Negli ultimi decenni, e contemporaneamente all'emergere di nuove tecnologie che hanno finito per scansionare la maggior parte dei processi del film, il documentario ha conosciuto una crescita notoria e sistematica in tutto il mondo. Nel nostro paese, e da più di un decennio, una produzione che prima era legata quasi esclusivamente alla fiction si è arricchita di nuovi argomenti, nuovi approcci, nuove geografie, nuovi dilemmi.
È in questo contesto che FIDBA viene proposta come prima. Festival internazionale del cinema dedicato a questo genere, in cui i film con gli stessi fan - purché riteniamo che le forme e le modalità del film documentario siano diverse da quelle della fiction - possono incontrarsi e dialogare tra loro e con il pubblico. Se il documentario è un punto d'incontro per la FIDBA, lo è nella misura in cui propone un'interpellanza alle memorie poco conosciute, inquietanti presenti e (nostro) futuro sospesi. FIDBA sarà quindi un approccio non solo tra pubblico, registi e pensatori legato al documentario, ma anche in relazione alle possibilità sempre stimolanti che consentono di aprire questo spazio ad altre espressioni di confine ed eterodosse incorniciate all'interno di ciò che chiameremmo «saggistica» e che ci incoraggiano a dialogare con espressioni contemporanee che vanno oltre lo scopo del film.
La FIDBA presterà particolare attenzione a quei registi per i quali il cinema è legato a una forma di ricerca e conoscenza del mondo che ci circonda per quanto riguarda il ritratto di esseri umani le cui condizioni di vita, in determinati contesti storici e sociali, ti permettono di chiederci informazioni sul nostro. Sono quindi autori che non solo riflettono la realtà, ma anche il rapporto etico e morale che implica filmare l'altro.
FIDBA mira a diventare un punto di supporto per i registi che cercano di ampliare la percezione della realtà e per i film che rappresentano un passo avanti nello sforzo di comprenderla e anticiparla. Quindi, si concentrerà su film la cui originalità estetica mette a rischio non solo un'idea del documentario, ma anche un pensiero sullo stesso film e sulle sue possibilità. Poiché questa attenzione implica mettere in discussione lo status del fronte reale della macchina da presa o del film rispetto alla realtà, ciò è altrettanto inseparabile dalle mediazioni che ne derivano.
La mostra internazionale di cortometraggi Video/Jujuy/Cortos è uno spazio di proiezione audiovisiva NON competitivo, senza fini di lucro, aperto e gratuito organizzato annualmente da Wayruro Comunicación Popular.
L'obiettivo del Festival è promuovere la produzione e la diffusione di audiovisivi come mezzo di espressione e comunicazione.
Questo spazio artistico/culturale gratuito è nato nel 2002. Fin dai suoi inizi, il festival ha stabilito relazioni con scuole, organizzazioni sociali, di quartiere, per i diritti umani e artistiche, i centri di attività giovanili e le organizzazioni delle popolazioni native, cercando di essere permeabile alle esigenze e alle richieste del mezzo, sia in termini di temi che di genere, dando vita a un programma variegato che spazia dal video sociale all'animazione, compresa la fiction e gli audiovisivi sperimentali.
Come spazio e luogo di riflessione e punto di incontro per i creatori, rinomati professionisti organizzano workshop e conferenze, cercando di fornire informazioni e formazione, gratuitamente, agli interessati. Quest'anno, la mostra concentra questo spazio sulla riflessione sulla situazione audiovisiva, sul lavoro e sul pensiero in rete e sul consolidamento della produzione audiovisiva comunitaria e popolare.
The 30 Dies Festival is a tiny festival located in a tiny country between France and Spain which focuses on the fantastic film genre. On 2014 we had our first edition with 14 films screened during November in two venues. Our festival covers any film with fantastic elements within the genre of thriller / horror / action / creature / documentary / sci fi - films. At this year’s edition we have two categories: Feature Films and Short films (Under 20 minutes).
The 30 Dies Festival loves indie films and, for this reason, we accept films recorded in every format and with any kind of budget, but be sure that your film fits into our festival.
Feedback: The one element most festivals ignore.
Instead of paying submission fees and getting nothing in return, EVERYONE who submits to DOFIFF.COM will receive EITHER ONE OF TWO benefits: Either 1): your film is already competition calibre, and becomes an Official Selection, OR 2): you’ll receive a letter outlining exactly what is keeping it from being accepted. If you can make corrections, you resubmit for FREE.
