On the occasion of the Obesity Day 2017, the Bariatric Center of Excellence - Sapienza University of Rome, in partnership with the City of Latina and « Amici Obesi » Onlus, organizes the second edition of Filmdipeso Short Film Festival.
The Festival aims to increase public awareness of the issues that living with obesity and eating disorders raises, through the screening of short films, which may also include patients’ testimonials of their treatment courses.
The mission of Filmdipeso Short Film Festival is to disclose the social, psychological and interpersonal impact of obesity and eating disorders on teenagers and adults.
The formal acknowledgement and recognition of obesity and eating disorders as diseases permits not only to approach new treatment opportunities, but also to dismantle prejudices and misconceptions.
With a look to the future of Independent Film, the Cutting Edge Film Festival has officially opened its call for entries for feature length and short length films of all genres.
Our festival is looking for the highest caliber of films that audiences can’t, and won’t forget, films created on the cutting edge of imagination, vision, and excitement while incorporating the best filmmaking into the art of the story.
For our 2018 festival, we shall be accepting all films of all lengths and genres including Documentary, Experimental, Religious/Spiritual, Animation, Comedy, Horror, with Horror sub-genres that include Supernatural, Thrillers, Wicken, Magical, Slashers, Science Fiction, Suspense, Horror Documentary, Horror Animation and all genres of Music Videos and LGBT films for the 2018 festival.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival sees film as an art form that has the power to bridge cultures and illuminate the universality of the human experience. Our festival seeks to enrich, to educate, and to entertain the world through the medium of film, and to unveil each filmmaker’s unique vision as a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and passion.
Our festival is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization which endeavors to promote the best filmmakers and their films to an ever-growing worldwide audience as a powerful medium that inspires creativity, encourages introspection, and compels the exploration of the senses, and expands the imagination.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival brings all the new technologies to bear and offers an event for the next step in film festival evolution. Now in the new millennium of filmmaking, our festival takes a leap forward and pierces the veil between the worldwide film audience and independent films with a cutting edge virtual theater that crumbles the boundaries that have in the past limited those who could partake in each filmmaker’s vision captured on film.
Much like with the digital technology that has swept independent film festivals throughout the world since the early 2000s, for many reasons the virtual theater is quickly becoming the first, best choice for festivals, and the new home of Independent film screening worldwide.
The virtual theater is the future of film festivals, as more and more festivals are now screening films online, and even the big festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival are moving to online screenings.
Festivals are making the leap to cyber screenings because of many reasons, including that it allows for so much more exposure for the films. It is expected that just like the extinction of the 35mm projectors that were replaced with digital, one day in the not too distant future all film festivals will screen almost exclusively online, with only a few live presentations, if any.
Unlike most other Film Festivals, ours is different because it offers a unique method of viewing films in an online film festival that is totally secure and safe for a filmmaker’s project, and even those that provide online festivals cannot duplicate the safety and security that our virtual theater offers.
Very different from other festivals streaming films online, films in this festival cannot be downloaded, the films HAVE NO EMBEDDING CODE and our HTML code if copied and pasted, the films will not play, therefore they CANNOT be placed on other websites.
The only time and place they can be viewed is in our festival. In short, we have gone to great lengths to set this system up to protect the safety and security of each filmmaker’s film always keeping the filmmaker in mind. Basically, it is just as secure as a brick and mortar theater screening, only much better.
The virtual theater system and screening platform is completely secure and can be viewed from any computer, and mobile device.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival is opening the doors and tearing down the walls between independent films, and the audiences who love them so much, allowing the world to share in their power and passion.
Cutting Edge Film Festival awards outstanding filmmakers and their work with Best of Genre Awards, along with an Audience Choice Award.
Film Selections Will be Announced October 6th, 2018
Our festival will take place October 18th, 2018, through October 27th, 2018

The Flagler Film Festival was formed to showcase the work of new and emerging filmmakers as well as more experienced filmmakers. We believe there are many creative and innovative artists who deserve recognition for their efforts, especially those constrained by low budgets. We believe that sometimes even more creativity is required when a filmmaker has little or no budget with which to create a film. We believe these films should be seen and be recognized for the efforts of the teams that put them together. The writers, directors, crew, actors and all the talented people involved in the production of a film, whether it is a feature or a short, deserve to have a chance to be seen. We are proud to give filmmakers an opportunity to show their work.
