Международный кинофестиваль в Гальдаре (FIC Gáldar) является одним из самых важных кинофестивалей на Канарских островах, и в каждом из своих выпусков основное внимание уделяется лучшим отечественным и международным кинематографам. Этот фестиваль, организованный городским советом Гальдара через Совет по культуре с 2013 года, предлагает прямую трансляцию мероприятия с важными медико-санитарными мерами для обеспечения полной безопасности и комфорта.
С сегодняшнего дня наше мероприятие будет проводиться в первоначально запланированные даты. Мы строго соблюдаем правила и положения, установленные правительством Испании, и, поскольку надеемся, что кинотеатры будут заполнены до начала мероприятия на полную мощность, мы также готовы открыть наши залы в ограниченном количестве, если это будет необходимо. Если планы проведения нашего прямого эфира изменятся, мы уведомим всех отобранных кинематографистов с новыми датами.
Фестиваль пройдет в городе Гальдар на острове Гран-Канария в октябре 2025 года. Его философия направлена на то, чтобы фильм стал единственным и великим центром притяжения, не упуская из виду создателей, которые заслуживают недостойного уважения к своим работам.
Таким образом, этот фестиваль не будет делать различий между темами, форматами или жанрами. Прием заявок открыт для всех типов полнометражных и короткометражных фильмов. Мы стремимся показать лучшее из драмы, комедии, ужасов, научной фантастики и фэнтези, триллеров/саспенса, нуара, художественной и документальной литературы, как в жанре живого боевика, так и в анимации. Прием заявок открыт для фильмов со всего мира.
FIC привержена идее кино для кино, следуя истинному видению, которое не отвечает ни социальным, ни идеологическим, ни формальным требованиям. По своей сути, это кинофестиваль без границ.
Наконец, фестиваль также отдаст дань уважения различным деятелям киноиндустрии и организует семинары и параллельные мероприятия.

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

Международный фестиваль короткометражных фильмов в Псарококало — ежегодный фестиваль, который проводится в Греции с 2007 года. Фестиваль призван продемонстрировать работы новых кинематографистов со всего мира и популяризировать разнообразие и богатство короткометражных фильмов. Фестиваль является частью проекта, направленного на исследование, продвижение и развитие искусства кинопроизводства. Программа фестиваля включает показы короткометражных фильмов из Греции и других стран, а также аудиовизуальные мероприятия, лекции, мастер-классы, выставки и живые концерты. Качество показов, лекций и выставок позволило ему стать ориентиром для кинофилов, кинематографистов, профессионалов и новых художников. С каждым годом деятельность фестиваля расширяется, в нем принимают все больше участников из разных стран и получают все большую поддержку со стороны кинематографистов и профессионалов. Фестиваль нацелен на пересечение границ для развития духа дружбы и сотрудничества с международными фестивалями и кинематографистами со всего мира. Международный фестиваль короткометражных фильмов в Псарококало организован некоммерческой организацией Kyklos, базирующейся в Афинах, целью которой является содействие акциям, связанным с кинематографом и повышением осведомленности общественности об экологических проблемах. «Киклос» в переводе с греческого означает цикл, а цель цикла — уважение основных прав, включая свободу, равные возможности и культурное разнообразие.
Бухарестский фестиваль короткометражных фильмов [BSFF]
Independent является ключевым словом Бухарестского фестиваля короткометражных фильмов [BSFF], поскольку он основан независимыми кинопрофессионалами и ориентирован на независимых кинематографистов со всего мира. Бухарестский фестиваль короткометражных фильмов направлен на признание, демонстрацию и распространение самых профессиональных, самых инновационных и интересных свежих короткометражных международных фильмов, всегда отдавая приоритет независимым короткометражным фильмам.
Бухарестский фестиваль короткометражных фильмов продемонстрирует одни из лучших короткометражных международных фильмов в области нарративных, анимационных, студенческих, экспериментальных, документальных фильмов, музыкальных клипов и прав человека. Мы близко к сердцу принимаем объем работы, вложенной в каждый фильм. Поэтому правила фестиваля гарантируют, что каждый фильм рецензируется не менее двух раз и хорошо обсуждается нашей командой. Некоторые из отмеченных наградами фильмов также будут показаны на других международных кинофестивалях.
Независимые артисты и их короткометражные фильмы встретят шипучую и довольно опытную аудиторию кино и кинофестивалей, обеспечивая качественное общение и привлекательные возможности, в то время как отобранные фильмы будут определены группой отраслевых экспертов.
Бухарестский фестиваль короткометражных фильмов создает сильное сообщество интересов международных независимых кинопрофессионалов и любителей кино в самом сердце одной из самых интересных развивающихся столиц искусства и культуры, города, который никогда не спит — Бухаресте.
На фестивале будут проходить кинопоказы, которым предшествуют или последуют вопросы и ответы артистов, побочные мероприятия по налаживанию связей и, конечно же, вечеринки, которые пройдут на различных традиционных и нетрадиционных сценах Бухареста, таких как кинотеатры, открытые пространства и даже летние театры. Бухарест, вы слышали о нем, в конце концов — город для молодежи. Хорошо известен разными вещами — такими как прозвище «Старый Париж» в буржуазные времена, до десятилетий коммунизма, или крупнейшее в мире здание парламента [и одно из крупнейших зданий любого рода], со времен коммунизма, новой архитектуры или взрывной сцены современного искусства, а также довольно впечатляющие андеграундные художественные, музыкальные и ночные сообщества в настоящее время.
The Rwanda Film Festival, also known as Hillywood, has not only established itself as the country’s most important cultural event, but also as one of Africa’s most prestigious festivals. For seven days, film lovers, filmmakers, industry professionals and media will watch the best in new cinema from established masters and new local and international talents. The Hillywood tradition continues this year with the festival’s tenth edition.
