PHILOSOPHY
What drive us:
A contest dedicated to transcendental free cinema, at its several meanings, including philosophic, psychological, scientific, anthropological, spiritual and poetic cinema.
Because transcendence in the man and the world, might be eventually ineffable and, on this, cinematographic art has certain advantages, and a huge responsibility.
FREE CINEMA
All cinematographic possibilities are welcome, with a major interest on rareties
WITHOUT TIME
Cinemística as an open space-time, with non restrictive features, enabling the authors to develop their own language: all formats, duration, nationality, year of production, etc. are accepted.
A REFUGE
An international refuge for films that intend, technically or with the plot, an approaching to the big mystery of world representation, in the art and in the man. Without dogmas, under any individual or collective perspective, from faith, but also from agnosticism, spiritual atheism and scientific thought.
A POETIC CINEMA OF CONTEMPLATION
Filmmakers' looks, in all their socio-cultural diversity, interested in any film as a result of personal discovering, researching or experimentation, inspiration and work, from revelation or introspection of the authors. Quotidian, ecstasy and disparity as structures to create depth on the film treatment.
ASCETICISM
Mysticism and asceticism in film production represent, probably, a more absolute estate compare to others, because a cinema with huge budget and more technical complexity could be done, but sometimes the most humble and simple film is, however, universal.
THE STILL
Impermanent cinematographies, from the still, from 'amateur' cinema (from French verb aimer), define directors not only by what they show and how they do it on screen, but by what they decide not to show.
PHENOMENOLOGY
What appears and disappears, topologies emergence, materials or conscious, and their invisibility or subsequent expiration. The sequential surroundings of emptiness, of matters and time. Shafts at the discourse, eloquent, everyone can understand it by himself. Absence and miracle: Mystic as a possible cohabit together.
CORDIALITY, COMMUNICATION & COLLOQIUMS
Great importance of the colloquiums and live interaction between spectators and filmmakers. maximum communication, respect, sympathy and closeness from the organization to the filmmakers, artists and directors who come to present their films.
The first and the most important Freak Festival in Spain. We also accept horror and fantastic film. With an audience of 2.000 people every day from monday to friday and we would love to screen your shortfilms.

Short Outline:
nineteen successful years of the ‘International Low and No Budget Short film-sharing Festival’ has inspired us to continue despite the disheartening of the cultural institutions.
Budgets for culture and the arts are being cut or axed. However, humour is when, in the face of adversity, you can still laugh! This year, we will defy commercialism and
capitalism and raise up our ‘Low and No Budget Film Festival’ with the opening in Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Mainz.
Moreover, we will continue to
offer the ever increasingly popular internet forums, which publishes the un-filtered short films, as an antidote [AA antithesis, counter platform]. We will be showing the s
ubmitted films on the big screen to the interested public who can discuss and talk together before, during and after the films. We will be showing the Film Festival Programme at selected cinemas. The festival is a non-profit endeavour and a large part of the entrance tickets will remain with the cinema operators to cover their costs.
We will show all short films under 15 minutes and we look forward to receiving new productions as much as older short films or even youthful follies or transgressions!
The audience itself decides at the open screenings in April and May which films will be included and shown in the July Festival Programme.
Internet: www.film-sharing.net
History:
The annual Film Festival was established in Vienna in 2003. Since then it turned into an annual event and has expanded mostly in Germany.
The main venues are now Stuttgart, Heilbronn and Mainz All films are collected and complied and then shown at these locations. Film makers, who fall loosely under the ‘independent film makers’ category, from throughout the world, submit their short films.
Annually, we receive about 3,000 films which we then sort and compile into thematic genres.
Point of Special Attention:
The Film Festival does not award any material or monetary prizes, rather it proudly offers the broad public and large audience. A prominent feature is the so-called
‘open screenings’ that present the full and rich character of the films including those that that receive less public attention. Over 200 people come together in both
cultural centres and restaurants to rate the submitted films from over 50 countries.
We will show all short films under 15 minutes and we look forward to receiving new productions as much as older short films or even youthful follies or transgressions!
The audience itself decides at the open screenings in May which films will be included and shown in the July Festival Programme.
All film makers, whose film is shown, will receive a laural and the Film Festival programme brochures.
Horrorant Film Festival ‘FRIGHT NIGHTS’ is an international horror film festival organised by a genre film distributor and held annually at the best equipped theatres in the heart of Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece.
The International Documentary Film Festival of Uruguay began in Atlántida, the summer retreat of Alberto Mántaras—one of the pioneers of Uruguayan documentary filmmaking—and a place of refuge for Pablo Neruda. It is one of the first seaside resorts east of Montevideo, located just a few kilometers from the airport and offering ideal infrastructure for hosting a festival. A beautiful coastal town with a beach and a historic hotel that once welcomed notable figures such as Gardel, García Lorca, Mirtha Legrand, and many other celebrities of the 1930s.
Year after year, the festival expanded throughout the entire country, driven by the desire to reach more people, especially in Uruguay’s interior, where the best documentaries in the world do not always arrive. Public television channels support us, but it is never enough—particularly considering that around 600 films are submitted each year, and we only have the capacity to program the 100 that are selected.
This creates a double commitment: on the one hand, to the filmmakers who place their hopes in being part of Atlantidoc’s program; and on the other, to a diverse audience that must leave the comfort of their homes to attend a screening and watch a documentary we have selected, trusting our judgment—always guided by the pursuit of formal and narrative quality. One day we hope to have a streaming platform that will allow us to reach audiences more directly, more comfortably, and more effectively.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
In this part of the world, excellent documentaries are produced, yet we face challenges in theatrical and festival programming. This is why we created Atlantidoc in 2006: a festival that seeks to give documentaries the recognition they deserve.
Since then, it has grown every year, expanding across the whole country and throughout South America. With professional juries, significant awards, and high-level training programs, Atlantidoc is an international festival inspired by decentralization.
Our experience in festival organization dates back to 1982, with notable achievements such as Divercine, which ran for 30 years, and the First Animation Film Festival of Uruguay in 2005. We draw inspiration from the Documentary and Experimental Film Festival of SODRE from the 1960s.
Since the very first edition, we have invited to Uruguay the best documentary filmmakers we could bring—many of them outstanding—resulting in clear and lasting benefits for documentary filmmaking in the region. Uruguayan cinema cannot exist without co-production, and this has been at the core of our work since the beginning.
The Córdoba International Horror Film Festival is a cultural event positioned as one of the leading platforms in Argentina and Latin America for the exhibition, training, and development of genre cinema.

