La quattordicesima versione del Festival ha come tema centrale «Il cinema comunitario come generatore di cambiamento e progresso sociale», la giuria dà la priorità ai contenuti che hanno questo focus, tuttavia la ricezione di pezzi audiovisivi non è limitata esclusivamente a tale tema, poiché altri tipi di contenuti saranno ampiamente accettati.
«Il cinema comunitario non è solo una forma d'arte, ma anche un potente strumento per promuovere i valori fondamentali di una società progressista, come l'uguaglianza di genere, la giustizia sociale e la partecipazione dei cittadini. Facilita il dibattito, la pluralità e la solidarietà e offre un mezzo di espressione per i diversi gruppi e identità che costituiscono il tessuto sociale, culturale e identitario della Colombia, a livello locale, regionale e nazionale. ¨
È per questo motivo che il Comuna 13 Film and Video Festival, The Other History nella sua versione 2024 ha deciso di generare spazi per il dialogo e lo scambio di conoscenze sul cinema comunitario, incoraggiando la partecipazione dei gruppi più importanti del paese in questa modalità al fine di condividere esperienze, metodologie e conoscenze con il settore accademico della nostra città (rete di creazione audiovisiva, media tecnici, scuole di pace tra gli altri)

The festival's mission has always been to enhance, promote and disseminate cinematographic, audiovisual and expressive forms of film reproduction, through Short Films and Video Clips as a form of visual and phonic expression, as an effective art, as a form of social and cultural communication, develop the potential of visual artistic language, respond to the needs of cultural growth of young people in a future environment strongly communicated with the visual arts, be amazed by creative skills, to give creatives, directors and filmmakers the right space for their talent in the greatest possible visibility.
La sesta edizione del CinemAvvenire Film Festival porta avanti e consolida la dimensione internazionale e spiccatamente europea dell’Associazione Centro Internazionale CinemAvvenire, un progetto condotto con determinazione e entusiasmo da oltre 20 anni dietro l’iniziale input, nel 1992, di Gillo Pontecorvo.
Lumière marca uno scatto ulteriore dell’iniziativa festivaliera; l'edizione precedente ha ospitato 100 lungometraggi e 200 cortometraggi da tutto il mondo (60 Paesi diversi). Tutti gli strumenti della macchina del Festival sono a disposizione della scoperta e l’esplorazione di nuovi linguaggi e talenti, la tentazione mai sazia di dar voce al carattere innovativo e spesso indipendente della nuova produzione internazionale cinematografica.
Abbiamo creato una rete di festival cinematografici europei tesa ad aumentare la visibilità delle opere europee in Europa. I film presentati nell'edizione 2014 sono ancora proiettati in UK, Bulgaria, Croazia e Romania e nuovi partner stanno aderente alla rete
Quest’anno, alla dimensione temporale, si aggiunge un definitivo carattere spaziale che contrassegna l’ambizione reale di questa quinta edizione. Con il privilegio del “senno di poi” abbiamo imparato che un mondo globalmente connesso, informato e alleato non comporta un confuso melting pot delle culture al suo interno. La difesa e la salvaguardia delle culture regionali non disperde, bensì incentiva, le dinamiche di collaborazione globale, arricchendo e proteggendo allo stesso tempo la/le nostre identità di cittadini del mondo a diversi livelli. Questo binomio non banale è testimoniato dal motto europeo “uniti nella diversità”.
C’è un animale che per natura unisce diversi tipi di caratteristiche che lo rendono unico nel suo genere: l’ornitorinco. Questo guazzabuglio faunistico ha il becco da anatra ma la coda da roditore, le zampe da rettile nonostante sulla carta sia un mammifero con la irragionevole capacità di deporre uova. La sua capacità di rimanere integro di fronte alla diversità delle sue parti lo rende libero da ogni categoria zoologica e al contempo guardiano di una identità unica e preziosa.
In questo senso l’ornitorinco rappresenta la logica del nostro festival, il nostro modo di difendere l’identità, sapendo che il dialogo e il confronto rafforzano e non demoliscono la nostra unicità.

The passion and commitment that each filmmaker and writer puts into his or her work is both noble and unique, to say the least, and deserves to be acknowledged. As not only the cornerstone of our Mission but as the foundation of our belief system and morals, we seek out, acknowledge and award the many talented independent filmmakers who may not get the recognition they richly deserve.
The Great Lakes International Film Festival strives to serve the interests and needs of Independent Filmmakers worldwide by connecting artists with audiences, exhibiting and promoting new films and filmmaking talent, as well as nurturing a creative community by facilitating relationships that last well beyond each year’s festival.