Our fourth annual Flagler Film Festival showcased many fantastic films from around the world, including a short animation which was nominated this year for an Academy Award! Films produced by students from Florida State University, NYU, University of Virginia, Savannah College of Art & Design, Full Sail University, and the American Film Institute were screened as well as films from graduates of many other fine colleges and universities. We were proud to showcase local filmmakers as well as filmmakers from such diverse locations as Luxembourg, Spain, France, Rwanda, Australia, Nepal, Canada, Serbia, Iran, and Peru. As an artistic community, we enjoy including musicians, writers and artists at our festival as well as filmmakers. This year our special guest was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Steve Boone, of the '60's band The Lovin' Spoonful. Steve met many of our audience and signed CDs, albums and his new book, "Hotter than a Match Head: On the Run with the Lovin' Spoonful." We showcased a short comedy from actor Chris Roach who currently stars on CBS in "Kevin Can Wait" with Kevin James. One of our documentaries, "Daddy Don't Go" was recently picked up by Starz and will be available to the public!
The third annual Flagler Film Festival was proud to showcase amazing films from around the world. We had a film about a Grammy-nominated children's choir from Uganda called "Imba Means Sing" (now in national distribution), a documentary film by an Emmy Award winning filmmaker, a film narrated by the Academy Award winning, legendary actress Olivia De Havilland, two films which won student Emmy Awards and two films which were screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner. We were very proud to be the only festival in Florida to screen "Animals" an independent feature film written by and starring David Dastmalchian (Ant Man, The Dark Knight) now in national distribution. In addition, we had a terrific assortment of low budget, independent and student films which amazed our audience. Over 20 films had representation at the festival with lively, emotional and intelligent Q&As after the screenings. See our website for videos of the Q&As in addition to the list of films, extensive press and awards.
So far, two of our Best Documentary Feature Nominees from our 3rd Annual Festival have announced national distribution deals. Both "My Father's Vietnam" (winner) and nominee "Mount Lawrence" will be seen this spring on VOD platforms as well as other formats, including theatrical. Please see their websites or IMDb for more info and congratulations to them from the festival!
Our second annual festival showcased excellent student and small budget films as well as films with extraordinary credentials, including a film written by two-time Academy Award winning screenwriter, Horton Foote (To Kill a Mockingbird). We were proud to have as our special guest, Laura Tyler, make up artist known for her work on "Face Off" and "Hunger Games." She did a special live demonstration for our audience by turning an actor into a zombie! Also in attendance was actress Evalena Marie (Serena and the RATTS, Dark Haul, Remains) representing the indie feature "Visionary." Our festivities concluded with a champagne awards celebration on our last evening.
We are very proud that several of our official selections from our first two years have received distribution and can be seen on Blu-Ray, DVD and streaming sites. Many of our selected films have gone on to win many awards at festivals around the world. We wish much success to all the filmmakers out there!
Flagler Film Festival announced our new association with Renny Roker, film and television actor, writer and producer. Renny has appeared in or starred in 47 films and over 400 television episodes in his career. He is currently producing new projects in the Flagler County area. He also mentors college students and does charity work. We are thrilled to have his support and through his worldwide contacts in the film industry, we will be expanding our presence in the festival world.
Flagler Film Festival was inspired by the amazingly talented people we have met who perform all the hard work that is required to make a film. We recognize that there are many creative filmmakers who are looking for a place to showcase their work. We are located in a relaxed, pristine beach area with community members who support the arts. Galleries, live theater and now a film festival are part of our small city located in beautiful Flagler County, Florida. Our coastal location is within a short distance to many Florida attractions.

Das 2016 gegründete TRAVEL FilmFest International Film Festival ist eine gemeinnützige Nichtregierungsorganisation. Unsere Mission ist es, alle Arten von Reisen und Outdoor-Sportarten zu fördern, unabhängige Filmemacher zu identifizieren und zu unterstützen und Filme zu drehen, die die Aufmerksamkeit aller Reise- und Outdoorsportliebhaber auf der ganzen Welt verdienen. Indem wir Reisefilmer aus allen Teilen der Welt zusammenbringen, möchten wir, dass sie Feedback von Geschäftsreisenden, Sportlern und der Filmwelt sowie von den breiten Teilen derer, die gerne reisen und sich im Freien aufhalten, erhalten.
