The Mediterranean Film Festival in Široki Brijeg is characteristic for a unique atmosphere – a mixture of relaxed fun, tourism, rhythm and films. Hence the Festival quickly became the favourite of film workers and audience. Those who once feel the scent of the Mediterranean in this little town of film, shall always return to it. In front of the hall where the projections are going on there is always an interesting atmosphere, and after the projections there is always fun and dancing to the rhythms of urban music till late hours. The Festival is the initiator of the new relations within the world of culture, there is no elitism in it, no VIP boxes, no privileges. Within the last ten years we have succeeded to create an atmosphere in which no one feels alienated, inferior or less invited to be a part of the event.
MFF is the oldest festival of documentary film in the region considering that only documentary films compete here and the largest part of the program is based on documentaries. This is one of the rare festivals that has money prizes for the winners of the festival and in that way helps them to create new film projects. The School of Film Culture with relevant lecturers is being organized within the very MFF. A short documentary film is created every year at the MFF workshop, which we screen at the closure of the festival.
Besides the film projections there are also other programs offered at MFF. First of all the touristic ones, where a new branch, unknown untill now in Hercegovina, is developed – the cultural tourism. Within the tourism part there are the tours visiting the most interesting sites in Hercegovina which might be used as the locations for films shooting. Visits to the most significant touristic potentials of Hercegovina (Međugorje and Mostar) are also organized. We meet the guests of the festival to the exceptional archaeological localities and introduce them with the potentials of ethno tourism. In cooperation with the Tourist Board we get our guests acquainted with the Hercegovinian gastronomy – an extraordinary cuisine that has preserved the ancient taste and has not subdued to the modern culinary novelties, and belongs to a very healthy nutrition.
Mediterranean Film Festival lasts for six days, and all our guests, never mind from which part of the Mediterranean they might come, shall wish to come back again here.

Los objetivos de la Muestra de Cortometrajes “San Rafael en Corto” son la difusión, la divulgación y la proyección de obras cinematográficas, así como el conocimiento de éstas por parte del público asistente.

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.

En el año 2025, el InFest alcanzará ya su décima edición ininterrumpida.

Hemos sobrevivido a una pandemia juntos, y este año esperamos volver a traer una gran experiencia cinematográfica a nuestra audiencia, además de conciertos, risas, sorteos, mercadillo del horror... y todo ello presentado por unas maestras de ceremonias de lo más dicharacheras: las descacharrantes Cucas del InFest.
¿Qué más quieres?... ¿Quieres más? Pues por si todo esto fuera poco, los mejores cortometrajes recibirán grandes premios en metálico.
¿Te atreverás a acercarte al InFest y hacernos llegar tu cortometraje?

Aquí es donde empezamos, el lado oscuro del cine, inspirado en el mítico álbum de Pink Floyd.
Empezamos por el lado oscuro, invisible a simple vista, misterioso, oscuro, un lado con límites borrosos e infinitos matices, donde nada es seguro, preciso, predeterminado. No es visible sino invisible, se encuentra bajo la superficie o en cualquier otro lugar, es algo que no se puede simplificar, ya que alude continuamente a significados más profundos. Es el lado del cine que nunca es complaciente y siempre indaga, lo que nos hace cuestionar el significado de lo que vemos, escuchamos y percibimos.
Si te fijas bien, verás que hay un lado oscuro en todo. Lo encuentras en los cuentos populares de los hermanos Grimm, en las visiones fantásticas y apocalípticas de Fritz Lang, en los arquetipos de la ficción narrativa de Stephen King, en las inolvidables imágenes de Stanley Kubrick, en los poemas de Homero y en la epopeya de El señor de los anillos de Peter Jackson. Desde las Sagradas Escrituras hasta Juego de tronos, el lado oscuro es la fuerza que impulsa todas las formas de arte y el Ravenna Nightmare Film Fest es su icono cinematográfico.
