Il Festival del cinema di 100 secondi è un incontro per i registi internazionali che usano la loro brevità e la loro infinita creatività artistica per realizzare un film con immagini promettenti del «cinema etnico» in varie dimensioni, formati e prospettive, per perfezionare la vita del pubblico creando cortometraggi fino a 100 secondi di arte. La tredicesima edizione di questo festival si terrà dal 28 febbraio al 3 marzo 2023 nella città di Teheran, in IRAN; dopo una pausa di 4 anni a causa della crisi del Corona.

Always striving to be one of the most progressive and creative Festivals in the world, the Great Lakes In-ternational Film Festival has officially opened its 2026 Call for Entries and is now accepting films of all ge-nres and lengths from around the world and across the United States for our 2026 Festival.
The passion and commitment that each Filmmaker and writer puts into his or her work is both noble and unique, to say the least, and deserves to be acknowledged. As not only the cornerstone of our mission, but as the foundation of our belief system and morals, we seek out, acknowledge, and award the innumerable talented independent Filmmakers who otherwise might not get the recognition they richly deserve.
For a quarter of a century the Great Lakes International Film Festival strives to serve the interests and needs of Independent Filmmakers worldwide by connecting artists with audiences, exhibiting and promoting new films and filmmaking talent, as well as nurturing a creative independent film community worldwide.
In addition to being one of the most dynamic festivals, one of the most popular attractions that the Great Lakes International Film Festival offers to Filmmakers is our home, Erie Pennsylvania. As one of the most unique communities, Erie proffers an amazing landscape that is as diverse as the people that make up its City.
Seated on the shores of Lake Erie, the beautiful Presque Isle State Park is a peninsula with amazing beaches and trails that curve around Presque Isle Bay. This 3,112-acre park boasts 13 miles of roads, 21 miles of recreational trails, 13 beaches for swimming, a myriad of wildlife and a lovely marina.
Nearby, Waldameer Amusement Park & Water World has roller coasters and waterslides along with many other attractions to engage visiting Filmmakers and attendees alike. The Erie Maritime Museum traces the history of Lake Erie and is the homeport of the US Brig Niagara, a historic 19th-century ship.
Only a few blocks away the Erie Art Museum features a very impressive collection of 20th-century works, while a number of local playhouses deliver off-Broadway-style stage plays regularly.
Erie Pa also features a cornucopia of stunning historic architecture throughout, including the very impres-sive West Sixth Street Historic District, otherwise known as Millionaire's Row. Consisting of 117 beautiful buildings originally constructed in the Victorian era by lumber, banking, and Manufacturing barons such as Peter Herdic as their homes. Millionaire's Row now stands as a remarkable testament to an age long past.
In addition to awarding outstanding Filmmakers with Best of Genre Awards, our Festival offers an audience Choice Award to the Filmmaker whose film is the most popular with our attendees, and that receives the most attendee votes.
Since our inception, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has showcased more than 4,000 films, and has played host to countless celebrities and actors, and has amassed a formidable catalog of exceptionally high caliber Independent Films and career launches, with countless films that have gone on to be screened on the Sundance Channel, IFC, PBS and HBO along with so many more filmmakers who have received dis-tribution deals after screening in our festival.
While the success of the GLIFF has not come from an excess of big-name celebrities crowding its red car-pet, we feel that it instead is rooted in the much more important attention to detail that we offer, and most significantly, the very personal way in which we interact with each and every Filmmaker who has allowed us the honor of presenting their films over the past 25 years, doing our best to make each Filmmaker a part of our Festival family with ties that bind far beyond only one festival season.
Showcasing the best films of the 2026 season, the Great Lakes International Film Festival will be held LIVE in the great city of Erie, Pennsylvania starting on September 24, 2026, with our virtual screenings con-tinuing through October 10, 2026.
Though we have never focused on the big name Hollywood celebrities, still our Festival has played host to numerous special guests that include, writer, producer Bill Hinzman of Flesheaters and Night of the Living Dead; director Lloyd Kaufman of the Toxic Avenger films, Pot Zombies, and President of Troma Films; ac-tor Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw Massacre; actor and director Mark Borchardt of American Movie and Coven; Erick Rodgers (Writer of NYPD Blue); best-selling mystery author Jamian Snow (Shrouded Insani-ty); John Hancock (“Hill Street Blues”, “The Twilight Zone”, & California Dreaming); actress and “Scream Queen” Debbie Rochon (Blood Relic, Vampyre Tales, & Lord of the Undead); Bobby Logan (Meatballs 4 & Repossessed), along with so many more.
As one of the premier film festivals worldwide, the Great Lakes International Film Festival held its inaugural festival in the fall of 2002, welcoming internationally acclaimed celebrities like Dirk Benedict, best known for his work on Battlestar Galactica and A-Team, along with Hollywood script guru Harri James who worked as script supervisor for blockbuster films and TV Shows as ER, Alias, Tremors II: Aftershocks, and Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, to name only a few.
