12. Dada Saheb Phalke Filmfestival-22, Delhi NCR, Indien
Feiern von Exzellenz im Kino
Das Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival ist ein gemeinnütziges, nicht-kommerzielles und indisches einziges unabhängiges Filmfestival, das im Jahr 2011 in Delhi NCR gegründet wurde, um das Kino und die Arbeit aufstrebender, junger, unabhängiger und professioneller Filmemacher zu feiern. Das Festival ist wichtig für die indische Filmindustrie, da es jedes Jahr am 30. April anlässlich des Geburtstages von Late.Shri organisiert wird. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, der als Vater des indischen Kinos gilt und von der Filmbrüderschaft in ganz Indien & Globus liebevoll als Dada Saheb Phalke erinnert wird. Ziel ist es, das aufschlussreiche, unterhaltsame und fortschrittliche New Age Kino von Jugendlichen und erfahrenen Filmemachern anzuerkennen.
In den vergangenen Jahren gewinnt das Festival einen Ruf und gilt als eines der renommiertesten Festivals in Indien. Das Festival wächst im Laufe der Jahre und zieht Filmemacher aus ganz Indien und über 90 Nationen auf der ganzen Welt an. Das Festival hat Abschnitte für Spielfilme, Kurzfilme, Dokumentarfilme, Animationen, Musikvideos und Werbefilme. Das Festival vergibt die Filmemacher in den Kategorien Produktion, Kreativ, Musik & Performance.
Das 12. Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-2022 zielt darauf ab, die Exzellenz im Kino zu feiern. Dada Saheb Phalke begann die Bewegung des Kinos in Indien im wirklichen Sinne und er ist das Symbol der Exzellenz. Sein Beitrag zum indischen Kino ist unparallel. Heute berührt das indische Kino sowohl in Bezug auf Inhalt als auch Technologie den Himmel, aber es ist erwähnenswert, dass es von der legendry Dada Saheb Phalke gestartet wurde und wir es nur weiterführen.
Das von der Educationexpo TV gegründete Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-22 bietet Filmemachern die Möglichkeit, ihre Kreativität zu präsentieren. Während das Festival Filmemachern jeden Alters offen steht, sind wir der Meinung, dass es genauso wichtig ist, dass wir die Teilnahme von Mitgliedern und Profis des Filmemachens unterstützen und fördern sollten, auch wichtig ist, dass wir die zukünftigen Mitglieder der Unterhaltungsindustrie finden und pflegen.

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.
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.
