AFO is currently one of the most important European festivals in the area of popular science film. It aims to present science as an attractive, dynamic and diverse sector through films charting natural, humanities and social science disciplines. Each year, hundreds of documentary films and television programs enroll in the competition sections of the festival. Traditionally, renowned stations such as BBC, Discovery Channel or National Geographic submit their films. In past years, the festival introduced for example Albert Barillé, the creator of the legendary cycle series Once Upon a Time... Life; Jeff Lieberman, host of Time Warp, an American popular show; Martha Holmes, exclusive producer of the BBC series Life; a world-renowned biologist Steve Jones; renowned populariser of science and medicine, Lord Robert Winston, popular British biologist and BBC associate Nigel Marven, executive producer of CBC series The Nature of Things Sue Dando or theoretical physicist and atheist activist Lawrence M. Krauss. The festival takes place in April in Olomouc. It originated in 1966.
Science film is a unique category of documentary film, an important field of cinema, that represents a substantial part of contemporary television broadcasting. AFO´s active programming seeks significant works in Czech and world science cinema, and present them to general as well as academic public. It focuses not only on current productions, but reviews, and revives the history of the genre in special program sections. Each year, a dominant topic brings together films and guests from all over the world, presenting science as a thrilling adventure.

Willkommen bei der Radical Frame Film Series - 2020 Kurzfilmserie - Berlin
Wir beim Radical Frame Film Festival sind stolz darauf, die Ausgabe acht der Short Film Series ankündigen zu können.
Die Idee für das Radical Frame Film Festival begann vor einigen Jahren, als eine Gruppe von Denver Aktivisten, Künstlern und Freunden beschlossen hat, die Botschaften des Videoaktivistischen Kinos in die Öffentlichkeit zu bringen. Aufgrund des gegenwärtigen sozialen und politischen Klimas, sowohl lokal als auch global, ist unsere Mission — ein Forum für denkwürzige Filme und Debatten zu schaffen — kritischer denn je.
Wir verpflichten uns, progressive, linke, radikale, antirassistische, experimentelle und visionäre Filme zu präsentieren, die Themen wie Umwelt, Menschenrechte, soziale Ungerechtigkeit, Anti-Globalisierung usw.behandeln.
Das Radical Frame Film Festival zeigt jedes Genre des unabhängigen Films aus der ganzen Welt während dieser unglaublichen bikontinentalen Feier unabhängiger Künstler.
Das Radical Frame Film Festival ist ein Forum, in dem Filmemacher außerhalb der Mainstream-Arena gedeihen können. Kreative Künstler, die kontinuierlich die Grenzen in Film, Video, Kunst und Musik durchbrechen, werden durch dieses Festival gefördert, so dass auch sie eine Stimme in einem Markt mit kommerzieller Unterhaltung haben, der den Erwartungen des Publikums gerecht wird.
Die Short Film Series stellt wahrhaft unabhängige Kurzfilme ins Rampenlicht, die von neuen und etablierten Filmemachernkreiert wurden
Der Zweck ist es, jedem unabhängig von Land zu erlauben, zu seinen Träumen zu treten und die Schritte zu unternehmen, um das Leben mit Leidenschaft und Zweck zu leben.
Der Schwerpunkt der Kurzfilmserie ist es, ein Ort zu sein, an dem aufstrebende Filmemacher und Künstler auf der ganzen Welt eine Chance haben, entdeckt zu werden und ihre Träume zu erfüllen.
Es wird persönlich mit Online-Aktivitäten abgehalten.
Es findet vom 1. bis 6. April 2025 in den Städten Lebu, der Hauptstadt der Provinz Arauco, und in der Stadt Concepción in der Region Biobío in Chile statt. Mit nationalen und internationalen virtuellen Unterorten für die Ausstellung von Wettbewerben. Seit 2018 ist CINELEBU das einzige Festival in Chile, das Kurzfilme in drei Kategorien für die Oscar® Awards qualifiziert: Internationale Animation, Regionale Fiktion und Internationale Fiktion. Seit 2023 qualifiziert es sich für die Goya Awards und Marca Chile.
This year will be looking for answers to the following and to raise a few more question.
What do our audiences really want Film Festivals to be?
What do filmmakers really want from Festivals these days?
Very few can be markets or premieres, even publicity machines. How can we deepen the utility of festivals for the creative community?
Festivals deliver intelligent and engaged audiences to the films. Can we deepen the relationship between the fans and the creators?
How do we utilize cinema’s power to activate?
Can we work together so that films gain better momentum festival to festival and unleash the power of the combined festival community in some way?
Are we utilizing the strength of the festivals as an information gathering and dissemination tool as fully as we might?
What information is not being gathered when we collect films and crowds and can we change that?
This is the data age. Are we embracing transparency as fully as we might?
As trusted curators of this colossal heap of cinema culture, how do we really make a difference on a long term basis?
Is a short burst of guidance enough?
Growth requires consistency and do we provide that?
We are the filter, the trusted source. Film festivals are discovery platform for films that might otherwise be ignored. How to carry that over to the online environment?
How do we transform young people into loyal cinema lovers?
We are losing the youth. Can we stem the tide?
