L’associazione culturale La Guarimba ha come obiettivo quello di riportare il cinema alla gente e la gente al cinema.

Le concours s'adresse aux cinéastes du monde entier qui produisent des courts métrages et des documentaires.
Son objectif est d'évaluer les courts métrages et les documentars-films dont le but est l'expressivité et la divulgation culturelle, en lançant un événement cinématographique dans tout le Val d'Intelvi.
12e Festival du film Dada Saheb Phalke 22, Delhi RCN, Inde
Célébrer l'excellence dans le cinéma
Le Festival du film Dada Saheb Phalke est un festival de film indépendant à but non lucratif, sans but lucratif et le seul festival indépendant de l'Inde, créé en 2011 à Delhi NCR avec pour mission de célébrer le cinéma et le travail de cinéastes aspirants, jeunes, indépendants et professionnels. Le festival est important pour l'industrie cinématographique indienne car il est organisé chaque année le 30 avril pour marquer l'anniversaire de naissance de Late.Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, qui est considéré comme le père du cinéma indien et se souvient avec affection de Dada Saheb Phalke par la fraternité du cinéma de l'Inde et du monde entier. Son objectif est de reconnaître le cinéma du nouvel âge éclairant, divertissant et progressiste des jeunes cinéastes expérimentés.
Au cours des dernières années, le festival gagne en réputation et est considéré comme l'un des festivals les plus prestigieux d'Inde. Le festival se développe au fil des ans et attire des cinéastes de partout en Inde et plus de 90 pays à travers le monde. Le festival comprend des sections pour les longs métrages, les courts-métrages, les documentaires, les animations, les vidéoclips et les films publicitaires. Le festival récompense les cinéastes dans les catégories production, création, musique et performance.
Le 12e Festival du film Dada Saheb Phalke 2022 vise à célébrer l'excellence du cinéma. Dada Saheb Phalke a commencé le mouvement du cinéma en Inde dans un sens réel et il est le symbole de l'excellence. Sa contribution au cinéma indien est sans pareil. Aujourd'hui, le cinéma indien touche le ciel en termes de contenu et de technologie, mais il convient de mentionner qu'il a été lancé par le légendaire Dada Saheb Phalke et que nous ne faisons que le faire avancer.
Fondé par Educationexpo TV, une entreprise leader dans le domaine de la recherche et de l'image de marque dans le domaine du divertissement et gérée par Miniboxoffice, Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-22 offre aux cinéastes l'occasion de mettre en valeur leur créativité. Bien que le festival soit ouvert aux cinéastes de tous âges, nous pensons que tout comme il est impératif de soutenir et d'encourager la participation des membres de la communauté cinématographique et des professionnels, il est également important de trouver et de cultiver les futurs membres de l'industrie du divertissement.
LA Underground Film Forum (LAUFF) est la première vitrine d'expérimentation à Los Angeles dans les médias cinématographiques, vidéo et audio. Elle se concentre sur le cinéma d'avant-garde, d'art, indépendant et à faible budget, avec la cinquième édition qui aura lieu en juillet 2020 à Los Angeles.
Notre programme permet aux cinéastes de réinventer et d'explorer de nouvelles approches, de favoriser de nouvelles formes d'art médiatique et de créer un public pour de tels travaux. Nous visons à présenter un large éventail de travaux explorant les nombreuses définitions et interprétations du concept de « souterrain ».
Nous recherchons des films réalisés avec passion, obsession et dynamisme ; des films qui dépassent les attentes et le genre ; des films, des projets vidéo et audio qui cherchent à repousser les limites de la forme et du contenu acceptés. Un fort sens de la paternité est un must.
LAUFF accepte toutes les formes et tous les genres : du drame, documentaire, expérimental, culte, art-house, langue étrangère, comédie, horreur, science-fiction, fantasy, animation, LGBT, indigène, érotique au slow cinéma et art vidéo...

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
The growing need to champion GOOD has never been more apparent. In the face of this, we, especially storytellers, are not powerless. Stories are powerful. Stories plant ideas, thoughts and emotions into an audience. Telling the story of a real person, for example, can humanize an abstract issue, or a far-distant conflict and convert it into something relatable. Science proves the brain synchronizes with the subject of a well-told story. Stories move people in a way that facts and figures alone never will. Film works to enhance this power of storytelling by touching our hearts over our rational minds.
