Bienvenue dans le film Radical Frame - Série de courts métrages 2026 - Berlin
Au Radical Frame Film Festival, nous sommes fiers d'annoncer la douzième édition de la série de courts métrages.

L'idée du Radical Frame Film Festival est née il y a des années lorsqu'un groupe d'activistes, d'artistes et d'amis de Denver a décidé de diffuser les messages du cinéma vidéo-activiste auprès du public.

Nous pensons qu'en raison du climat social et politique actuel, à la fois local et mondial, notre mission, qui consiste à fournir un forum pour des films et des débats stimulants, est plus essentielle que jamais.

Nous nous engageons à présenter des films progressistes, gauchistes, radicaux, antiracistes, expérimentaux et visionnaires qui abordent des questions telles que, mais sans s'y limiter, l'environnement, les droits de l'homme, l'injustice sociale, l'antimondialisation, etc.

Le Radical Frame Film Festival présente tous les genres de films indépendants du monde entier lors de cette incroyable célébration bicontinentale des artistes indépendants.

Le Radical Frame Film Festival est un forum où les cinéastes peuvent s'épanouir en dehors de l'arène traditionnelle.

La série de courts métrages met en lumière des courts métrages véritablement indépendants, créés par des cinéastes débutants ou confirmés. L'objectif est de permettre à chacun, quel que soit son pays, de réaliser ses rêves et de commencer à prendre les mesures nécessaires pour vivre sa vie avec passion et détermination.

Le Film Tracks Film Fest veut être un point de rencontre entre les amateurs de langage cinématographique, proposer des œuvres de qualité.

Un prix spécial sera décerné à un court métrage sur la Méditerranée.

Nous aimons le cinéma et la façon dont nous voulons le diffuser.

SR films are of socially relevant content and concentrate on character-driven situations and good storytelling instead of relying on gratuitous violence, crime, and so-called selling points for box office success.

SR Film Festival New York and its Industry Panels focus on Socially Relevant film content and nurture filmmakers who develop human interest stories with Socially Relevant themes.​

SR is a festival and film development lab that aims to satisfy a market need concentrating on everyday positive human stories while offering a financially viable alternative to the proliferation of violence & crime in today’s movie industry.

The festival and industry panels event provides filmmakers & festival attendees with the best of both worlds: finished films and projects/scripts in development.

L’associazione culturale La Guarimba ha come obiettivo quello di riportare il cinema alla gente e la gente al cinema. Questa motivazione ci ha portato a riparare un vecchio cinema all’aperto di 938 posti in Calabria; ad organizzare un festival del cortometraggio internazionale con ingresso libero; a creare La Scuola Delle Scimmie in Puglia, un processo di formazione di cinema e di illustrazione indipendente per 45 ragazzi; ci ha fatto creare La Guarimba On Tour dove ogni anno portiamo la nostra selezione di cortometraggi in giro per il mondo; e infine, ad agosto 2015, abbiamo organizzato la prima conferenza europea di Vimeo, il più grande distributore di cinema online diretto.

About the Festival

“Animax Skopje Fest” is the first animated film festival in Macedonia. We regard it as a unique opportunity to present local Macedonian creative potential in their home country; the audience will get a clear picture of what is currently in Macedonia created in this field. The festival is by nature competitive and is open to animators from around the world. The main reason why we decided to organize an international festival of animated film in the Republic of Macedonia, is the desire and need for this animated film to get a wide door in Macedonia.

Profile and Mission

The festival is the right address for anyone interested in animation as a way of communication, as a way of expanding horizons, as an effort to support a cultural form and spend leisure time in creative and constructive way, as part of a global trend of creative industries in Europe and the world. “Animax Skopje Fest” is organized by the production company “Auripigment”, in collaboration with the Association of Citizens Creative Center “Tintiri - Mintiri” of Skopje, Macedonia, with the support of Ministry of Culture of Republic of Macedonia. The main mission of “Animax Skopje Fest” is:
Promotion of animation in Macedonia;
Increasing the awareness for animation in Macedonia as a part of important cultural (creative) industries;
Contacting and communication between artists in Macedonia and abroad;
Promotion of dialog between filmmakers, designers, animators, artists, producers and viewers;
Organizing seminars, forums, workshops.

Who We Are

Production company “Auripigment” is working about 15 years in the field of audio - visual arts in the Republic of Macedonia, producing feature films, TV series, feature series, documentaries and entertainment programs intended for the widest audience. Most of the projects are characterized as projects of national interest to universal values. In this list of projects is included one of the latest projects of the production company, the first Macedonian international festival of animated films “Animax Skopje Fest”. Currently the production company “Auripigment” has produced documentary “Hristo Uzunov”, while in pre - production and production are five projects including a feature film. Festival “Animax Skopje Fest” aims to unite and encourage all animators in the Republic of Macedonia and to facilitate verification and presentation worthy of their creative potential and product. “Auripigment” production team knows quality and potency of Macedonian authors and therefore deemed it necessary to put the festival in the service of the promoter and ‘exporter’ of aesthetic founded animated audio - visual works arising from Macedonia. In fact, this festival aims to raise and build culture in terms of making animated films for adults and children who present different aspects of everyday life. The authors of these films from around the world participate in this festival by sending their animated films. Animax Skopje Fest is held in November each year. The last night of the festival, most successful animated films are awarded with prizes, which have undergone previous round of competition and are being elected as awarded by the jury - the commission. On the other hand, our team closely monitors developments in the field of world animation and also as past years, this year and in future plans to carry the best of the world in Macedonia. This is illustrated by the previous two editions of the festival, in which were reported over 400 high quality animated films from more than 35 countries worldwide. While this year's edition reported more than 200 animated works from more than 40 countries from all around the world, which this time, also, will compete for the main prize “Golden Brick”.

The Cardiff Independent Film Festival will be held over the 5th to 7th May 2017 in Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff. This will be our third festival, following highly successful events beginning in 2014. We're a fun, friendly and open festival run by film-lovers that celebrates the best in independent cinema and adheres to the highest ethical standards.

We're non-profit, which means ALL of the submission fees go into the running of the festival. And we are truly independent - we don't take public or corporate money so the films we pick are our favourites.
