Bold visions, adventurous ideas, skillfully crafted and artistically inspired projects are the kinds of films we are looking for.

Our unique film festival reaches new heights internationally for independent film festivals presenting our films in a way unlike any other film festival in the world via our online screening platform and theater system. Viewing interactively online allows independent filmmakers and fans to take pleasure in the films worldwide on the go, from work and from the comfort of their own homes. In the technologically advanced world we live in, where communication and convenience MUST be at the tips of our fingers, we knew this was the next progressive step in film festivals.

Since debuting our fest in 2010 we have gained even more recognition among the film viewing public and filmmakers, not to mention production houses and distributors, because they no longer have to travel to find the next film that will make Hollywood sit up and take notice. Currently, convenience is the name of the game, especially for the independent film industry.

The 2018 DCSF will host a live film festival event in the great City of Erie Pennsylvania that will screen the best and most innovative films of the 2018 season. Housed in the historic Renaissance Centre located in beautiful downtown Erie, the 2018 DCSF live Festival will run consecutively with the opening weekend of the Festival.

Our online festival is presented in a virtual theater setting that will allow users to watch the films while the films remain completely safe from download or reproduction.

Films in this festival cannot be downloaded, the films HAVE NO EMBEDDING CODE and the HTML codes of the films, if copied and pasted, the films will not play, therefore they CANNOT be placed on other websites. The only time and place they can be viewed is in our festival. In short, we have gone to great lengths to set this system up to protect the safety and security of each filmmaker’s film, always keeping the filmmaker in mind. Basically, it is just as secure as a brick and mortar theater screening, only much better.
We made the decision to screen films online because of two reasons, first we understand that filmmakers around the world pour not only all of their time and heart into their work but also most of their money. Because of financial and time constraints independent filmmakers most times find it difficult to attend the screenings of their film. Now not only can the filmmaker attend, but all of their friends and family members can as well. In addition, the number of attendees to the festival is literally limitless giving the filmmaker much more exposure for their work.

In addition, you hear so much about the environment and global warming it got us thinking. When you realize how much power is used during the film fest, electricity for the building, natural gas for heat and the gasoline the people use to get to the fest it left one hell of a carbon footprint. By doing the whole festival online it actually helps cut down on greenhouse gasses.

The DCSF recognizes Filmmakers for outstanding achievements in their craft through creativity and imagination, while always paving the way and opening doors for the very talented Filmmakers world-wide.

NOUVEAU - Veuillez lire attentivement sur ReaOn (ReaniMania Online Animation Film Festival).

Le Festival international du film d'animation Reanimania d'Erevan a été fondé par le dessinateur, peintre et animateur Vrej Kassouny en 2008.

L'histoire de l'animation en Arménie a commencé 70 ans auparavant, avec la sortie du premier film arménien, Le chien et le chat de Lev Atamanov (né Levon Atamanyan) en 1938.

En s'efforçant d'honorer l'art à la fois dans l'esprit et dans le nom, le Festival a depuis réintroduit l'art du cinéma d'animation au public arménien.

The aim is to dedicate a whole week to the cinema and the mountain, a combination of two passions which will create a unique and unmissable event.

Super! is the festival showing shorts made by teenagers, full of art, movies, workshops, courses and parties! Super started in 2013, out of the wish of some teenagers to have a space to screen their films and to meet other people who have the same passions as they do.

What makes Super SUPER, what makes it unique is that only teenagers can screen their films here, so it is all about in-born talent, about passion and not about sophisticated film schools or artificial technique. We don't have big budgets or high-tech equipment, but our shorts are immediate reactions to the world we live in, experiments in which other young people can find their own ideas and problems.

The festival encourages youth to make film- both beginners, who are encouraged through workshops, and teenagers who are already making films, through our screenings and awards.

Super has got to exist due to the lack of cinema-related education in schools, and thus youth needs the impulse to start shooting and making great films. Young people need to know they have a place where to screen their shorts.

60Seconds is a Copenhagen-based film festival projecting selected short films in the urban space since 2006, and transforming the streets into URBAN cinemas. The films must be about this years theme, just one minute long and with no sound or credits in it- we will ad the credits in the last editing.

“A Corto di Donne” supports the creativity of women, offering a place of confrontation to those filmmakers from all over the world who have chosen to express an original point of view on social issues and inner feelings of our time, by means of an innovative cinematographic language.

Only short films directed by women, and completed after January 1st 2014, can be submitted. Accepted genres are: Fiction, Documentary, Animation, Experimental. The maximum length allowed is 30 minutes.

The 4th COLOMBIAN QUEER FILM FESTIVAL is an annual non competitive LGBT film festival created by Fundación Cineteca Pública de Santander, to reward and celebrate each films of Colombian and international filmmakers, who make visible an aesthetic-political nature with discussions on gender, diversity of sexual orientation and identity along with films in commercial circuits and festivals, to generate intercultural encounters and consolidate organization processes and self-representation.
Gender doesn't define us. The sexuality-gender-body relationship surrounds us with inexhaustible questions and reflections. That’s why in this fourth edition we adopt the proposal to explore the different possibilities that this relationship offers in Cinema. #GENDERisOVER