First-time filmmakers: when have you ever received a letter and had the festival explain "WHY" you weren't selected? See why filmmakers thank us and say “Best Festival Ever!”
-Guaranteed distributor review by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation (WWMPC.COM), Adler & Associates, and Polaris Pictures (for Screenplays) among others, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU, for our select few ‘Best Of’ and "Award of Excellence" winners based on sufficient qualified entries. For this free service, DOFIFF requires NO CONTRACTS to be signed.
-The chance to thereby be included in one of that distributor’s buyers’ packets on the world film market
-A festival that is run as a web-based competition, instead of a traditional film festival: 100% of our effort and investment goes into finding a market for you, not into renting theatres unless it is dictated by the distributors to further test the market.
-All "Best Of Show" and "Award Of Outstanding Excellence" may have their trailers shown on WRPN.TV entertainment news next to Hollywood celebrity interviews (optional)
-Any film that is rejected will receive a personal letter explaining what elements caused the rejection (unlike other fests who never give any explanation at all). HINT: majority of rejections or low award levels, are due to insufficient volume on dialogue soundtracks.
-Any film that is accepted, but fails to move on to award status, will be given a free synopsis of the judges notes, at the filmmakers request, for free
-FREE Earlybird entry of any rejected film, into DOFIFF’s next competition, upon completion of the suggested corrections outlined in your rejection letter

“Horror” and “Sci-Fi” have been separated into two distinct categories
-Finally, you can rest assured that our co-founder is a proud Committee Member for the Universal Film & Festival Organization (UFFO.ORG). The UFFO is a non-profit operating out of the U.K., which exists for "Promoting best business practices for film festivals.” This guarantees that your film will benefit from a fair and thorough judging process.

Depuis 2013, l’association « Les Alibis » organise le Film Noir Festival, un festival de films ayant pour thème le Film Noir. Il s’agit du premier et du seul festival en France ayant pour thème ce genre cinématographique.
Lors des premières éditions, le Film Noir Festival s’était donné comme objectif d’éclairer le public sur le courant cinématographique qu’est le Film Noir.
Durant 4 jours, ce sont plus de 30 films de jeunes réalisateurs, au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages soumise au regard du jury des professionnels, mais aussi de cinéastes plus confirmés par le biais de la rétrospective généraliste de longs métrages et des avant-premières nationales, qui ont été présentés à un large public éclectique et de tout âge.
En octobre 2013, le Film Noir Festival s’est associé à la Film Noir Foundation de San Francisco créée et présidée par Eddie Muller, spécialiste mondial du Film Noir et fondateur du festival Noir City à San Francisco, à qui elle a décerné son premier Prix d'honneur en décembre 2013.
Pour sa quatrième édition, qui se tiendra du 24 au 27 novembre 2016 au cinéma "Le Vincennes" (94), le Film Noir Festival poursuivra son éclairage sur le Film Noir en proposant de nouveau une programmation de films inédits ou rares au travers de la rétrospective de 10 longs métrages, des avant-premières en ouverture et en clôture du Festival, des hommages à des réalisateurs, des acteurs ou des compositeurs emblématiques du Film Noir mais également au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages.
Festival Inclús è un festival di produzioni audiovisive, sia documentarie che di finzione, incentrate sul tema delle disabilità fisiche e mentali. È un'iniziativa Associació Inclús e condotta da Fish Muvi.
L'obiettivo del Festival Inclús è dare visibilità alle opere audiovisive prodotte sul tema della disabilità con un punto di vista diverso. L'obiettivo è fornire una prospettiva più profonda della realtà delle disabilità, indipendentemente dal fatto che la produzione sia effettuata da entità direttamente coinvolte nel mondo della disabilità o da altre persone o gruppi.
Siamo anche un festival inclusivo, motivo per cui abbiamo due nuove sezioni: Inclus values, cinema per bambini e adolescenti su questioni sociali e Sing Language cinema, film in lingua dei segni.
Il Festival si terrà dal 10 al 16 dicembre 2025, in prossimità della Giornata internazionale della disabilità, il 3 dicembre. Il materiale audiovisivo dei finalisti verrà riprodotto durante questa giornata in base alle diverse categorie. Ci saranno premi per le migliori candidature. Inclús si concentra sulle produzioni audiovisive, ma ha anche altre attività e discipline artistiche e commerciali per dare visibilità a questo settore.