Seoul International ALT Cinema & media arts Festival (NeMaf) is the annual festival that shows media-based art with innovative spirit in its themes and forms.

It has been founded and showcased more than 2,000 media-based works and discovered 1,000 artists since it was founded in 2000.

The 8th-10th of May 2026 will see the inaugural Working Class Film Festival take place at The Showroom, Sheffield. Submissions for film and moving image of all types and lengths are invited from producers, directors and writers that hail from a working class background.
The festival aims to highlight the talent of a wide and underrepresented demographic within the film industry; with only 8% of people working within the creative sector being born into a working class family. A key remit of the inaugural weekend is to highlight the many intersections of the working class paradigm, including gender, race and sexuality. The concluding aim of the first year is a will to recognise and journey beyond the kitchen sink into realms of the fantastic, horrifying and wonderful, with a strong encouragement for genre cinema to be submitted.
We welcome submissions in any and all languages.
We are keen to platform those in financial difficulties and waiver codes are available via email.
KIZOKU Exchange is a curated cinematic Exchange focused on CAPITAL · INTELLIGENCE · SYSTEMS · VISIONARY VENTURES.
The Kizoku Exchange is not a traditional film festival; it is a Strategic Narrative Marketplace.
We evaluate narratives for their underlying intent—what a story is truly saying about power, strategy, innovation, or systems—not just plot. We provide a bridge between elite filmmakers and the worlds of capital, industry, and infrastructure.
THE FIVE TRADING PITS
We look for "Architects" who produce work—both modern and historical—that aligns with our four primary sectors:
CAPITAL | Markets & Geopolitics: The flow of wealth, mastery of risk, and how global power shifts affect the economy. Includes investment banking and capital market mechanics.
INTELLIGENCE | Strategy & Maneuvering: The art of outthinking an opponent. Includes military doctrine, espionage, geopolitical power plays, and high-level corporate strategy or espionage.
SYSTEMS | The Infrastructure of Order: Deconstructing the complex networks that run our world—financial systems, political frameworks, global logistics, and supply chains.
VENTURE | Innovation & Brand Heritage: The blueprint of achievement. Profiles of entrepreneurs, legacy brand stories, and pioneers who disrupt industries and build empires.
INTERFACE | Works focused on perception authority, behavioral influence, branding, aesthetics, and the external mechanics of commanding attention and social behavior.
Don’t just screen your film. Brief the Industry.
Most festivals give you a laurel leaf. We give you a Seat at the Table.
Narrative Intelligence Vetting: Your work is analyzed for deep intent, not just plot.
Direct Line to Buyers: Your film enters the private screening rooms of TV channels, publishers, brands and distributors.
The Winner’s Gallery: Permanent streaming on Kizoku Media—acting as your 24/7 digital broker to global industry players.
