Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken and with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents around 300 films coming from around 50 countries at different places in Paris. In Berlin the festival will be performed in the legendary cinema Babylon.
The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.
This year's show is a mixed cocktail with a strong stir from the flaming absinthe spoon. Again proving the world isn't flat, we are set to tour with one of our best shows to date. To provide you with a taste of what's what... We are proud to present Jonas Georgakakis' "Saga of Biorn" a ferociously funny animated Nordic tale divulging the absolute truth about how one might earn the right to enter Valhalla. Then there is Javier Mrad's "Techopolis," an absolutely amazing 12min stop motion piece resembling Fritz Lang's Metropolis black and white film. This is the only show where so many entertaining films like these take the spotlight and are given full theatrical effect.
Before the "Festival of Animation" it was difficult to see independent, experimental, and foreign animation. Spike and Mike embarks on yearly world-wide film hunting expeditions. They have signed-on animation from the National Film Board of Canada, Cal Arts, Sheridan, Royal College of Art, Annecy, and select studios active amongst the art-house scene that at one time did not have a public venue. This Festival has come to be known as one of the most anticipated touring events on the circuit.
Initially, Spike and Mike produced the "Classic Festival" and later both the "Classic" and "Sick and Twisted" simultaneously- but by the early 2000s, the "Classic Festival of Animation" was phased into hiatus by the Sick and Twisted Festival (mainly featuring shorts venturing into the non sequitur e.g. "Lloyd's Lunchbox"). "The Festival" (meaning the current show) premieres a new cavalcade of adventurous films annually. Spike & Mike's "New Generation Animation" noted as the latest genre in animation, without question is now premiering the most captivating film-set of thought provoking concepts, humor, story, and daring production design in animation.
In animation, it is important to have an accurate gauge on the pulsating shifts in pop culture. Spike and Mike's content has evolved with the changing tastes of our times. The shows in their entirety have toured globally in theaters, film festivals (such as Cannes, Sundance, Annecy), college campuses, and dynamic events such as the Vans Warped Tour, the Winter X Games, and with the nu-metal band Korn.

After a mini-hiatus, Short Com will be making it's return in 2019 in Edinburgh at the Cameo Cinema.
Short Com is a short comedy film festival that has grown from strength to strength from humble beginnings back in 2011, where it started in Manchester.
Short Com prides itself on the quality of its programme and the range of comedy stylings it has screened. The most emphatic thing we look for in a film is its content, its ability to make an audience laugh or smile. Short Com has screened films from BAFTA nominated films and multiple award winners to simple home made films that have warmed and vastly amused audiences.
Short Com has screened during the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, in London and for the first time in Bristol and finished its run and closed with its award ceremony at the Glasgow Short Film Festival. One of the largest short film festivals in the UK.
Why submit to Short Com? Short Com prides itself on the quality of its programme. There is a great deal of honour to selected filmmakers who make it to the annual best of screenings. Plus it will be taking place during the world's largest arts and culture festival. In the past we have been sponsored by Blackmagic Design, Final Draft and Festival Formula all donating fantastic prizes for winning films in our category awards section. We will be looking to work with new brands to continue this tradition and bring some excellent prizes.
To get an idea of what we have screened in the past, you cans see some of the previous years winners in the links below.

The Festival is a place for intercultural dialogue and dialectical comparison between different cinematographies as well as an opportunity to promote distribution of films that are unlikely to have access to commercial venues.

