CATACUMBA UNDERGY FILM FESTIVAL è un progetto culturale, artigianale e resistente che dal 2000 si sviluppa nel comune valenciano di Godella e che utilizza come spina dorsale la proiezione di recenti opere audiovisive che coesistono durante la celebrazione di questo particolare festival.
Alla sua 17a edizione, il festival mira a raccogliere proposte cinematografiche indipendenti che offrono una prospettiva alternativa creata dalla trasversalità che il linguaggio cinematografico permette. Opere che in qualche modo sovvertire la morale, smantellano le repressioni, le nostre filie e le fobie e che evidenziano i difetti strutturali della società in cui viviamo. A margine dell'industria dello spettacolo troveremo proposte che ci possono portare verso diversi modelli di espressione che permettono al cinema narrativo di tornare alla categoria espressiva che cerca di invitare la riflessione. Forse se è strano è perché rimane nascosto dalla percezione e dai sensi.
Comprendiamo che la produzione cinematografica sta vivendo un processo creativo che esalta la fusione tra generi, alimentando l'originalità e la diversità del mezzo, attribuiamo a tutte queste possibilità. Da CATACUMBA vogliamo riflettere questa realtà creativa, dando spazio ad un maggior numero di opere, a volte inclassificabili, ma che agiscono come specchi della strana realtà che viviamo.
In cortometraggi e lungometraggi avrete la possibilità di sentire tutte le paure, i sogni, le fie e le fobie che i nostri registi intendono trasmettere. Conoscerete generi una volta ingiuriati e sottovalutati, ma che hanno avuto titoli trascendentali nella storia del cinema e che sono diventati autentici referenti della filmografia universale. Riflettendo il cinema della nostra realtà sociale, il cinema che ci convince di più ogni giorno che la realtà supererà sempre la finzione.

FesticineKids 26 è un festival internazionale di film per bambini e giovani a Cartagena de Indias, è un concorso cinematografico che orienta i suoi sforzi verso il rafforzamento della produzione e della distribuzione del cinema colombiano, latinoamericano e mondiale per bambini e giovani.
Nel 2024, FesticineKids raggiunge la sua 26a edizione con lo stesso spirito di mettere in risalto e celebrare il cinema per ragazze, ragazzi e giovani. La frase è stata scelta come slogan: UNO SGUARDO AL WEST COLOMBIANO. Partendo da questo concetto si intende invitare bambini e giovani a essere consapevoli della responsabilità che hanno di essere agenti di cambiamento nei loro ambienti. I bambini e i giovani sono il futuro che dovrebbe incoraggiare la cura del nostro pianeta terra, degli esseri umani che li circondano, degli animali e delle piante, nonché dei luoghi che visitano. La tendenza ai film afro e a quelli orientati alle popolazioni indigene.
Nella costruzione del profilo del FesticineKids 26, lo schermo viene problematizzato come punto di confluenza di ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti. Postulando il cinema come quello scenario in cui si esprimono sentimenti, emozioni e convinzioni, si intende che ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti, comprendendo ciò che il cinema li evoca, cosa ne estraggono e i suoi significati, si interrogino sul posto che il cinema ha nella loro vita, nel loro ambiente, parallelamente al luogo che vogliono e sognano.
È anche un'opportunità per adulti, genitori, insegnanti, autorità culturali e cinematografiche, di riflettere sulla necessità di rafforzare le loro capacità di essere formatori in tensione e interazione con i media audiovisivi, in particolare il cinema.

Il concorso cinematografico internazionale Adventure Movie Awards seleziona, ogni anno, alcuni tra i migliori corto e medio-metraggi di avventura del panorama mondiale.
Una vetrina di film che intendono l’Avventura come esplorazione, esperienza e sfida con se stessi, ma anche come libertà e immersione nella natura. Quell’avventura che affascina, incuriosisce e un pò spaventa, quello spirito libero che spinge l’uomo a lasciare ciò che è certo e a dirigersi verso l’ignoto, a spingersi oltre e provare i propri limiti.
L’obiettivo è premiare i filmati che siano in grado di tradurre sullo schermo il significato di Avventura e che, attraverso le immagini e i dialoghi, riescano a trasmettere emozioni, passioni e sogni. Non solo pura azione, ma storie di vita.

