Nos primórdios do cinema, com o advento do cinematógrafo, os artistas de vanguarda encontraram um novo meio de expressão, chamado sétima arte, que logo foi adotado pelos grandes estúdios.
Assim, o espaço ocupado pelo Festival Internacional de Cinema de Santander — Picknic Film Festival, é um local onde filmes de visibilidade e distribuição reduzidas, mas selecionados para festivais de cinema de prestígio, com a aprovação da imprensa, têm a possibilidade de ser exibidos.
O Scare-A-Con Film Festival suporta cinema independente feito fora do envolvimento direto do estúdio de Hollywood, trazendo-lhes exposição muito necessária aos grandes estúdios independentes em todo o mundo.
O Scare-A-Con Film Festival (anteriormente o B-Movie Film Festival) tem sido um evento emocionante na CNY desde 1999! Nós ajudamos a trazer exposição a mais de 10.000 filmes, shorts e documentários de todo o mundo. Muitos dos filmes que foram reproduzidos em nosso festival passaram para o sucesso de distribuição com empresas como Maverick, Image, Barnholtz, e estão disponíveis no local como Blockbuster, Best Buy, Netflix, Amazon.com e Walmart. Faça parte do festival de cinema único e da convenção de terror, ficção científica e fantasia que mostra os filmes desvalorizados!
O festival é agora uma parte da convenção Scare-a-Con, que traz centenas de estrelas de Hollywood como Linda Blair, Tony Todd, Ernie Hudson, Joe Bob Briggs, John Schneider, Doug Bradley, John Russo, C. Thomas Howell, membros do elenco de “The Walking Dead”, “Mystery Science Theater 3000" e mais e mais 6000 patronos por evento! O festival e a convenção acolhe eventos como misturadores de cineastas, festas de dança, painéis de celebridades, festas à fantasia e muito mais. É um evento incrível de 3 dias, e uma ótima oportunidade para os cineastas socializarem e se conectarem com seus pares.

O FesticineKids 27 é um festival internacional de cinema infantil e juvenil em Cartagena das Índias, é uma competição cinematográfica que orienta seus esforços para fortalecer a produção e distribuição do cinema colombiano, latino-americano e mundial para crianças e jovens.
Em 2025, o FesticineKids chega à 27ª edição com o mesmo espírito de destacar e celebrar o cinema para meninas, meninos e jovens. A frase foi escolhida como slogan: VALORES DE NOSSOS FILHOS. A partir desse conceito, pretende-se convidar crianças e jovens a estarem cientes da responsabilidade que têm de serem agentes de mudança em seus ambientes. Crianças e jovens são o futuro que deve incentivar o cuidado do nosso planeta Terra, dos seres humanos que os cercam, dos animais e plantas, bem como dos lugares que visitam. A tendência aos filmes afro e voltados para os povos indígenas.
Na construção do perfil do FesticineKids 27, a tela é problematizada como um ponto de confluência de meninas, meninos e adolescentes. Ao postular o cinema como aquele cenário em que sentimentos, emoções e crenças são expressos, pretende-se que meninas, meninos e adolescentes, entendendo o que o cinema os evoca, o que extraem dele e seus significados, se perguntem sobre o lugar que o cinema tem em suas vidas, em seu ambiente, em paralelo ao lugar que desejam e sonham.
É também uma oportunidade para adultos, pais, professores, autoridades culturais e cinematográficas pensarem na necessidade de fortalecer suas capacidades de serem formadores em tensão e interação com a mídia audiovisual, especialmente o cinema.

Como o Festival Internacional de Curtas-Metragens “Ciudad de Soria” considera sempre o cinema de curtas-metragens na capital e aprecia como essencial a disseminação da cultura, nosso objetivo é promover como meio de expressão audiovisual; a contribuição para o reconhecimento e divulgação. Esse formato deve ser essencialmente e basicamente uma parte do CINEMA.
Some call it the “Lady Tickler,” “Lip Spinach,” or even, the “Cookie Duster.” Formally, it is known simply as “The Moustache.” In all of its forms it represents a man’s individuality and inner strength. Whether a full, furry and lustrous lip warmer or a smooth, sleek line of suave sophistication weaving it’s way across a dude’s upper lip, a man’s Moustache is an indication of his robust heart and the very soul of his being.
As part of the annual Facial Hair Fest—a celebration of facial hair in Portland, Maine—we are now looking for submissions for the International Moustache Film Festival (IMFF). Films will be screened in several venues throughout the week of March 21 through March 28, 2015,.
The Facial Hair Fest features all sorts of delightfully hairy good times, including the 8th annual Stache Pag (a moustache pageant), the Facial Hair Farmers Market, the Can-Am Beard and Moustache Competition, and of course, the IMFF. A number of IMFF screening blocks will be held, each dedicated to a different kind of stache. And despite the official name of the festival, beards are welcome. They are, after all, the less refined cousin to the moustache.
Films will be selected based on two criteria. First, we want good films. Second, we want films that highlight conspicuous, outstanding, and awesome facial hair. It's that simple.
Past years have seen the IMFF covered in the global press, including: Movie|Line, EW.com, The Guardian, BBC, Reuters, The Huffington Post, Boston.com, Yahoo.com, The Times of India, Buenos Aires Herald, DownEast Magazine, The Tribune, American Mustache Institute, The Beard Club and Stuff.Co.NZ.
Have a main character with a nice stache? Send us your film.
A documentary about hippies with beards? That's good to.
A film about Salvador Dali or Jesus? Totally qualifies.
A film about any of the following:
Hippies. Prophets. Musicians. Mountain Men. Cops. Robbers. Firemen. Old Fashioned Strong Men. Cowboys. NFL Quarterbacks. Private Investigators. Scientists. Political Leaders. Pirates. Canadians. Wizards. Dwarves. Dads. Cavemen. You. Your friends. Your enemies.
So send us some films, and please consider attending the International Moustache Film Festival!