Das Travel FilmFest International Film Festival sammelt die besten Reise- und Outdoor-Sportfilme aus der ganzen Welt, die sowohl von Profis als auch von Enthusiasten gedreht wurden, und trägt dazu bei, sie dem Publikum zu vermitteln.
Wir lassen nur Filme über Reisen und Outdoor-Sportarten zu, sowohl moderne als auch historische. Ebenso wie die Filme, in denen Reisen oder Sport im Freien ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Zusammenfassung sind. Spiel-, Produktions-, Animations- und Dokumentarfilme über alle Arten von Reisen, Outdoor-, Extremsportarten und Abenteuern auf dem Wasser und in der Luft, an Land und darunter, in den Bergen und Wäldern, auf Meeren, Flüssen, Seen, Sümpfen, über Wandern, Skitrekking, Fahrten mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln, mit Fahrzeugen und Motorrädern, Fahrrädern, Trampen, Bustouren, Pilgerreisen, Weltreisen... sowie Filme über Kulturen, Traditionen, Lifestyle, Geschichte, Länder, Auswanderer, Wildtiere und Natur, Welt um uns herum.
Nicht alle Schöpfer von Reise- und Outdoor-Sportfilmen sind unbedingt Profis, die in der Filmindustrie oder im Fernsehen arbeiten. Dies ist nur ein Hobby für die Mehrheit der Teilnehmer. Dies bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass ihre Filme schlechter sind. Die ursprüngliche Geschichte, die im Film erzählt wird, spielt eine weitaus wichtigere Rolle als sein Budget oder die Auszeichnungen seines Schöpfers. Sie können einen guten Film drehen, auch wenn Sie kein großes Budget, keine herausragende Besetzung und kein großes Produktionsteam haben. Du hast die Schlüssel zum Königreich. Mach weiter!
Alle offiziell ausgewählten Reise- und Outdoor-Sportfilme werden vom 20. bis 26. Oktober 2025 gezeigt und können sich um den Hauptpreis und die Titel „Bester Reisefilm“ und „Bester Outdoor-Sportfilm“ kämpfen. Sowie für die Preise in den eigenständigen Nominierungen.
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.
Der Zweck des Festivals bezieht sich auf die Sensibilisierung sowohl für die externen Filter auf der Leinwand, einschließlich der Zensur (kommerziell, ideologisch, ästhetisch), als auch für die internen Filter der Bildschirmwahrnehmung und Projektion, einschließlich Selbstzensur. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO ist eine Untersuchung der Ästhetisierung und Kommodifizierung in der Kunst. Das nächste Ziel des Festivals ist es, die Komplexität, Vielfältigkeit und Vielfalt des Filmemachens aufzuzeigen.
NEFILTRAVANAE KINO ist ein Filmfestival, das vom Short Movie Club, der Plattform für Filmprojekte, veranstaltet wird. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO ist für den ADAMI-Medienpreis qualifiziertes Festival. Die International Film Studies Conference findet gleichzeitig mit dem Filmfestival statt. Auf diese Weise werden Filmtheorie und -praxis im NEFILTRAVANAE KINO zusammengeführt.
Ursprünglich fand das Festival in Belarus statt, aber aufgrund der politischen Repression und der öffentlich bekundeten Antikriegshaltung können Vorführungen und Veranstaltungen in verschiedenen Ländern abgehalten werden. Zuallererst in Litauen (Vilnius). Zum Beispiel fand letztes Jahr das 10. Nefiltravanae Kino in Berlin, Vilnius und Helsinki statt. Es wurden 63 Filme für 12 Filmprogramme ausgewählt. https://shortmovie.club/programmes/10-2024/
Das Konzept des NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (Unfiltered Cinema):
PROBLEM DER ENTFREMDUNG
Wir leben in einer Welt der Einkaufszentren und Kinomultiplexe. Wir sehen, dass Indie-Kino und Kunst, die nichts mit Waren zu tun hat, an die Peripherie der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit geraten. Primitive Attraktionen ersetzen die Kinematographie. Das Fluchtpublikum ist hinter der großen Leinwand entfremdet. Das moderne Mainstream-Kino ist also Teil eines Manipulationsinstruments, das zu einer Gesellschaft der Entfremdung führt. Daher besteht die Tendenz, dass das Indie-Kino für ein breites Publikum immer unlesbarer wird. Wir sollten den Kontext des Filmemachers verstehen, um das unabhängige Kino zu verstehen. Aus diesem Grund impliziert das Konzept von NEFILTRAVANAE KINO die physische Präsenz von Filmemachern.