Though the GLIFF success does not come from an excess of big names celebrities crowding its red carpet, but instead from a formidable catalogue of exceptionally high caliber Independent Films and career launches, still, over the years we have had many films that have screened on the Sundance Channel, IFC, PBS and HBO along with countless filmmakers who have received distribution deals after screening in our festival.
Since our inception, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has showcased more than 2,000 films, and has played host to countless celebrities such as actor, writer, producer Bill Hinzman of Flesheaters and Night of the Living Dead; director Lloyd Kaufman of the Toxic Avenger films, Pot Zombies, and President of Troma Films; actor Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw Massacre; actor and director Mark Borchardt of American Movie and Coven; Erick Rodgers (Writer of NYPD Blue); best-selling mystery author Jamian Snow (Shrouded Insanity); John Hancock (“Hill Street Blues”, “The Twilight Zone”, & California Dreaming); actress and “Scream Queen” Debbie Rochon (Blood Relic, Vampyre Tales, & Lord of the Undead); Bobby Logan (Meatballs 4 & Repossessed), along with so many more.
As one of the premier film festivals worldwide, the Great Lakes International Film Festival held its inaugural festival in the fall of 2002, welcoming internationally acclaimed celebrities like Dirk Benedict, best known for his work on Battlestar Galactica and A-Team, along with Hollywood script guru Harri James who worked as script supervisor for blockbuster films and TV Shows as ER, Alias, Tremors II: Aftershocks, and Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, to name only a few.
That same year, B.J. and the Bear & Up in Smoke producer, Otto Felix visited the festival along with the renowned Keith Carradine being presented with a lifetime achievement award for his dedication and contributions to indie film.
Since that time, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has had many films go on to greatness like “The Derby Stallion” that was released through Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, a subsidiary of Disney, and Director Joel Miller’s film “The Still Life” that received distribution through Warner Home Video after having been screened at the festival.
In 2004, the Great Lakes International Film Festival had the proud pleasure to present the North East United States Premiere of “SAW”, Lions Gate Films’ gripping psychological thriller starring Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, and Leigh Whannel.
The legendary Terry Moore was our special guest of honor and was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her amazing accomplishments in film over the past 60 years, while international recording superstar Dizzy Reed of Guns ‘N Roses performed before a capacity crowd at our Film Festival.

Mission:
A judged film festival described as "Sundance with Fangs" by Newsday Long Island. We provide a venue for showcasing your films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those of you who passionately craft your Strange-ifical, Weird-ifical, Horror-ifical, Sci-fi-tastical, Fantastical and Macabre-licious films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced: Ma-Cob. The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning: disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury, WE ARE NOT SOLELY A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL but instead a whole lot more than that. We usually approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in the sense that, not all of the films screened are horror and instead many may simply be considered a bit on the darker side. Of course, we will add some horror to this festival but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as:
Vincent Price & Peter Cushing or those fantastic Gothic horrors like the "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to us. What we are saying is that the word "Macabre" DOES NOT mean we only accept HORROR films but instead that we welcome those films that can tap into our fears through what you don't see or hear. A dark drama, mystery, suspense, thriller or dark comedy can do a lovely job making us feel uncomfortable in the dark. So folks, this is what many of the films selected for the Macabre Faire Film Festival offer. A buffet for any pallet. About the only thing we may have to say "No Thanks" to would be a romantic comedy/drama... unless, there's a monster under the bed during love making or other dark element.
All submitted films are pre-screened by select judges that includes Eileen Dietz, our Festival Ambassador, of the original "The Exorcist" film to ensure the films have followed guidelines and are an overall fit for the festival. Then the films are passed on to another set of judges consisting of more filmmakers, film critics, genre film fans and or seasoned actors to choose the Official Selections. Once these selections have been identified there is an additional judging process in collaboration with the original pre-screening judges to identify the different category nominees. Once you have been notified we insist on having the film festival entry form filled out and submitted back to the festival via email or snail mail within 4 weeks of acceptance. This form can be found on our website or it has been emailed to you as an attachment with your initial welcoming email.
URGENT NOTE: IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FESTIVAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ACCEPTED FILM WITHIN 4 WEEKS FROM INITIAL ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION, WHICH ALL FILMMAKERS RECEIVE FROM FESTHOME BY DEADLINE DATE, YOUR FILM WILL NO LONGER BE AN OFFICIAL SELECTION IN THE MACABRE FAIRE FILM FESTIVAL. So we urge everyone to check their spam folders at all times and or ensure to make contact with the festival within 4 weeks of the acceptance notification. Failure to do so will exclude your film from the festival. Please take the time to ACTUALLY READ all the pages of the submission form which contains mailing address information (if needed) and other very important details which includes getting your discs or film posters sent to the festival in a timely fashion. This does not mean mailing materials in 2 weeks before the event as they will not be accepted.
Moving on...
