Das Internationale Dokumentarfilmfestival von Santiago (FIDOCS) ist die wichtigste Rundfunk-, Verbreitungs- und Wettbewerbsveranstaltung für Dokumentarfilm in Chile und Lateinamerika.
FIDOCS konzentriert sich auf die Förderung des Dialogs und der Reflexion sowie auf die Schulung des Publikums in Bezug auf die Wertschätzung des Dokumentarfilms in einem Kontext permanenten Wandels und versucht, die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der Dokumentarfilmerstellung sowie die Verschiebungen, die Sachbüchern eigen sind, zu erkunden. FIDOCS bezieht in sein Programm die Werke sowohl erfahrener als auch aufstrebender Regisseure ein, um die Frage nach „THE REAL“ zu beantworten, und berücksichtigt dabei die verschiedenen Dimensionen, disziplinären Grenzen und Spannungen, die die Frage „Was ist real?“ , wie auch das Dokumentarfilm-Genre selbst, uns zu bieten hat.

Im Laufe seiner Geschichte hat sich FIDOCS als eines der angesehensten Dokumentarfilmfestivals in Lateinamerika positioniert und ist eine bevorzugte Plattform, um zeitgenössisches Kino zu zeigen und kritisches Denken zu fördern. Jahr für Jahr ruft FIDOCS im Rahmen seines selektiven kuratorischen Ansatzes nicht nur wichtige Vertreter des nationalen und internationalen audiovisuellen Sektors auf, ihre Arbeiten in Santiago auszustellen, sondern ruft auch, indem sie diese Stadt als Filmzentrum nutzt, solche Vertreter auf, den Status der zeitgenössischen Dokumentarfilmpraxis heute zu hinterfragen, zu interpretieren und neu zu schreiben.

Für die Förderung, Positionierung und Ausstellung chilenischer und internationaler Filme veranstaltet FIDOCS drei Hauptwettbewerbe. Zu diesen Bereichen gehören: INTERNATIONALER WETTBEWERB, CHILENISCHER WETTBEWERB und AUFSTREBENDER KURZWETTBEWERB FÜR NATIONALE FILME.

Darüber hinaus übt FIDOCS die wichtigste Branchenaktivität, DOCS IN PROGRESS, für lateinamerikanische Werke aus, bei denen die Jury (Redakteure, Regisseure, Sounddesigner, Produzenten, Programmierer) nicht nur einen Gewinner auswählt, sondern auch die Filmemacher mit der Postproduktion ihrer Filme versorgt und deren Verbreitung und Übertragung fördert. Dieser Bereich wird gemeinsam mit der WIP-Sektion von CHILEDOC CONECTA betrieben.

Das Festival bietet auch wichtige Aus- und Weiterbildungsaktivitäten im Rahmen seiner FIDOCS SCHOOL, an der Studenten von Film- und Kommunikationsschulen aus ganz Chile teilnehmen, sodass die herausragendsten Studenten in einem generationenübergreifenden und interdisziplinären Raum mit internationalen und nationalen Festivalgästen zusammenkommen und unter anderem Meisterkurse, Workshops und Dialoge besuchen.

Gemäß ihrer interdisziplinären Ausrichtung beabsichtigt FIDOCS außerdem, ihre Vorführungen anderer künstlerischer Interventionen wie Installationen, Ausstellungen und Performances zu begleiten, die von ihrer eigenen Ausdrucksweise her einen Dialog mit dem dokumentarischen Konzept bedeuten. So entsteht die Sektion FIDOCS EXPANDED, in der verschiedene Künstler, Videokünstler und Filmemacher, die alle mit den Bereichen Sound oder Bild zu tun haben, ihre Arbeiten ausstellen.
Schließlich werden die ausgewählten Filme nach Abschluss des Festivals in verschiedenen Regionen Chiles und im Ausland in der Sektion BEST OF FIDOCS gezeigt. Ziel ist die kulturelle Ausweitung des Festivals auf territorialer Ebene, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Verbreitung der Filme auf regionaler Ebene liegt und Repliken sowohl im Inland als auch im Ausland programmiert werden können.

*FIDOCS wird mit Theatervorführungen abgehalten.

AS FILM FESTIVAL (AsFF) is the first international film and visual art festival managed by people with Asperger Syndrome. It was born as a follow-up of a wider program, started up by Not Equal Association in 2008, and based on the idea of using cinema as a tool for social inclusion. AsFF is unique because it is not a festival about autism, but a film festival made by people with autism. For this reason (this is our claim) “it is equal to the others festivals, but different”.

