Imaginaria, dal 2014, lancia una nuova esperienza: affiancare in una naturale continuità il cinema d’animazione internazionale ai movimenti e agli autori più innovativi del fumetto d’autore.

Nel 2025 abbiamo proiettato più di 300 cortometraggi nelle 29 sezioni che programmiamo.
Mecal è fortemente impegnata a promuovere l'esposizione e la diffusione di creazioni audiovisive in formato breve, non solo presso il pubblico, ma anche facendo incontrare creatori e distributori attraverso diverse attività. Mecal si dedica anche alla promozione dei talenti emergenti, organizzando eventi e premi appositamente rivolti ai giovani creatori. In questo senso, funziona anche come rete di diffusione di cortometraggi, organizzando proiezioni sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, collaborando con festival, ambasciate e istituzioni di tutto il mondo.

Il concorso è aperto anche per il nostro concorso di musiche per film horror (iscrizioni tramite il nostro sito web). All'evento, abbiamo anche concorsi dal vivo di scream king/scream queen e concorsi di trucco FX.
Quest'anno organizzeremo anche la seconda edizione del concorso cinematografico Room 237, in cui i registi si sfideranno per creare un film in 30 giorni utilizzando un'arma del delitto assegnata durante una riunione introduttiva di Zoom. Ulteriori informazioni sul concorso cinematografico Room 237 saranno disponibili sul sito Web dell'Horror Hotel Film Festival entro gennaio 2024.

Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.
La mostra internazionale di cortometraggi Video/Jujuy/Cortos è uno spazio di proiezione audiovisiva NON competitivo, senza fini di lucro, aperto e gratuito organizzato annualmente da Wayruro Comunicación Popular.
L'obiettivo del Festival è promuovere la produzione e la diffusione di audiovisivi come mezzo di espressione e comunicazione.
Questo spazio artistico/culturale gratuito è nato nel 2002. Fin dai suoi inizi, il festival ha stabilito relazioni con scuole, organizzazioni sociali, di quartiere, per i diritti umani e artistiche, i centri di attività giovanili e le organizzazioni delle popolazioni native, cercando di essere permeabile alle esigenze e alle richieste del mezzo, sia in termini di temi che di genere, dando vita a un programma variegato che spazia dal video sociale all'animazione, compresa la fiction e gli audiovisivi sperimentali.
Come spazio e luogo di riflessione e punto di incontro per i creatori, rinomati professionisti organizzano workshop e conferenze, cercando di fornire informazioni e formazione, gratuitamente, agli interessati. Quest'anno, la mostra concentra questo spazio sulla riflessione sulla situazione audiovisiva, sul lavoro e sul pensiero in rete e sul consolidamento della produzione audiovisiva comunitaria e popolare.