PROBLEM BEI DER FILMAUSWAHL
Filmemacher drehen Millionen von Filmen. Und Tausende von Kurzfilmfestivals organisieren jedes Jahr Vorführungen auf der ganzen Welt. Im Durchschnitt werden mehrere tausend Filme für ein Filmfestival eingereicht. So können verschiedene gute Filme aus irgendeinem Grund vernachlässigt werden. Oft ist die Auswahl der Wahrscheinlichkeit wie ein Lottogewinn. Infolgedessen erhalten Filmemacher kein Feedback. Es ist paradox, dass dich im Zeitalter des Internets niemand hören kann! Die Mainstream-Kultur bevorzugt Attraktionen und ungezwungenes Beobachten.
Diese Idee basiert auch auf dem Problem der Filmauswahl. Vielleicht ist es keine Überraschung, dass eine Person, also bestenfalls der Programmdirektor, oder sogar Studenten von Filmhochschulen eine vorläufige Entscheidung treffen, einen Film auszuwählen. Die Übereinstimmung von Richtern oder Vorschauern ist eher selten als die Verschiedenheit der Herkunft und des Geschmacks. Die Auswahl oder Beurteilung kann also einseitig oder oberflächlich sein. Das ist nicht schlecht, da der Programmdirektor natürlich einen guten Geschmack und ein ästhetisches Feingefühl hat. Aber wir haben ein anderes Konzept von „ungefiltertem Kino“ entdeckt. Wir haben es mit den „Besten der Besten“ verglichen. Dieser Weg hilft, die filmische Sprache ohne das Diktat der Kunstkuratoren wahrzunehmen.
FEIER DES INDIE-KINOS
Das Unfiltered Cinema Film Festival versucht also, den Weg des „Besten vom Besten“ zu vermeiden, ignoriert ihn aber natürlich nicht völlig. Das Festival wählt die Bereiche Fiktion, Animation, Dokumentation, Experiment und virtuelle Realität aus. Eine Jury prämiert den besten Film in jeder Sektion. Das Festival veranstaltet Vorführungen in Kinos, im Nationalen Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst und in Kunsträumen.
Unser Ziel ist es, Menschen in der Kunst zusammenzubringen, einen Dialog zu führen, um mit intelligenter Kommunikation glücklich zu sein. Kino ist Kunst, aber kein Sport. Der Kernpunkt unseres Projekts ist die Kommunikation zwischen dem Filmemacher und dem Publikum.

FILMMAKER TESTIMONIALS:
"Telluride Horror Show is one of the most exciting fests operating today. The scenery is unmatched and the passion of the programmers is obvious with the killer lineup each year. I'm totally honored to have been some small part of it for two years. I think people will be kicking themselves when the fest becomes this unstoppable giant and they didn't get in on it early. I'm mostly excited because it's a festival that offers so many experiences - it can be a nonstop party or a totally laid back weekend of movies in the mountains - whatever kind of time a guest wants to have, you guys make happen. That's why I pledge allegiance to Telluride Horror Show."
- Mickey Keating, Director (Psychopaths, Darling)
"Great audience and goddamn, Telluride is a slice of heaven! What an amazing place!"
- Greg McLean, Director (Jungle, The Belko Experiment, Wolf Creek)
"Telluride Horror Show is by far my favorite film festival. The scenery is awe-inspiring, the crowds are bursting with energy and the films are handpicked by some of the most genuine fans of the genre. I couldn't recommend it enough!"
- Damien Leone, Director (Terrifier, All Hallows' Eve)
"Telluride Horror Show was fantastic to my film and a wonderful place to have our world premiere. Great staff, full crowds, and a beautiful town. Couldn't ask for a better experience."
- Michael Peer, Director (Doll), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection
"If somebody asked me, 'Should I go to Telluride Horror Show?' I would say, 'Go. Now. Don't hesitate. It's one of the best festivals in the country!'" - Jeremy Robert Johnson, 2017 Guest Author
"Telluride Horror Show is known for its tremendous shorts programming, and the fans certainly come out for it."
-Meredith Borders, Birth.Movies.Death
"This festival was amazing. Telluride is gorgeous and the people are extremely friendly. The festival director Ted is a really genuine guy. Everyone is grounded, down to earth, and humble. From Brad to Jeff to Catherine to rest of the employees - I had a fantastic time. Definitely in my top festivals and would love to attend again."
