The ArtCity Short Film Festival (Est. in 2014) celebrates the art of film making by setting the stage for independent filmmakers from Cameroon and the Rest of the World, to showcase their film talent and be discovered. This will be the 3rd edition of an annual event. For this 3rd edition, we are anticipating over 800+ short films submissions from around the globe. ArtCity Short Film Festival aims to rapidly become a well-known venue for writers, producers, and actors to screen a variety of independent short films, while also providing workshops with industry professionals for budding filmmakers and film enthusiasts alike.
Just like the first and the second, the 3rd edition will take place in Buea (Cameroon). This represents a moment of huge cultural importance for the projection of short films. Local and international film-making setups are invited to meet on common ground, using one language… The one we all love and know best – Film!
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"

- Rete
- cerimonia di premiazione
Fondato nel 2002, Yogyakarta, Festival Film Dokumenter (FFD) è il primo festival di documentari in Indonesia e Sud-Est asiatico, concentrandosi sullo sviluppo del film documentario come mezzo di espressione e ecosistema di conoscenza, attraverso mostre, educazione e archiviazione.
Esplorando il concetto nato in una leggera conversazione tra un gruppo di giovani, ha cercato di esplorare il potenziale grezzo del cinema indonesiano: il mezzo documentario. Alcuni tratti differenziano i film documentari da altri prodotti audiovisivi, un luogo significativo come media che educa, riflettendo, trascende il tempo e lo spazio.
In mezzo alla forte corrente dei mass media, i film documentari hanno il proprio ruolo di media indipendenti e aspirazionali.
Nella sua celebrazione annuale ogni dicembre, Festival Film Dokumenter cerca sempre di osservare alcune questioni sociali come suo focus, oltre a creare un ponte tra documentaristi, registi professionisti e pubblico generale, allo scopo di migliorare la qualità e la quantità dell'Indonesia film documentari.
