer. A buffet for any pallet. About the only thing we may have to say "No Thanks" to would be a romantic comedy/drama... unless, there's a monster under the bed during love making or other dark element.
All submitted films are pre-screened by select judges that includes Eileen Dietz, our Festival Ambassador, of the original "The Exorcist" film to ensure the films have followed guidelines and are an overall fit for the festival. Then the films are passed on to another set of judges consisting of more filmmakers, film critics, genre film fans and or seasoned actors to choose the Official Selections. Once these selections have been identified there is an additional judging process in collaboration with the original pre-screening judges to identify the different category nominees. Once you have been notified we insist on having the film festival entry form filled out and submitted back to the festival via email or snail mail within 4 weeks of acceptance. This form can be found on our website or it has been emailed to you as an attachment with your initial welcoming email.
URGENT NOTE: IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FESTIVAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ACCEPTED FILM WITHIN 4 WEEKS FROM INITIAL ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION, WHICH ALL FILMMAKERS RECEIVE FROM FESTHOME BY DEADLINE DATE, YOUR FILM WILL NO LONGER BE AN OFFICIAL SELECTION IN THE MACABRE FAIRE FILM FESTIVAL. So we urge everyone to check their spam folders at all times and or ensure to make contact with the festival within 4 weeks of the acceptance notification. Failure to do so will exclude your film from the festival. Please take the time to ACTUALLY READ all the pages of the submission form which contains mailing address information (if needed) and other very important details which includes getting your discs or film posters sent to the festival in a timely fashion. This does not mean mailing materials in 2 weeks before the event as they will not be accepted.
Moving on...
January's festival always falls on Martin Luther King Jr weekend for easy remembering. This 4 day event start with Thursday and Friday being solely screening days with minimal panels within 3 screening rooms. The festival continues for another 2 days with Saturday screenings starting at 12pm into midnight within 4-5 screening rooms and an intimately sized vendor room with additional panels available for guests. Saturday evening is capped with an elaborate Red Carpet Gala Award Ceremony that offers a glamorous atmosphere filled with Press, Photos, Entertainment, Dinner and Awards! This is NOT to be missed.
Sunday captures the conversations from the night prior winners and more. A perfect day to catch those shorts you may have missed as it usually hosts an encore segment for short films from 12pm until 6pm. Be sure to visit the vendor room before the day is over and sit in on another panel or other special treat before it all ends until the following year.
Several films that have screened at MFFF have received distribution at this time for titles like: Cannibal Diner, Caesar & Otto's Deadly XMas, Caesar & Otto's Paranormal Halloween, Model Hunger, The Perfect House, House of Afflictions, Dead Woman's Hollow, The Long Island Serial Killer, The Ghouligans, Devil Knows His Own, Coyote, and others being discussed at this very moment. Will yours be next?

Axolotl Film Festival of Mexico City with Cactus Films invite Mexican and international filmmakers residing in and outside the country to participate in its second edition to be be held from the 9th to the 13th of November, 2016 in the windows of different shops on the main streets of the Historical Center of Mexico City.
The shop windows are natural screens, generally disregarded, ready to present and recreate our lives and experiences in Mexico City. Commercial establishments are no longer meeting places for citizens and, conversely, are spaces that separate us. We believe that cinema can generate and promote a sense of community among the residents and the visitors of the city.
All participating short film and video need to reference, in their subject matter, characters, settings and/ or storyline, to Mexico City. The short films could have been produced in Mexico City, in other states or abroad.
A-TAR: International Festival of Film Schools is now accepting submissions from all colleges, universities and film institutes. It will screen shorts and feature films produced by film students and faculty.
A-TAR will take place from September 23 rd to September 27 th, 2019 in the city of Mexicali, Mexico.
Ars Independent Festival 2019 will be the 9th multimedia festival of film, animation, video games and music videos. The upcoming edition will take place in Katowice, between the 24th and 29th of September 2019.
The festival is searching for what’s cool in young, debuting, contemporary audio-visual culture. It’s not afraid to watch videos with 27 views on YouTube, it’s missing the “least popular” sorting option on itch.io and considers Festival Scope Pro decidedly “too mainstream”.
The heart of the festival are four international competitions, in which the audience decides about the awarding of prizes. The Black Horse of Film (feature films from all over the world) and the Black Horse of Animation (short features) present the cinematographic debuts by directors from the entire world, often as their Polish premieres. The Black Horse of Video Games and the Black Horse of Music Video are devoted to new games and music videos.
Additionally, every year festivalgoers are treated to: screenings of films, animations and music videos, video game exhibitions, virtual reality and new technologies, discussion panels and Q&As with artists, concerts, live acts and musical afterparties.