AS FILM FESTIVAL (AsFF) è il primo festival di cinema ed arti visive realizzato con la partecipazione attiva di persone che si riconoscono nella condizione autistica. Nato come follow-up di un programma in più fasi avviato dall'associazione Not Equal a partire dal 2008 e fondato sull'uso del cinema come strumento di aggregazione ed inclusione sociale, AsFF è un progetto unico nel suo genere: non un festival sull'autismo, ma un festival di cinema vero e proprio, fatto anche da persone autistiche. Ecco perchè, come recita il claim, è un festival uguale agli altri, però diverso.

Royal Holloway University of London is proud to announce its third official Film Festival!

SiembraFest is a biennial and itinerant Colombian film festival that tours different municipalities in the department of Cundinamarca, facilitating the circulation and appropriation of national film productions, while providing tools for rural communities to actively participate in the construction of their own image.

Through its actions it generates emotional experiences that transform the public. The Festival de Cine Colombiano al Campo is a high-impact initiative that contributes to the generation of alternative exhibition scenarios and the development of new audiences in rural areas of the country, intervening in community spaces that promote the encounter of cinema with art and popular culture.

As part of our effort to contribute to the growth and consolidation of the creative industries, training activities will be held on topics of interest, promoting the meeting of the audiovisual and film sector in the regions.

The Festival de Cine Colombiano al Campo is a space for the promotion, diffusion and support of cinematographic works of national production. Any audiovisual work that represents the natural, social and cultural values of rural communities in Colombia is a film with the particular seal of SiembraFest. Works that address the traditions, practices, popular knowledge, manifestations of daily life or problems that affect rural communities in Colombia, through fiction, documentary and animation, may be submitted.

We value the creative freedom of national filmmakers and filmmakers, which is why our selection will include films of any format, length, genre or technique, as long as they are productions of quality, relevance and cinematographic pertinence. The viewing and deliberation of the films will be in charge of the Programming Committee, constituted by a group of cinephiles, experts in cinematography and subjects related to rurality who share criteria with the artistic direction of SiembraFest.

ONLY FOR COLOMBIAN FILMMAKERS

Purpose of the Festival

FICAE - Diseases International Short Film and Art Festival opens the 4th edition of the Festival (4FICAE). It is open to all creators of audiovisual content that want to show their short films in all type of cinematographic genres whose main theme is directly related to some type of disease or health issues.

The purpose of this festival is to promote social awareness about diseases as a process of life in order to help destigmatize them. In addition, the festival seeks to promote artistic creation through audiovisual language to make it more visible and transmit knowledge about diseases, both those that involve changes to the health state, and those that are considered as social diseases and their consequences.

Nišville Foundation organizer of famous Nišville Jazz Festival which was rated as one of best jazz festivals in a world according to British magazine The Guardian. Last 8 years within the festival was Nišville Movie stage that becomes Nišville Movie Summit this year.

Nišville Movie Summit wants to bring together filmmakers of short and long movies to present them on a summit. Through this summit, we want to fuse jazz music and movies.

Competition: 8 will include feature films, 12 documentaries, 16 feature films and 20 silent films.

Feature films and silent films will be limited to thirty minutes duration, while the documentaries will be shown regardless of the playing time. The criteria will be linked on the one hand the aesthetic level of these films, and on the other - their authentic connections with jazz music.

Silent films with musical accompaniment pianist: Films that have been produced by Academy students accompanied by pianists and other musicians (movies will be obtained through the academies and art faculties). Authors can submit scores or to pianists, following action film Music improvise on the spot. These films should encourage creativity among students who produce movies about existence, and with the musicians who have an obligation to music "follow" developments on the canvas. The compound of creativity in both art, creating new kind creation.

In an exhibition part of Nišville Movie Summit will present a selection of some, a wider range of viewers, known movies (Django, La La Land, Bird, Mo Better Blues, Round Midnight, Born to be Blue, Miles Away, Artist ...) who meet the criteria for participation in the festival. As in any major film festivals, there is a possibility that some of these films are shown in the official program, but it does not compete for festival awards, because the idea of the festival "Movie Nišville Summit" is to find a new author values in domestic and world cinema when comes to the permeation of the film and jazz. Films that have received significant international awards are to be presented at the festival, but two awards at the festival, in this respect, would not bring anything significantly new