MISSION
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival, creates reflections based on film, diverse artistic and academic proposals, individual and organizational experiences, and social movements, in order to generate an interdisciplinary analysis that impacts commonly widespread approaches to gender.
WHAT IS IMPERFECTU?
With the word “imperfectu” we give new value to the concept of imperfection, against the overvalued concept of perfection. The ending “-tu” avoids the use of spanish language gender morpheme (imperfecto/imperfecta) in the adjective of the noun “imperfection”, while referring to the spanish pronoun “tú” (you) in order to intervene in the relationship with those who read us, alluding them/you in the word: Imperfectu. This play on words then continues and extends between English and Spanish: I’m perfect u, Imperfect u, or I’m perfectu. “Imperfectu” is a proposed adjective that seeks to identify those who have been positioned outside the norm because they somehow transgress the binary system of sex, gender, and heteronormativity.
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival explores, through film, art, and gender studies, the infinite possibilities that the fields of sex, gender, and sexuality offer us, questioning the convictions to which the standardized system of gender and sexual normativity limit us.
The festival implements an analysis and multiple reflections that affect the representations commonly disseminated with respect to gender. The proposal defends the diversity of identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations, while encompassing varied and alternative feminisms.
Imperfectu was born in the city of Tijuana the first days of April 2014 with the idea of consolidating an annual meeting with local, national, and international representation, by the end of July 2015 it returns with a second edition, and in 2016 travels to Mexico City for its third edition.
In 2017, the fourth edition will be held in Tijuana, Mexico, from November 16 to the 18. This edition of Imperfectu will have as its central axis the relationship between Body, Science, and Technology. The objective is to bring interested audiences a programing that showcases cinema that has been and is being made surrounding various topics, such as: postgenderism, cyberfeminism, cyborg anthropology, disability and transhumanism, the intersex body and medicine, the transgender body and medicine, gender / sexuality and robots, the future of contraceptive methods, eugenics, girls / young women and new technologies, queer/cyborg identity and aesthetics, rejuvenation technology, and immortality.

Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee
25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World
“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle
“Sundance may have sold out, but SF IndieFest keeps it real” – Annie Lo, Flavorpill
“While the Bay Area is flush with festivals, this one remains an under-the-radar standout.” – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
“The San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the Bay Area’s version of Slamdance, provides a showcase for edgy cinematic work — and a great excuse to do some serious partying.” – David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
"The movie business is in a perennial state of constant tension between ambition and collaboration, joyful inventiveness and jaw-dropping paydays. This roiling undercurrent, usually invisible to the public, gushes to the surface in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony. There is an antidote, however, to Hollywood’s annual backslapathon: SF IndieFest. The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a beacon to anybody excited by the basic impulse of making movies. In its heart of hearts, IndieFest is a celebration of the minor miracle of finishing a film and getting it up on a screen in front of a live audience." - Michael Fox, KQED
“For many independent filmmakers, festivals such as SF Indiefest—aka the San Francisco Independent Film Festival–are the only way to bring their works before an audience. For filmgoers, SF Indiefest is the place to see original cinematic works created by directors who want to tell edgy stories which come from their hearts and souls. While some have bemoaned the death of cinema, the curators and filmmakers at SF Indiefest are keeping the craft of film alive.” – David Elijah Nahmod, SF SOUNDS
“SF IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program and take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece, but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise.” -Michael Fox, KQED

FILMMAKER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
"Hey Jeff: Just want to shoot you a quick note of thanks on hosting us at IndieFest and giving us our World Premiere. We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the fest and in SF; it's a great vibe and the diversity of features and shorts in the program made for a really exciting and energized atmosphere. "- Max Gardner, Go/Don't Go
"Festivals bring unexpected benefits. Festivals are essential for brand creation. Premiering at Tribeca was enough to convince people to at least listen to me, but surprisingly it was the San Francisco Indie Fest that was just as crucial for our theatrical release. Our press from this festival helped convince the Red Vic to book us in April (I thank the amazing S.F. publicist Karen Larsen for convincing me of this in advance). We also incorporated festivals into our broader theatrical release, and while we did not claim them as cities in our 17-city count, they helped give us something to crow about."

"I've got to tell you that Indiefest was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I tell all filmmakers - and festival organizer friends of mine - how you run your fest and how you run each film twice. Every single time people look at me with shocked disbelief. Truly, Bonnie and I loved being a part of the event.
Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"