In previous years, the festival hosted a variety of artists from all over the world, including Béla Tarr, Nina Menkes, Phil Mulloy, Laila Pakalnina, Bruce LaBruce, Tami Tamaki, Stephen „M.O.O.N.” Gilarde, Jakuba Dvorský, Mariola Brillowska, Piotr Dumała, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Bodo Kox, Łukasz Barczyk, Sos Sosowski, Wiktor Stribog and Władysław Komendarek.
The event is organized by the culture institution Katowice the City of Gardens and the City of Katowice.
To participate in the first edition of "Cefalu Film Festival Pino Scicluna» must register by April 25, 2015 using the special form that is on the page of the competition and also published in the electronic journal 'Cefalunews. "Participation in the competition is free. Each participant will have to get your movie to the secretariat of the "Cefalu Film Festival Pino Scicolone" in digital format, for the projection to the public, by May 31, 2015.

We screen the best documentaries from around the world at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendared runs at the Roxie later in the year. We get great press coverage in San Francisco, the second largest film market in the country, plus industry reviews.
San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our fest has built a passionate following over the past 24 years.
LAST YEAR'S PRESS COVERAGE: https://sfindie.com/press-coverage
SF DocFest is an annual festival devoted to documentary cinema. Since 2001, this event has brought the most weird and wonderful aspects of real life to the big screen.
"What makes the scrappy San Francisco Documentary Film Festival a treasure to SF Bay Area filmgoers is its willingness to take that extra step to show films a little more out there than bog standard documentaries." - Peter Wong, Broke Ass Stuart
“Docfest offers a zippy blend of politics, music, social issues and youth-oriented subcultures. The good news is that DocFest promotes documentaries as a vibrant, irreverent form of entertainment to a younger demographic, blasting the notion of educational films to smithereens. There’s no room for anything approximating — watch it, I’m about to blaspheme – the obsessively measured and utterly somnambulant musings of Ken Burns.” – Michael Fox, KQED
“Since its inception, DocFest (May 31-June 15 at the Roxie and the Vogue, with opening night at Alamo Drafthouse) has compiled a colorful scrapbook of genuine characters in contrast to the current events survey, educational seminar or social-issue forum that defines many documentary series… There are one or two people in Off the Charts you won’t soon forget, which could be said about nearly every film in DocFest. That’s one of the pleasures of scrapbooks.” – also Michael Fox, KQED
Michael Fox just loves DocFest, here's another:
"Welcome to SF DocFest, the beloved annual compendium of odd, unusual nonfiction films from every nook and corner of our bizarro country and beyond. Waving off the pedigreed, high-profile docs that premiere at Sundance, get theatrical releases (or these days, national virtual releases) and chart a course for the Academy Awards, SF DocFest’s programmers opt for poignant, intimate works that miss the mainstream by dint of their iconoclasm and/or lack of a marketing hook." -KQED
"This week brings the kickoff to the 20th edition of SF Docfest, the rapidly-becoming-venerable nonfiction showcase that nonetheless continues to put the fun in documentary cinema appreciation. While other such showcases tend to be soberly issue-themed, focusing on the environment, activism, or some such, Docfest pursues—though not exclusively—colorful human interest stories, musician profiles, and other subjects on which there will not be a class quiz afterward." - Dennis Harvey, 48Hills
우리는 단호하게 독립적 인 사회 영화를 촉진하는 축제입니다, 사람들의 이야기를 그 영화, 장소, 인류의 대부분에 공통적 인 조건과 상황. 즉, 살과 피의 이야기, 민감하고 진실한 이야기.
반면에, 우리는 영화가 세계에서 사회적, 문화적 변화의 가장 중요한 도구라고 확신합니다. 축제는 대상 고객과의 역동적 인 상호 작용 인 대체 미디어와 전시회의 창입니다. 깊은 인식의 수준에 도달하기 위해그 관중을 위해.
그러므로 우리는 영화 제작자, 공식적이고 정직한 방법으로 자신을 소개하고 싶습니다. 다른 방식으로 현실을 보고 해석하고 형성하는 사람들과 우리 지역의 주민 사이의 다리로 간주되는 척합니다. 콜롬비아에 위치한 지역은 긴급히 사회적 및 사회적삶의 내면의 평화와 급진적 변화를 달성하기 위해 예술을 통한 문화적 희망.
The Hyperdrive Film Festival is a fantastic, fun film festival where visitors can get up close and personal with some of the greatest up-and-comers from the world of Sci-Fi and Fantasy film. The festival will run on the 3rd and 4th October 2015 with filmmakers from across the country coming to show-off their latest productions, answer your questions and, all the while, raise a great big pile of money for a fantastic cause.
