FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de eventos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.
Festival President and Artistic Director Gabriel Daniel Dorobantu is having the pleasure of welcoming you to The Third Edition of The Moonlight Online International Film Festival which is organized and administered by the Swedish creation, production and distribution company Dorobantu Film & Television.
The Festival aims to promote original feature films and short films of high artistic quality and to support independent cinema worldwide.
In addition to the awards, both among the films submitted to the Festival but not selected and among the films selected for Festival participation, feature films and short films with high market potential may also be selected for film sale and / or distribution agreement proposals. (In such cases, the rights holders of the respective films will be contacted by the festival management office within three months after the festival.)
Competitive festival of short films with a 2SLGTBIQ+ theme, produced in the 24 months prior to the event, held in the town of Sitges (Barcelona - Spain).
The Festival is being held for the third time in Barcelona, preserving the essence of this unique cinematic experience. The aim of the Festival is to present Spanish and international audiences with a selection of Argentine short and feature films, in an effort to highlight contemporary artistic trends and the talented Argentine filmmakers, featuring films produced from January 2025 to the present day. This edition of the Festival seeks to build cultural bridges between Argentina and Spain through the seventh art. We believe the festival will be an effective means of fostering mutual understanding and strengthening the ties between both nations.
Likewise, we hope this event will provide an opportunity for the Argentine community in Barcelona to strengthen its cultural bonds, and for Spanish and Catalan audiences to appreciate and discover the richness of Argentine cinema. The initiative has been enthusiastically received by both the local community and residents interested in exploring contemporary Argentine cinema.
Individual objectives:

Please submit documentary, animation, and performance art that explores or evokes poetry.

We encourage experimental filmmakers to submit work that operates within or outside of the realm of poetry. Artists’ moving image, avant-garde, and slow cinema filmmakers are encouraged to do the same. The Symposium highlights essay film, epistolary film, and oratorical works this way as well.
DEADLINE: August 31, 2026

THE SYMPOSIUM EXPERIENCE
The Film and Video Poetry Symposium is a 28-day annual event that is rooted in Los Angeles, CA.
Venues range from micro-cinema to architecturally significant facilities. We host a video art gallery for the duration of the event and occasionally present satellite programming internationally.
The Symposium has hosted with Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Maysles Documentary Center, Boston Court Performing Arts Center, The Getty Villa, Arts on Site NYC, Sheen Center for Thought & Culture, Cinema Kosmos Moscow, PAM, Revive Theater LA, and the University Library of Leuven.
All events presented by the Symposium are free to the public.
We value risk and audacity, but not at the expense of the quiet and mundane. Each year, submissions from poets, filmmakers, and artists arrive with a collective yet distinct voice. Programmers discern and frame that voice. As a result, we present a higher-than-average proportion of submissions.
Past collaborators, programmers, speakers: actors Robert Davi and Anatoliy Beliy, filmmakers Lynne Sachs, Nick Zedd, and Lili White, CUFF's Brian Ratigan, architect Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong, poets Kazmier Maślanka, Gabriele Tinti, and Cornelius Eady, Sundance Fellow Tony Patrick, Film Scholar Laura U. Marks, and the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation.
The Symposium draws a general audience alongside poets, filmmakers, students, scholars, cinema enthusiasts, and public officials from around the world. In-person discussions, Q&As, and reflective engagement are facilitated. Participants also benefit to the fullest extent our resources allow, including free lodging when possible, travel, visa assistance, and opportunities for meaningful networking and professional visibility.

Islands in music & video
Oceans and seas cover 71% of the earth's surface, produce half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb 25% of carbon dioxide, capture 90% of the additional heat generated by these emissions and feed 3, 2 billion people. The oceans, seas & marine resources, lungs of the earth, are essential for sustainable development.
Promoting the heritage and creativity of the world's islands and caring for the oceans & seas is a major factor in developing the blue bio-economy, which is why we adopted it as the main axes of our cultural and media project.
The islands of the world, through the oceans and the continents of the planet, conceal important cultural and patrimonial wealth, as much by their variety, their specificity as by their authenticity. The islanders, being cut off from the continent, are forced to live in osmosis with their environment, to vibrate to the rhythm of the elements of their natural setting, and to dominate the rigors of their daily life by giving free rein to their creative imagination and their innovative spirit. In this perspective, artistic creativity is the best support for the expression of their dreams, their emotions & their collective memory
We are an International Short Film Festival, which works in the Dissemination and promotion of Venezuelan cinematography, Latin American and worldwide in four countries simultaneously;
And of all its cultural scope. Try to show cinematographic works that entertain, but above all, that exert an influence education in children, youth and the general population.
