The First International Film Festival of Madrid to promoting sensible cinema and intercultural dialogue.
O FESTIVAL: MOVIMENTO DA CULTURA
O Festival nasceu com uma missão muito específica: visa estimular a atenção do público para um espaço representativo aberto e amplo, como o ambiente rural, fazendo de suas projeções ao ar livre, abertas a todos, o melhor expoente. Jovens e adultos, gerações separadas por anos e experiências, se reúnem em torno de uma tela, que é o foco da luz de um passado e de um futuro: a cultura é atemporal, a cultura une e a linguagem cinematográfica será o elo comum para temperar emoções e sentimentos, guardar memórias e provocar encontros animados.
Dessa forma, todos os participantes do evento podem desfrutar de um discurso heterogêneo e dinâmico. Por meio desse impulso cultural, as diferentes correntes de criatividade permitem que os espectadores se movam e explorem códigos novos e antigos em um espaço público, criando uma comunidade.
Somos um festival que promove enfaticamente o cinema social independente, aquele cinema que conta histórias de pessoas, lugares, condições e situações comuns à maior parte da humanidade. Em outras palavras, histórias de carne e sangue, sensíveis e verdadeiras.
Por outro lado, estamos convencidos de que o cinema é a ferramenta mais importante de transformação social e cultural do mundo; e que os festivais são meios alternativos e janelas de exposição, cuja função específica é a interação dinâmica com o público-alvo, a fim de alcançar níveis de consciência profunda para aqueles espectadores.
Portanto, queremos apresentar-nos a vocês, cineastas, de forma formal e honesta, fingindo ser considerada uma ponte entre aqueles que veem, interpretam e moldam a realidade de uma maneira diferente e os habitantes da nossa região; uma região localizada na Colômbia, que precisa urgentemente ouvir mensagens de esperança cultural através da arte, a fim de alcançar a paz interior e mudanças radicais em suas vidas.
A ficmonterrey está em constante busca por narrativas humanas que se baseiam em visões que emergem de um mundo em constante movimento e transformação, em interconexão e inovação para sua seleção.
O Festival busca filmes com o poder de residir na memória coletiva do público, com o poder de se mover e criar diálogo com eles.
Um dos principais interesses da equipe organizadora da ficmonterrey é incentivar novas perspectivas, aquelas que são jovens não por causa da idade, mas porque estão frescas, por permanecerem críticas, por inovarem e se aventurarem em vários riscos.
O objetivo geral do ficmonterrey é reunir em Nuevo León um público presencial e virtual em todo o México, diante de uma seleção de cinema contemporâneo mexicano e internacional criado por cineastas com visões diversas, novas, arriscadas, críticas e inovadoras. Da mesma forma, estamos interessados em fornecer um espaço de treinamento que promova o encontro entre cineastas, filmes e público; e atividades que promovam a produção cinematográfica, especialmente feminina e regional.
O primeiro e mais importante Freak Festival da Espanha. Também aceitamos filmes de terror e fantásticos. Com um público de 2.000 pessoas todos os dias, de segunda a sexta-feira, adoraríamos exibir seus curtas-metragens.
Our event is devoted to exploration of different artistic ways for remarkable expression of the author’s view, not dictated by any of political or trend frames, but delivered with high quality and in a respective manner.
We promote cinematic art as the greatest means for dialog between nations and try to deepen community’s understanding of Russian mentality. We encourage directors and producers to rise the issues of all kinds of global or local problems, because we strongly believe in cinematic power in solving them and awakening people’s mind.
We introduce the new world’s independent filmmakers to Russian spectators, show best Russian and world’s new films to distributors and broaden the exchange of experience between Russian, European, Asian and American cinema art schools.

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.
Em 2025, o festival acontecerá no Rio de Janeiro e em Niterói, e estão abertas as inscrições para curtas-metragens e longas-metragens sobre questões ambientais, direitos humanos e sustentabilidade.
O festival exibe anualmente os melhores filmes e vídeos recentes sobre questões ambientais, para criar consciência, provocar debates e ampliar o conhecimento e a consciência sobre a necessidade de mudanças urgentes no comportamento de pessoas, governos e empresas, a fim de preservar o planeta.
Todas as exibições são gratuitas e alguns filmes podem ser exibidos on-line, com todas as garantias concedidas e bloqueadas geograficamente para o Brasil, se necessário.
BuSho (Budapest Short) was established in the autumn of 2004 by a group of young Hungarian filmmakers and the first event successfully ran its course the following year. The festival became an international breakthrough in an exceptionally short period of time. We had plenty of festival screenings, selections of film academies, conferences, exhibitions, film-, and all-art workshops in the program. Our main target group is the generation of developing young filmmakers but we are very delighted at every entry. This film celebration takes place in Budapest in the late summer of 2019.
O FOGO!! A Mostra é o primeiro festival de cinema LGBT na Espanha: criado em 1995 pelo Casal Lambda, em Barcelona, aborda a diversidade afetiva em seu sentido mais amplo por meio de uma seleção cuidadosa de longas-metragens, documentários e curtas-metragens. Uma seleção de cinema artístico e uma abordagem educacional são suas principais características.
Durante duas semanas no início de junho - principalmente no Instituto Francês, mas também em outros locais internos ou ao ar livre da cidade -, um grande público é convidado a apreciar esse marco cultural de Barcelona, com histórias e depoimentos de pessoas livres, criadores que quebram barreiras e lutadores pelos direitos humanos, todos os quais ajudam com amor a construir um mundo mais justo e livre.
O nome do festival é uma homenagem à revista nova-iorquina de mesmo nome do final dos anos 20, FIRE!! , liderado pelo escritor negro homossexual Richard Bruce Nugent, retratado em um dos filmes mais icônicos do festival, Brother to Brother, que exibimos há alguns anos.
