HARD: LINE国際映画祭は、エクストリーム・シネマのさまざまな側面を紹介することを目的としています。
「エクストリーム」という言葉が何を意味するのかという疑問は、私たちの幅広いセレクションの素晴らしい映画の内容を見れば理解できます。 「エクストリーム」は、露骨なスプラッターの美学によって定義されることが多いが、珍しいストーリーテリング手法やエキゾチックなビジュアルランゲージでも表現できる。 そこで、このジャンルの将来において重要になりそうな例を厳選しています。 私たちは探求の際に境界を設けていません。映画がインディペンデント・シーンの真珠であろうと、楽しいスプラッターであろうと、当たり前であろうと、H: LIFFは特別な映画が大好きです！
HARD: LINE国際映画祭は、できるだけ多くの映画を上映することが最優先の倉庫映画祭ではなく、エクストリーム・フィルムのあり得るあらゆるものの輝かしい例をいくつか上映することに焦点を当てています。

Cesate Short Film Fest è un concorso internazionale per cortometraggi, rivolto a registi e videomaker. Due le sezioni in concorso anche per l’ottava edizione: una dedicata ai film di fiction e una alle opere di animazione. La partecipazione è gratuita e le iscrizioni termineranno il 20 giugno.
Il festival è organizzato e promosso dall’ufficio Cultura e dalla biblioteca del Comune di Cesate, lanciato come sfida, non facile, a un territorio di provincia abituato a vivere la fagocitante vita culturale della metropoli milanese. Il festival ha raccolto consensi e partecipazioni di ottimo livello: dal 2010 a oggi sono giunti più di mille lavori, dall’Italia, dall’Europa, dagli Stati Uniti, dal Sudamerica. Abbiamo avuto come membri di giuria Maurizio Nichetti, Michelangelo Frammartino, Marco Bechis, Angela Finocchiaro, Marina Spada, Alina Marazzi, Raul Montanari, Barbara Sorrentini e altri personaggi del mondo della cultura; selezionato e premiato lavori di giovani registi o di autori esordienti, alcuni dei quali già stanno facendo parlare di sé.
Cesate Short Film Fest oltre a un concorso video che cerca talenti e nuove idee – capaci di animare con forze positive la nostra epoca – vuole essere l’occasione per offrire al pubblico, attraverso una carrellata di stili diversi e diversi punti di vista, una panoramica attenta, e nel contempo veloce, sulla continua evoluzione (o involuzione) della società, delle relazioni fra esseri umani, dei sentimenti. E inoltre, un’opportunità per osservare quanto le idee e le energie, spesso, si discostino dalle logiche della produzione cinematografica classica.
To promote the culture of integration, the Disability Pride Italy offers to filmmakers to produce short audiovisual works on the theme of disability - as a marked decrease in quality of life due to diseases and / or traumatic events - compelling storytelling directed at large public. The goal is to draw attention to the too often ignored problems of disabled people, keeping in mind the slogan of the Disability Pride Italy 2017 "will not hide!", Addressed both to disabled or able-bodied: the first to urge them to clamor the respect of their rights, the latter to support these claims.
The awards will take place during the event Disability Pride Italy 2017, to be held in Naples on 7, 8 and 9 July.
The top three winners will be awarded:
€ 1,000 to the winner
€ 600 for the second place
€ 400 to third place

私たちは、2021年1月20日から24日まで、ベルギーのブリュッセルを拠点とする毎年恒例の独立短編映画祭です。 毎年、100以上のショートフィルムを選び、世界中から40人以上の映画制作者を招待しています。
この祭りは16年間続いており、成功を収めています。 私たちは主に独立した映画をスクリーニングし、特にゴミのような映画ではありません。私たちは独創性と創造性を愛しています。 安く美容！
Courts Mais Trashのアイデアは、独立した短編映画を上映するための適切なプラットフォームがないことに由来しています。
控えめな映画基準を満たさない映画は、主にフェスティバルのプログラマーや合法的な視聴覚会場によって吸い取られています。 ゴミ箱は、しばしば言葉の挑発的な意味で認識されます。衝撃的で、同様に代替、政治、安価で陽気な...。
ビデオクリップやドキュメンタリーを通して、実験からアニメーションまで、あらゆるカテゴリーの映画が投影されます。 いいえジャンルは、未利用のままではありません。 ショーツはそれ自体が「ゴミ箱」である必要はありませんが、我々は最先端のカスプで、観客の利益に刺激する「そこに」ある仕事を奨励しています。 混乱を避けるため、上映は大人のみです。
あなたは最大の吹き出し代替に参加したいですか、地下と独立した映画館が提供しているし、今行動しています！ 何を待っているの？
私たちのカテゴリーのどれでも無料で作品を提出してください。
2024年5月27日から7月31日まで、Festhomeで応募を受け付けています。映画祭を見るにはクリックしてください。応募書類を電子メール（fickuntakinte@gmail.co）に送ることもできます。

奴隷制の歴史、世界のアフリカ系文化、公民権闘争、移住の経験、アフリカの遺産がさまざまな文化的表現に与えた影響など、アフリカのディアスポラの側面を取り上げた映画、ドキュメンタリー、短編映画を映画製作者に提出するよう呼びかけています。 私たちは映画を通じて、アフリカの子孫体験を定義づけてきた抵抗力、回復力、創造性の物語を救い、大切にすることを目指しています。