In that same year, B.J. and the Bear & Up in Smoke producer, Otto Felix visited the festival along with the renowned Keith Carradine being presented with a lifetime achievement award for his dedication and con-tributions to indie film.
Since that time, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has had many films go on to greatness like “The Derby Stallion” which was released through Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, a subsidiary of Disney, and Director Joel Miller’s film “The Still Life” that received distribution through Warner Home Video after having been screened at the festival.
As far back as 2004, the Great Lakes International Film Festival had the proud pleasure to present the North East United States Premiere of “SAW”, Lions Gate Films’ gripping psychological thriller starring Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, and Leigh Whannel.
The legendary Terry Moore was our special guest of honor and was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her amazing accomplishments in film over the past 60 years, while international recording su-perstar Dizzy Reed of Guns ‘N Roses performed before a capacity crowd at our Film Festival.
Considered among the most popular film festivals in the world, the 25th annual Great Lakes International Film Festival genre categories for feature-length and short-length films are Narrative, Documentary, Expe-rimental, Religious/Spiritual, Animation, Comedy, Horror, with Horror sub-genres that include Supernatural, Thrillers, Wicken, Magical, Slashers, Science Fiction, Suspense, Horror Documentary, Horror Animation and all genres of Music Videos and GLBT films for the 2026 festival.
If there is anything as universal as the ageless storytelling of motion pictures, it’s the music that makes up life’s soundtrack. The 2026 Great Lakes International Film Festival shall accept Music Videos from around the world of cross-continent and cross-genre productions. We shall accept Music Videos of all genres from Pop, Punk, Rock, Alt-Country, Country-Western, Folk, Reggae, Hip-Hop to Electronica, Jazz, Blues, Zydeco, Industrial, Metal, Hardcore, Gothic, Karaoke, Avant-Garde, World Music, and Experimental, and all other genres that may not be listed here.
The 2026 Great Lakes International Film Festival will accept all forms of Religious, Christian, and Spiritual films including African, African-American, GLBT, Black, Hispanic, Islamic, Latino, Native/Aboriginal, and student films from the United States and around the world.
From the feature narrative genre to documentary to animation; experimental, horror, and Spiritual films, the Great Lakes International Film Festival celebrates the film arts in dynamic transition. As emerging technologies, continue to redefine the form, Filmmakers from the Great Lakes region, across the country, and around the world express the common and the diverse through the age-old tradition. — The art of the story.
Founded in 2000, The Valley Film Festival (VFF) is a non-profit project of Community Partners ® and is the first and longest continually running film festival in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, headquartered in the NoHo Arts District.
Now in its 20th year, VFF supports local and international voices that advance storytelling, while furthering the education, production, and exhibition of film. In 2010, the City of Los Angeles recognized our cultural contributions with the city seal, and in 2018 the California State Senate stood with us #UnitedByFilm in our efforts to practice conscious programming to unite the international film community.
The Festival is supported by a dynamic community of companies, filmmakers, and moviegoers, that make it possible for VFF to offer year-round programming:
THE VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL
*In 2019, we expanded from a five-day showcase of film screenings to nine days of live music, book readings/signings, screenplay workshops, professional development panels, a distribution symposium, networking, daily happy hours and, of course, film screenings.
FOCUS ON: Series
*Educational panels in The Valley’s schools (Art Institute, Columbia College Hollywood, and New York Film Academy) that bring our network of industry experts together to share relevant, practical knowledge on navigating the industry
THE VALLEY FILM MARKET
*Previously under our Focus On: series, we’ve pulled out our film sales & distribution events to create THE VALLEY FILM MARKET. Our inaugural symposium included panels and a one-on-one matchmaking event between filmmakers & distributors.
VFF screens shorts, features, documentaries, animated films, experimental works, web series, music videos, and more. If you're unsure if your film fits our programming, please review our archives before submitting.

A vibrant arts event celebrating film in the beautiful city of St Albans, just 20 mins from London.
Ogni cortometraggio rappresenta il tempo, le decisioni, un modo di vedere, raccontare ed esprimere.
Alla sua 15a edizione, El Festivalico continua a ricevere opere da tutto il mondo, ognuna molto diversa dalle altre.
Non tutti vengono proiettati.
La selezione viene effettuata da un team con sensibilità e prospettive diverse.
Questo processo richiede mesi di visione, sempre affrontato con il massimo rispetto e rigore per ogni lavoro ricevuto.
Nel corso degli anni, alcune delle opere selezionate hanno continuato il loro viaggio, per poi essere selezionate e premiate ai Goya Awards, tra gli altri riconoscimenti.
Ma fanno tutti parte della stessa cosa:
la necessità di raccontare storie e di farsi vedere.
Per alcuni giorni, una selezione di queste storie viene condivisa e vissuta.