- Nikhil Bhagat, Director (As They Continue To Fall), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection
"Whether I have a film playing next year or not I'll be back because seriously, there is no cooler town to spend the weekend watching some fun movies with good people! Not the easiest place to get to which goes to show you how fantastic of a show they put on because I met horror fans that came from all over. Every screening I attended was packed and with some of the best audiences I've encountered. Don't miss this one!"
- Anthony Cousins, Director (When Susurrus Stirs), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection
“The festival was very well organized, and the response from the audiences at the screenings was a wonderful experience. Telluride itself was absolutely beautiful, and the organizers treated us extremely well. We can't wait until next year's festival.”
-Tom Holland, 2010 Telluride Horror Show Guest Director (Fright Night, Child's Play)
"A full roasted pig, with the fat-saturated eyeballs up for grabs in the lobby of a gorgeous old opera house teeming with horror filmmakers and fans is how the Telluride Horror Show kicks off every year. And we couldn't have asked for a better festival to premiere our film "The Battery" in. Ted, the festival director and his team bend over backwards to accommodate traveling filmmakers; and the audience is a lively mix of horror and film fans, critics, writers, and rabble-rousing locals. The town is absurdly intimate in a way that makes for near constant run-ins with attendees looking to jaw about movies over a beer or a great cup of coffee between screenings all day. And all of this is to say nothing of the view: a majestic frontier town just begging for a Leone-style showdown nestled in the palm of the most classic, craggy, snow-capped mountains one could imagine. Waking up there every morning is a true privilege, with every window in every building looking out on an Ansel Adams shot brought to striking life. If there weren't enough reasons for a filmmaker to finally finish that movie they've been talking about and send it kicking and screaming out into the world, then Telluride Horror is one more. Just writing about it now is enough to make me long for October again, and has me hoping I've got another film ready in time to enjoy the reception all over again."
-Jeremy Gardner, Director (The Battery), 2012 Telluride Horror Show World Premiere

Die Ajayu Film Association lädt in Koproduktion mit Sapa Inti Estudios nationale und internationale Filmemacher ein, am 10. Ajayu International Animation Festival teilzunehmen, das vom 26. bis 29. November 2025 in Puno, Peru, stattfindet.
Seit seiner Gründung hat sich Ajayu als eines der peruanischen Festivals etabliert, das ausschließlich dem Animationsfilm gewidmet ist, und als wichtige Plattform für die Bildung, Verbreitung und Sichtbarkeit von Animationsfilmen aus den südlichen Andengebieten. An diesem zehnjährigen Jubiläum bekräftigt das Festival sein Engagement für die Dezentralisierung der Kultur und fördert eine vielfältige, zugängliche audiovisuelle Industrie mit eigener Identität.
Das zentrale Thema dieser Ausgabe lautet „Geschichten, die den Frieden erzählen“, ein kuratorischer Schwerpunkt, der einen Teil des allgemeinen Programms bestimmen wird und in einem speziellen Abschnitt behandelt wird. Dieses Thema setzt jedoch keine Teilnahme voraus, da die Aufforderung zur Einreichung von Beiträgen für animierte Werke aller Themenbereiche offen ist.
Ajayu ist nach wie vor ein Ort der Begegnung, Ausstellung und Reflexion über Animation als künstlerische Sprache und Mittel zur sozialen Transformation. Die ausgewählten Werke werden Teil der offiziellen Ausstellung des Festivals sein und ein aktiver Teil eines kuratorischen Prozesses sein, der zehn Jahre Geschichte feiert.
Experimental Forum is an international performance, film and video art festival showcasing experimental film and artists’ moving image from new directors and innovative video artists from around the globe, with the third edition taking place in Los Angeles in November 2018. Our aim is to provide a supportive platform for the exciting and challenging work that is outside the scope of mainstream film festivals and art galleries.
We welcome experimental cinema pieces (abstract, narrative or documentary), video art works, essay films, artists’ moving image and media art, as well as documentary and narrative films that seek to expand, redefine or reconfigure the means and ends of their respective fields. Experimental Forum exists to provide access to, and develop audiences for, artists’ moving image work and is committed to engaging local audiences with new and/or unheard voices in film.
We are particularly interested in works made by early stage filmmakers and artists whose work is underrepresented. We provide a collaborative platform for moving image works made for the gallery and for the cinema with the aim of building a community across disciplinary and institutional faultlines.
