El Festival de Cine latinoamericano de La Plata, FESAALP, con una trayectoria de ocho ediciones se ha transformado en una vidriera para el encuentro, la difusión y la promoción del cine del continente.
Buscamos difundir, exhibir y problematizar el cine de América Latina como lenguaje creativo, artístico e industrial. Además de contribuir al desarrollo de nuevas posibilidades y perspectivas para los cineastas, artistas que se dedican a contar historias y relatos a través del cine.
Afianzar el encuentro entre el público y su cine es el desafío mayor que desde el 2006 nos propusimos, y hoy nos encontramos con un festival con más secciones, películas, invitados, actividades formativas y espectadores.
Creemos que un festival no sólo debe ser un espacio para la exhibición, sino también el lugar que promueva el encuentro e intercambio de experiencias entre los realizadores y ayude a que las obras encuentren nuevos espacios donde poder ser vistas.
Es importante destacar y agradecer que desde el inicio contamos con el apoyo del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (INCAA), el Instituto Cultural de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, la Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Social de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, la Municipalidad de La Plata, y de otras instituciones y empresas privadas que se siguen sumando y depositando su confianza en el Festival.
El FESAALP crece y se afianza gracias al enorme talento de los realizadores latinos y a la siempre conmovedora pasión de los espectadores por el cine del continente.
Whitespace Gallery is proud to announce the 2015 edition of the Short Shorts video festival with the title Somebody Else’s Problem, and guest curated by Rachel Reese.
Selected video works will be shown at Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta, GA on August 13, 2015. A DVD anthology presenting the selected video works and their authors will accompany the exhibition.
The 2015 Short Shorts prompt uses the lens of the psychological effect known as “Somebody Else’s Problem,” or SEP, as a method to explore reactions and responses to recent American political and social events, particularly current, galvanizing American police brutality and racial discrimination cases. With protests and demonstrations fueling renewed national civil rights concerns, many of us are wondering what actions can make an impact, how to be involved, and how to transfer our individual passivity from SEP syndrome into collective forward action.
Are there connections between the ways we access and share information online, and individual civic engagement thresholds? Specifically, has instantaneous access to digital information and imagery contributed to a state of mere voyeuristic empathy, or even learned helplessness? Overload of visual information can create an environment of apathy and also a false sense of public engagement through passive forms. Does being able to see more conversely contribute to less experiential involvement by allowing screen viewing to stand in for actual bodies in real space? Does it overwhelm any desire for curiosity or engagement? We want to read, see, and learn more, but simultaneously we are restless: attention spans and comprehension rates are rapidly diminishing.
The images we see and share online are of real people in real time and space, happening “live”. Or are they? With the ever-rising influence of the media, questioning who owns and controls information is integral to discussing voice within our democratic system. Which platforms—social media, the Internet, traditional print media—do we believe to be reliable? How has the global ubiquity of smart phones, illuminated, or alternatively hindered, the distribution and perception of current political events – especially those most recently related to abuse of police power and structural racism.
How do we transfer collective energy and motivation into thinking about isolated or localized events as “somebody else’s problem” into collective societal motivations and wants? And then how do we fight against an oligarchal system masquerading as democracy in order to start real conversations and, ultimately, change?
We’re interested in representing video forms in all media, demanding a critical assessment of the systems of information and visualization we have established. What is the artist’s role in shaping public discourse, public outcry, public protest? What is the citizen’s responsibility to engage in radical political ideologies?
We seek short films and video works (no more than 10 minutes) from authors that explore and challenge ideas presented in this prompt, as well as works that open the conversation to include other related social concerns such as housing discrimination and food justice. We encourage submissions from a plurality of viewpoints, methods and forms, from artists, documentarians, students, citizens and amateurs alike.

Named one of MOVIEMAKER MAGAZINE's 20 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee, the event runs deeper than the marathon film-watching that fills guests' schedules from dawn until, well, dawn. Everyone you see on the sidewalks, in the restaurants and bars makes, cares, or has an opinion about film. It is the serendipitous encounters and ensuing discussions with the filmmakers and fellow passholders that makes the weekend so inspiring, affecting, and infectious.

Il Grand Rapids Feminist Film Festival (GRFFF) è una celebrazione dedicata all'elevazione delle voci e alla presentazione di talenti provenienti da gruppi storicamente sottorappresentati nei media tradizionali. La
nostra missione è:
● Portare consapevolezza della mancanza di rappresentanza diversa davanti e dietro la telecamera
● Ispirare e responsabilizzare i creatori di media di gruppi sottorappresentati ed emarginati a impegnarsi nel cinema come atto femminista
● Esaminare i media attraverso l'intersezione Lenti di genere, sessualità, razza, abilità, classe, età, ecc.
● Coltivare uno spazio accogliente e sicuro che favorisce la comprensione interculturale
Ora, al suo sesto anno, il GRFFF è stato originariamente l'idea dell'editore indipendente The Bandit Zine come versione cinematografica della loro rivista. Quello che è iniziato come una piccola rassegna serale è diventato un festival di tutto il giorno che include workshop interattivi e pannelli, performance di artisti locali e film proiettati da tutto il mondo.
Quest' anno, il festival si terrà al Wealthy Theatre a Grand Rapids. Ospiteremo relatori, un drag show e oltre 30 cortometraggi
Siamo entusiasti di vedere il festival crescere ancora di più quest'anno, e siamo così felici di far parte della comunità femminista di Grand Rapids in continua evoluzione.
GRFFF è gestito interamente da volontari ed è reso possibile attraverso partnership e sponsor della comunità.
Il CFF è un festival dedicato agli audiovisivi a tema ambientale e naturalistico. Si propone di raccogliere le immagini più interessanti e di premiare gli sforzi ed il talento dei giovani, ma non solo, che investono la loro energia nel raccontare il verde che ancora ci circonda.
Il Festival attraverso l’arte cinematografica ha come obiettivo quello di porre l’attenzione su ciò che accade nel nostro mondo, con particolare riferimento a tutto ciò che oggi è ambiente.
Luogo di denuncia e riflessione: il cinema sull’ambiente inteso come mezzo di comunicazione internazionale, confronto oltre che contenitore di critica, sviluppo e promozione.
Mai come oggi, in particolare nella nostra regione nasce l'obbligo di pubblicizzare, sostenere, reclamizzare "materiale" che possa spingerci alla riflessione, che possa farci fermare a pensare su tutto quello che ci circonda.
Ambiente rubato, ma anche riconquistato. Come spazio fisico ma anche spirituale. Le pellicole devono tracciare un inconsueto percorso che prende le mosse “dalle opere di denuncia e dalla testimonianza di uomini e donne coraggiose impegnate nella difesa dei propri territori, per arrivare alla proposta di nuovi modelli di vita sostenibili o all’ipotesi di terribili scenari futuri”.
I film del festival dovranno seguire principalmente due criteri: grande attenzione alle opere di ’casa nostra’ e alle storie di finzione, cercando di affiancare al cinema del reale, il documentario, che finora è stato il ’portavoce ufficiale’ delle istanze ambientali.
Il Festival si tiene a Caselle in Pittari in Provincia di salerno, incantevole cornice paesaggistica, storica, culturale e naturalistica nel cuore del Parco Nazionale del Cilento e Vallo di Diano sulle risorgenze del fiume Bussento.
Grandi protagonisti del cinema nazionale parteciperanno alla kermesse, incontreranno i giovani protagonisti dibattendo attivamente con loro dando preziosi consigli.
La partecipazione alla rassegna, l’ingresso alle proiezioni dei film ed agli eventi in programma sono gratuite fino ad esaurimento dei posti a sedere disponibili.