As you look across your world and your immediate community, are there stories that matter to you? Can you shed light through a story that could inspire people to take interest, care and take action towards positive change?
We challenge you to tell these stories in your own way to, first and foremost, make your viewers feel. Whether it’s a strong sense of compassion, empathy, inspiration, outrage, awe, or all of the above, many of us have experienced that moment where you wished you could do something after watching a powerful film.
We then challenge you to take this a step further to harness that very moment. Come up with specific actions, big or small, so your viewers can be a part of that change you envision and mobilize for you as they watch. We are looking for short films that have the potential to go viral. Films that you just can’t help but share to have more people be informed and engaged. There is a magic quality to this type of content. You know it when you see it. Will you be able to capture this magic in your film and harness it? Storytelling combined with social actions can lead to impact. We are ultimately looking for short films and campaigns that have the potential to exemplify this power of storytelling to create more GOOD in our world.
The festival entries must be submitted in the form of impact film campaigns via UPTOGOOD.org. You must complete the Submission Form and submit your Impact Campaign by 3/24/17 5pm PST
We screen the best documentaries from around the world at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendared runs at the Roxie later in the year. We get great press coverage in San Francisco, the second largest film market in the country, plus industry reviews.
San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our fest has built a passionate following over the past 24 years.
LAST YEAR'S PRESS COVERAGE: https://sfindie.com/press-coverage
SF DocFest is an annual festival devoted to documentary cinema. Since 2001, this event has brought the most weird and wonderful aspects of real life to the big screen.
"What makes the scrappy San Francisco Documentary Film Festival a treasure to SF Bay Area filmgoers is its willingness to take that extra step to show films a little more out there than bog standard documentaries." - Peter Wong, Broke Ass Stuart
“Docfest offers a zippy blend of politics, music, social issues and youth-oriented subcultures. The good news is that DocFest promotes documentaries as a vibrant, irreverent form of entertainment to a younger demographic, blasting the notion of educational films to smithereens. There’s no room for anything approximating — watch it, I’m about to blaspheme – the obsessively measured and utterly somnambulant musings of Ken Burns.” – Michael Fox, KQED
“Since its inception, DocFest (May 31-June 15 at the Roxie and the Vogue, with opening night at Alamo Drafthouse) has compiled a colorful scrapbook of genuine characters in contrast to the current events survey, educational seminar or social-issue forum that defines many documentary series… There are one or two people in Off the Charts you won’t soon forget, which could be said about nearly every film in DocFest. That’s one of the pleasures of scrapbooks.” – also Michael Fox, KQED
Michael Fox just loves DocFest, here's another:
"Welcome to SF DocFest, the beloved annual compendium of odd, unusual nonfiction films from every nook and corner of our bizarro country and beyond. Waving off the pedigreed, high-profile docs that premiere at Sundance, get theatrical releases (or these days, national virtual releases) and chart a course for the Academy Awards, SF DocFest’s programmers opt for poignant, intimate works that miss the mainstream by dint of their iconoclasm and/or lack of a marketing hook." -KQED
"This week brings the kickoff to the 20th edition of SF Docfest, the rapidly-becoming-venerable nonfiction showcase that nonetheless continues to put the fun in documentary cinema appreciation. While other such showcases tend to be soberly issue-themed, focusing on the environment, activism, or some such, Docfest pursues—though not exclusively—colorful human interest stories, musician profiles, and other subjects on which there will not be a class quiz afterward." - Dennis Harvey, 48Hills

WHY THIS FESTIVAL ?
This festival is to be focused on this type of films. You will have specific recognition for the documentary you made, in a festival dedicated to documentaries.
Why is this so important ? Because sometimes, documentaries are just another category in some film festivals. We think documentaries deserve more attention, and we want to contribute giving it to them.
WHAT WILL BE OUR SELECTION ?
We will only select and screen short documentaries, not over 15 or 20 minutes maximum. If you made a full feature documentary, we will not be able to select it yet, but maybe in the years to come.
We are seeking for original documentaries, that can explore the world for us, bring some issues and analysis to the table, whether you shot it with a DSLR or a top 4K+ camera.
We accept all themes and langage. If not english speaking we require english subtitles.
