ACME Comedy Theatre was founded in 1989 as a place for comedians to perform and be discovered. Since then, ACME has helped launch the career of hundreds of comedy writers, directors, producers, and actors.
Today, ACME continues to be a place for comedy performers and writers to be discovered. These days though, new talent is more often discovered through online videos, so ACME developed a new screening series. The screening series is dedicated to bringing the upcoming stars of comedy video to the big screen via ACME Comedy’s own film festival.
In the Summer of 2017 we will be screening films in June, July, August
We are excited to bring a whole new class of comedic talent to the ACME Comedy Theater.

THE NEXT EDITION OF THE MADEIRA FILM FESTIVAL WILL BE MARCH 27 - APRIL 1 2020.
We continue to accept submissions but please not your film will be submitted to the 2020 edition NOT 2019. This is due to Government elections on Madeira.
Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
The entry fee is 30 / 40 / 50 Euros depending upon submissions date and irrespective of genre and running time. Exhibiting filmmakers will be offered 3 nights accommodation including breakfast on Madeira during the festival.
Call for entries
The call for entries starts on August 16th 2018 and will remain open until April 2nd 2019.
The Madeira Film Festival is non – competitive. Rather than present awards MFF offers delegates the status of ‘AMBASSADOR OF THE LAURISSILVA’ thus helping to preserve and create awareness of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva forest.
The Madeira Film Festival organisation fervently believes there is no better place in the world to stage a film festival than on the piquant Island of Madeira and there is no better place on Madeira to stage a film festival than in glorious Reid’s Palace Hotel and the Municipal Theatre in Funchal.
The crux of the Madeira Film Festival is to pay homage to the resilience of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva Forest by screening a slate of films which are expansive, unsettling and profound,films which will hopefully impinge upon the viewers imagination.
One of the most effective measures that can be implemented in order to raise awareness of the Laurissilva forest and subsequently it’s preservation is through the undisputed persuasive strength of audio- visual communication. The aspiration of the Madeira Film Festival is to become one of Europe’s foremost film festivals, by sheer virtue of location there exists an inherent capacity to attain this.

CATACUMBA UNDERD FILM FESTIVAL est un projet culturel, artisanal et résistant qui, depuis l'an 2000, est développé dans la municipalité valencienne de Godella et qui utilise comme épine dorsale la projection d'œuvres audiovisuelles récentes qui coexistent lors de la célébration de ce festival particulier.
Dans sa 17e édition, le festival vise à recueillir des propositions cinématographiques indépendantes qui offrent une perspective alternative créée à partir de la transversalité que permet le langage filmique. Œuvres qui, d'une manière ou d'une autre, renversent la morale, démantelent les répressions, nos Philias et phobies et qui témoignent des défauts structurels de la société dans laquelle nous vivons. En marge de l'industrie du divertissement, nous trouverons des propositions qui peuvent nous conduire vers différents modèles d'expression qui permettent au cinéma narratif de revenir à la catégorie expressive qu'il cherche à susciter la réflexion. Peut-être si c'est étrange, c'est parce qu'il reste caché de la perception et des sens.
Nous comprenons que la production cinématographique vit un processus créatif qui améliore la fusion entre les genres, attisant l'originalité et la diversité du médium, nous attribuons à toutes ces possibilités. De CATACUMBA nous voulons refléter cette réalité créative, donnant de l'espace à un plus grand nombre d'œuvres, parfois inclassables, mais qui agissent comme des miroirs de l'étrange réalité que nous vivons.
Dans le court métrage et le long métrage, vous aurez la possibilité de ressentir toutes les peurs, rêves, philias et phobies que nos réalisateurs ont l'intention de transmettre. Vous connaîtrez des genres jadis méprisés et sous-évalués, mais qui ont eu des titres transcendantaux dans l'histoire du cinéma et qui sont devenus d'authentiques référents de la filmographie universelle. Reflétant le cinéma de notre réalité sociale, le cinéma qui nous convainc plus chaque jour que la réalité surpassera toujours la fiction.