The charity that will benefit from The Hyperdrive Film Festival will be the Smile Train (Registered charity number: 057389620, smiletrain.org.uk) who provide thousands of free, often life-saving, cleft lip and/or palate surgeries each year to children in developing countries. For every £150 we raise for Smile Train, another child will receive a cleft surgery that can save their lives and gives them the chance at a normal life, with a smile
We will be hosting the festival at the Hailsham Pavilion (Registered charity number: 1062538, pavilionhailsham.co.uk), a beautifully refurbished Edwardian theatre/cinema. Part of the money raised will go to renting the cinema for the two days of the festival.
The programme for The Hyperdrive Film Festival will be:
Saturday 13:00 to 18:00
Saturday 18:30 to 23:30
Sunday 13:00 to 18:00
Sunday 18:30 to 23:30
Each session will consist of one or two feature length movies (running time dependent) and a selection of short films ranging in length from 3 minutes to 20 minutes.

4th INTERNATIONAL CHANGING PERSPECTIVES SHORT FILM FESTIVAL REGULATIONS
ABOUT FESTIVAL
Initiated by Katadrom Arts and Culture and Social Politics Association based in Istanbul- ‘The 4th International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival’ will be held between the dates of 6th - 8th of May 2016 in Istanbul, to then continue its yearly tour across other cities: Berlin, Yogyakarta, and other cities around the world.
The Festival will screen about 100 short features, short documentaries, short animations etc. of young filmmakers, students and teams who express different perspectives, concepts and imaginations about border.
Festival Date: 6 - 8 May 2015, Istanbul
Deadline for the submission of the films: 28th of March 2016
The topic of 2016 - “Border”
This year, the main topic of the festival will be “Border”. There will be a festival section about 15 films, a photography exhibition and a panel discussion focusing on the main topic.
There are so many different borders: physical borders, geographical borders, social borders, mental borders, political borders, sexual borders, religious borders, imaginary borders – to name just a few.
To be born or to live on one side or the other of a border is often random.
However, it’s not so easy to let go of the constrictions borders create, as our identities are often shaped upon a deep conviction of belonging to one, unique place, country, religion or gender. During the festival we want to explore the different aspects of border providing a platform for all the diverse perspectives on the topic. Besides 2016 thematic-focused program, the festival will also screen films under its traditional sections: Exchange Experience, Cultural Insights, Ridicule, Umbrella.

FARO 1540 - 파루 환경 및 문화 유산 보호 및 홍보 협회는 파로의 국제 단편 영화제인 FARCUME의 마지막 에디션의 성공에 이어 2025년 9월 26일부터 28일까지 파로에서 열리는 이 페스티벌의 11번째 에디션을 조직합니다.
FARCUME의 15번째 에디션은 최대 18분 길이의 단편 영화 섹션에서 애니메이션, 다큐멘터리 및 소설의 세 가지 범주로 나누어 작품을 전시하고 홍보할 계획입니다.
이 축제는 사전 선정에 따라 규정의 규정을 준수하고 등록 양식을 작성하고 2025 년 7 월 11 일까지 작품을 조직에 보내면 모든 국내 및 외국 시민이 개인 또는 그룹으로 참여할 수 있습니다.
이 페스티벌의 주된 목적은 동일합니다. 새로운 재능을 알리고 출시하며, 이 분야에서 이루어지지만 항상 바람직하고 가치있는 홍보를 받지는 못하는 우수한 작품을 대중에게 홍보하는 것입니다.
다시 말해, FARCUME는 비공식적인 환경, 좋은 분위기, 편안한 분위기 속에서 적당한 수단으로도 훌륭한 품질의 작품을 개발할 수 있는 감독, 배우 및 기술 팀의 헌신, 헌신, 창의성 및 공로를 보상하고 인정하고자 합니다.
NGO (비정부 환경 기구) 의 지위까지 지닌 “FARO 1540"의 원칙과 목표를 감안하여, 페스티벌은 앞으로도 환경에 대한 경멸, 인권 불평등 또는 동물 학대를 주장하거나 장려하는 단편 영화를 선보이지 않도록 참가자들에게 경고하는 강력한 환경 주의와 민감성을 유지할 것입니다. 이 행사를 홍보하고 달성하는 데 필요한 자원의 최적화와 생성된 폐기물의 관리를 보장하기 위해 이 행사를 위해 특별히 “설계”된 환경 관리 계획을 추가로 개발할 것입니다.
