Bukarester Kurzfilmfestival [BSFF]
Independent ist das Schlüsselwort für das Bucharest Short Film Festival [BSFF], da es von unabhängigen Filmprofis gegründet wurde und sich auf unabhängige Filmkünstler aus aller Welt konzentriert. Das Bucharest Short Film Festival zielt darauf ab, die professionellsten, innovativsten und interessantesten internationalen Kurzfilme anzuerkennen, zu präsentieren und zu verbreiten, wobei unabhängige Kurzfilme stets Priorität haben.
Das Bucharest Short Film Festival zeigt einige der besten internationalen Kurzfilme in den Bereichen Erzählung, Animation, Studenten, Experimental, Dokumentarfilm, Musikvideo und Menschenrechte. Wir nehmen uns die Menge an Arbeit, die in jeden Film gesteckt wird, zu Herzen. Daher stellen die Festivalregeln sicher, dass jeder Film mindestens zweimal rezensiert und von unserem Team gut diskutiert wird. Einige der ausgezeichneten Filme werden auch auf anderen internationalen Filmfestivals gezeigt.
Unabhängige Künstler und ihre Kurzfilme treffen auf ein sprudelndes und mit Kino- und Filmfestivals sehr erfahrenes Publikum, das qualitativ hochwertige Networking und ansprechende Möglichkeiten gewährleistet, während die ausgewählten Filme von einer Gruppe von Branchenexperten bestimmt werden.
Das Bucharest Short Film Festival baut eine starke Interessengemeinschaft um internationale unabhängige Filmprofis und Filmliebhaber auf, im Herzen einer der interessantesten aufstrebenden Kunst- und Kulturhauptstädte, einer Stadt, die niemals schläft - Bukarest.
Das Festival wird Filmvorführungen veranstalten, denen Fragen und Antworten der Künstler vorausgehen oder folgen, oder Networking-Nebenveranstaltungen und sicherlich Partys, die alle auf verschiedenen konventionellen und unkonventionellen Bühnen in Bukarest stattfinden, wie in Kinos, Freiflächen und sogar Sommertheatern. Bukarest, Sie haben irgendwann davon gehört — eine Stadt für junge Leute. Bekannt für verschiedene Dinge - wie den Spitznamen „Altes Paris“ in seiner bürgerlichen Zeit, vor den Jahrzehnten des Kommunismus, oder das größte Parlamentsgebäude der Welt [und eines der größten Gebäude jeglicher Art], aus seiner Zeit des Kommunismus, neue Architektur oder die explosive zeitgenössische Kunstszene, und das auch ziemlich beeindruckende Underground-Kunst-, Musik- und Nachtleben-Gemeinschaften in seiner heutigen Zeit.

Hence at PFI our motto is, and we thrive to be the "Voice of the Voiceless".

Fiffen is a voluntary initiative, set in to motion in 2017 as a movie fest. It's arranged by Florø Filmklubb, a filmclub that was hailed as the best in Norway in 2016.
The first year we didn't really know what we wanted, we applied for som money, and when we got it we had to use it, so we made a festival that was more or less like a filmclubseason, comprised to eight days. Showing more or less well known movies.
For the next year, and the next version of Fiffen, we took it a bit further than that. We opened up for admissions from aspiring moviemakers from around the world, short or feature length. The main objective of the Festival is to inspire affection and enthusiasm for film, and encourage and abet film production among unestablished filmmakers. These days we all walk around with equipment for making movies in our pockets, the smart phone, and we would like to encourege people to use them to create something.
We also want to show the people that the cinema doesn't have to belong to Hollywood. That it can be something more than just something created to sell pop corn.
We still didn't know what we were doing last year, but we made a festival, and we showed some films. We had a lot of fun doing it, and have decided to try and build something from this mess that we made. Once again we want you to send us our films, of any kind really, but we have som rules to try and keep our job making a selection manageable. Please read!