SCREENING
A selection of the winners will screen on 2018, May 4th, in Los Angeles. The award give away will take place at the same time, on the evening.
L'objectif du festival fait référence à la fois à la prise de conscience des filtres externes présents à l'écran, notamment la censure (commerciale, idéologique, esthétique), et des filtres internes de perception et de projection de l'écran, y compris l'autocensure. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO explore l'esthétisation et la marchandisation dans l'art. Le prochain objectif du festival est d'exposer la complexité, la multiplicité et la variété du cinéma.
NEFILTRAVANAE KINO est un festival de films organisé par le Short Movie Club, la plateforme dédiée aux projets cinématographiques. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO est un festival qualifié pour le prix ADAMI Media. La Conférence internationale d'études cinématographiques se tient en même temps que le festival du film. Ainsi, la théorie et la pratique du cinéma sont intégrées au NEFILTRAVANAE KINO.
À l'origine, le festival se tenait en Biélorussie, mais en raison de la répression politique et des positions anti-guerre déclarées publiquement, des projections et des événements peuvent être organisés dans différents pays. Tout d'abord en Lituanie (Vilnius). Par exemple, le 10e Nefiltravanae Kino a eu lieu à Berlin, Vilnius et Helsinki l'année dernière. 63 films ont été sélectionnés pour 12 programmes de films. https://shortmovie.club/programmes/10-2024/
Le concept du NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (Cinéma non filtré) :
PROBLÈME D'ALIÉNATION
Nous vivons dans un monde de centres commerciaux et de cinémas multiplex. Nous constatons que le cinéma indépendant et l'art non marchand sont relégués au second plan de l'attention du public. Les attractions primitives remplacent la cinématographie. Le public évadé est aliéné derrière le grand écran. Le cinéma grand public moderne fait donc partie d'un outil de manipulation qui mène à la société de l'aliénation. Le cinéma indépendant a donc tendance à devenir plus illisible pour le grand public. Nous devons comprendre le contexte du cinéaste pour comprendre le cinéma indépendant. C'est pourquoi le concept NEFILTRAVANAE KINO implique la présence physique des cinéastes.
PROBLÈME DE SÉLECTION DE FILMS
Les cinéastes tournent des millions de films. Et des milliers de festivals de courts métrages organisent des projections dans le monde entier chaque année. En moyenne, plusieurs milliers de films sont soumis à un festival de films. Ainsi, divers bons films peuvent être négligés pour une raison quelconque. Choisir la probabilité revient souvent à gagner au loto. Par conséquent, les cinéastes n'ont aucun feedback. C'est un paradoxe que personne ne puisse vous entendre à l'ère d'Internet ! La culture dominante préfère les attractions et les visites décontractées.
Cette idée est également basée sur le problème de sélection des films. Il n'est peut-être pas surprenant qu'une seule personne, dans le meilleur des cas le directeur du programme, ou même des étudiants d'écoles de cinéma prennent la décision préliminaire de sélectionner un film. La concordance des juges ou des préviseurs est plus rare qu'une différence d'antécédents ou de goûts. La sélection ou le jugement peuvent donc être unilatéraux ou superficiels. Ce n'est pas mal car le directeur du programme a bien sûr bon goût et une bonne sensibilité esthétique. Mais nous avons découvert une autre conception du « cinéma non filtré ». Nous l'avons comparé à « la meilleure des meilleures » méthodes. Cette méthode permet de percevoir l'idiome cinématographique sans être dictée par les curateurs d'art.
CÉLÉBRATION DU CINÉMA INDÉPENDANT
Le Unfiltered Cinema Film Festival essaie donc d'éviter « le meilleur des meilleurs » moyens, mais il ne l'ignore pas complètement, bien sûr. Le festival sélectionne des sections de fiction, d'animation, de documentaire, d'expérimentation et de réalité virtuelle. Un jury récompense le meilleur film dans chaque section. Le festival organise des projections dans les salles de cinéma, au Centre national des arts contemporains et dans des espaces artistiques.
Notre objectif est de rassembler les gens autour de l'art, d'avoir un dialogue pour être heureux grâce à une communication intelligente. Le cinéma est un art, pas un sport. Le point clé de notre projet est d'établir une communication entre le cinéaste et le public.