IndieFlicks is the UK's monthly film festival, supporting the best up and coming filmmakers from around the world. IndieFlicks is continuously growing, hosting simultaneous screenings in Manchester, London and Sheffield. We also host a repeat screening the following week in Liverpool.
"They only pick the best films for their screenings so it's not only a great festival to enter, but a great film night to attend. I've enjoyed every film i've seen so far.”
Chris Cronin, Director.
How our monthly festival works…
Our Monthly Festival is a showcase of Short films from around the world, screening 50 minutes of short film in the first half, followed by our selected Feature Short in the second. We also host a Q&A with filmmakers able to attend and talks with local creatives.
At each event, two films will be selected to win either one of our awards:
The People’s Choice Award
The Directors Choice Award
Films included in the first half are nominated for our 'The People's Choice Award’; This is evidently voted for our audiences on the night and votes are calculated collectively from all of our venues.
In the second half of the night we host our 'Feature Short', one film no longer than 50 minutes. This is our headliner for the event. This film is awarded, ‘The Directors Choice Award’, one that our Judging panel felt deserves recognition.
"Not only is IndieFlicks a brilliant opportunity to network within the Manchester filmmaking community, it offers insight into short filmmaking approaches worldwide."
Martyn Ellis, Sound Engineer, Noise Four
Notifications:
Filmmakers will be notified throughout the year. If successful, your film will be screened on the first Wednesday of a selected month.
Internationales Horrorfilmfestival mit Sitz in der Stadt Guanajuato, Mexiko. Alle Festivalaktivitäten sind gemeinnützig.
MOTTO
Was uns antreibt:
Ein Wettbewerb, der dem transzendentalen Kino in seinen verschiedenen Bedeutungen gewidmet ist, darunter philosophisches, psychologisches, wissenschaftliches, anthropologisches, spirituelles und poetisches Kino.
Weil Transzendenz im Menschen und in der Welt irgendwann unaussprechlich sein könnte, und in dieser Hinsicht hat die Filmkunst gewisse Vorteile und eine enorme Verantwortung.
KOSTENLOSES KINO
Alle filmischen Möglichkeiten sind willkommen, wobei ein großes Interesse an Raritäten besteht
OHNE ZEIT
Cinemística als offener Raum und Zeit ohne einschränkende Merkmale, der es den Autoren ermöglicht, ihre eigene Sprache zu entwickeln: alle Formate, Dauer, Nationalität, Produktionsjahr usw. werden akzeptiert.
EIN ZUFLUCHTSORT
Ein internationales Refugium für Filme, die technisch oder mit der Handlung eine Annäherung an das große Geheimnis der Weltrepräsentation, in der Kunst und im Menschen, beabsichtigen. Ohne Dogmen, aus jeder individuellen oder kollektiven Perspektive, aus dem Glauben, aber auch aus Agnostizismus, spirituellem Atheismus und wissenschaftlichem Denken.
EIN POETISCHES KINO DER KONTEMPLATION
Die Blicke der Filmemacher, die sich in all ihrer soziokulturellen Vielfalt für jeden Film interessieren, sind das Ergebnis persönlicher Entdeckungen, Recherchen oder Experimente, Inspiration und Arbeit, der Enthüllung oder Selbstbeobachtung der Autoren. Alltägliches, Ekstase und Disparität als Strukturen, die der filmischen Behandlung Tiefe verleihen.
ASKESE
Mystizismus und Askese in der Filmproduktion stellen im Vergleich zu anderen wahrscheinlich ein absoluter Status dar, weil ein Kino mit einem riesigen Budget und mehr technischer Komplexität realisiert werden könnte, aber manchmal ist der bescheidenste und einfachste Film jedoch universal.
DAS IMMER NOCH
Impermanente Kinematografien, vom Standbild bis zum Amateurkino (vom französischen Verb aimer), definieren Regisseure nicht nur danach, was sie zeigen und wie sie es auf der Leinwand machen, sondern auch danach, was sie nicht zeigen wollen.
PHÄNOMENOLOGIE
Was erscheint und was verschwindet, Topologien entstehen, Materialien oder Bewusstsein, und ihre Unsichtbarkeit oder ihr späteres Auslaufen. Die sequentielle Umgebung von Leere, Materie und Zeit. Shafts im Diskurs, eloquent, jeder kann ihn für sich selbst verstehen. Abwesenheit und Wunder: Mystik als mögliches Zusammenleben.
HERZLICHKEIT, KOMMUNIKATION UND KOLLOQUIEN
Große Bedeutung der Kolloquien und der Live-Interaktion zwischen Zuschauern und Filmemachern. Maximale Kommunikation, Respekt, Sympathie und Nähe zwischen der Organisation und den Filmemachern, Künstlern und Regisseuren, die kommen, um ihre Filme zu präsentieren.
Laughter :)
Laughter is the cure and the best means of combating the problems of life, it is also free and does not issue a prescription.
One of the greatest remedies that we have invented, and heal the world, entertaining it too.
Weed to entice and use laughter to achieve happiness and success in life.
Laughter is the art and skill of the world's most powerful habit.
Laughter is the exhaust valve of our soul, but it's a matter of us shell we use it.
It's reflects many virtues such as generosity, selflessness, optimism, altruism, hope, empathy, joy, serenity, happiness ...
These are just some of the thousands of words being sung in his honor, and that is why we, as FIFES's organisers, decided to provide the opportunity for all people of good will who want to express their creative soul, a very unique, funny, lighthearted way, through the art of film as a wonderful way of human expression.
Send us your work and thus force a smile on our faces.
We do not laugh because we're happy, but we are happy because we laugh
Who laughs the last, laughs too late ...
OFFSIDEFEST is a festival specialized in football film documentaries, and movies can be addressed from any point of view or approach to the beautiful game, whether sporting, social, ideological, biographical, anthropological, etc.
Seit 2013 bietet das International Human Rights Film Festival — Colombia dem Publikum ein audiovisuelles, kulturelles und akademisches Programm, das zur Publikumsentwicklung, zur Stärkung der Film- und Kulturindustrie, zur Schaffung von Räumen für den Dialog über das Leben, zur Versöhnung, zur Förderung und Verteidigung der Menschenrechte und zur Entwicklung von Ideen für den Frieden beiträgt.
Das Festival ist die ideale Plattform für die kolumbianische und die internationale Filmgemeinschaft, die sich dem Geschichtenerzählen mit einer menschenrechtlichen Perspektive verschrieben hat. Es dient als zentraler Ort für die Förderung, Verbreitung, Verteilung und Ausstellung audiovisueller Werke, deren kommerzielle Nachfrage aufgrund ihres sozialen und thematischen Schwerpunkts begrenzt ist.
Das Festival findet gleichzeitig in den Städten Barranquilla, Medellín, Cali, Bogotá, Manizales, Pereira und Quibdó sowie in etwa zwanzig Gemeinden im ganzen Land statt.