Our principal objective is to promote and encourage awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of cinema in Rwanda.
Our mandate is to present the most outstanding films produced in every part of the world.
With the ongoing development of filmmaking in Rwanda, we believe the time is right for such a festival that serves as a key platform for the promotion of Rwandan-produced cinema and also enables our local professionals to interact with internationally established filmmakers.
Among the most important Italian art film festivals, TOHORROR FILM FEST starts from cinema and then explores all possible means of communication, with the purpose of analysing contemporary society through the deforming lenses provided by the fantastic and horror culture. Thus, through the young authors’ videos and the films made by more expert directors, the meetings, the theatrical performances, the concerts, the art and comics exhibitions, we are enabled to to interpret reality, filtering it through a most wild imagination.
ONLY FOR LATINOAMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS // SOLO PARA ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS DE LATINOAMERICA
Фиатикорти родился в 2000 году по идее некоторых участников «Молодежного проекта» Истраны.
Название мероприятия было выбрано по двум причинам: во-первых, «одышка» (fiato corto) — это результат кратковременных физических усилий (та же продолжительность короткометражных фильмов). Более того, фильм продолжительностью до 20 минут способен вызвать у зрителя сильные эмоции, заставляя его «задыхаться».
Изначально фильм «Фиатикорти» был сгруппирован в один вечер, а именно вечер награждения. Однако, начиная с четвертого выпуска, формат фестиваля расширился, и фестиваль проходит в четыре этапа, на которых представлены лучшие работы.
В 2006 году был открыт раздел FiaTiveneti для поощрения режиссеров короткометражных фильмов из региона Венето.
2011 год стал поворотным моментом в истории компании fiaticorti. Давний художественный руководитель Джанни Биллио не только передал эстафету Бартоло Айрольди Сагарриге (новому художественному руководителю), Андреа Греспан и Симоне Перотто, но и значительно повысилось качество конкурсных фильмов, а также количество иностранных участников, в основном из Франции, Великобритании, Румынии и Испании.
Но самобытность фестиваля, связанная с культурой итальянских киноклубов семидесятых годов, всегда оставалась неизменной. Его цель — передать культуру и страсть к короткометражным фильмам. Вот почему художественное руководство предпочло не сопровождать фестиваль другими мероприятиями.
Hi Filmmakers! Our 2016 festival is in the history books again!
A comment from a filmmaker:
The Florida Movie Festival is a truly a wonderful experience. From the first contact with the organizers the filmmakers will feel they are with friends. The advantage of this festival is that there is direct contact with an audience through engaging group workshops, social gatherings and Q&A sessions. The location, Daytona Beach, makes it a refreshing environment to balance life with the intensities that many filmmakers deal with on a day by day basis. Respective, appreciative, encouraging, open, balanced, and supportive - The Florida Movie Festival.
THANK YOU!
Doug
Want to come to "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida? Submit your movie and you have made the first step in enjoying time in Florida in early March. You will have the festival, workshops, networking, sun, more sun, fun, on the ocean and theme parks within an hours drive. Are you in the cold weather, come thaw out and enjoy a week here.
Our Florida Movie Fest featured "Long Pants(60+min), Loose Shorts(20-59), and Short Shorts(1-19)" with a "NEW" genre in "Outdoor/Adventure/Travel this year. It was a big success just like the Women Directed/Produced from the previous year. The Women Directed/P remains our largest and most competitive genre. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your new work this year.
This year we moved our screenings to the "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida. Our workshops included: Creative Financing , Cinematography (2-Emmy award winning DP's), Copyright protection of intellectual property, Directing and Casting. These workshops were held in a room overlooking the ocean. Most of these terrific workshop hosts have indicated they would return and we are already engaged in conversation about a full day workshop - hands on with an Emmy award DP. Sounds great!
So next year make plans early and come to Daytona Beach, for the festival, sun, car races, bike week, or spring break. Maybe all the above.
Filmmakers came from as far away as Toronto and Calgary, Canada along with California.
Please make plans for the coming year.
Winners this year came from Sri Lanka, Iran, Germany, Austria, India, Australia, Argentina, UK, Chile, Ecuador , Brazil, Uruguay, France, Russia, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan , Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and US.
"Movies with passion and freedom" continues as our theme this year. Wow did you hit this on the mark. It is a real quality event when we have so much talent around the world finding its way to our festival.
FMF does encourage you to submit multiple work or a second category with same movie. Contact FMF to receive a twenty-five % discount for second movie and a fifty % discount for a third movie. If you find yourself in a quandary on which category to enter. You can enter a second category for a 50% discount to increase your chances for success.
FMF will continue our three main categories: "Short Shorts (1-19min), Loose Shorts (20-59min), and Long Pants (60+min)". A great 8 min. film is hard to be judged against a 35 min. short so we expanded to create a "Mini-Feature" category and to fairly protect the truly short film. This worked very well for us.
FMF will not change it's core principles in expanding, but FMF wants to provide an expansion of topics at this venue for our filmmakers and viewers to take a journey of - learning, relating, laughing, and many other emotions while keeping a thread of moral fabric!
One of our newer and very rewarding genre is Women. After attending a workshop on film for women, FMF heard their message. One of those messages: only 12% of women filmmakers are on the big screen. We want to help change that one independent film at a time. You are off to a great start, keep up the fabulous work.
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus". FMF wants to offer a genre that the story, script, director, producer or lead role is a Woman. FMF is looking beyond the industry term "chick flick" to films that are thought-provoking and personal growth about "Venus" or a view from "Venus". Present the world as a woman experience’s it – enlighten, empower, entertain, educate, inspire, curiosity and stimulate conversation.
