The Fish&Chips Film Festival – International Erotic Film Festival wants to open, in Turin and in Italy, a window on film genre and create an opportunity to approach sexuality in a creative, free, innovative, lay, irreverent and intelligent way. The Festival aims to be a moment of liberation and expressive creation and it will take place in January 2020 in Turin, Italy.
We believe in eroticism as a basic need of human beings and we want to show sex from different points of view, be they psychological, physical or social, but in any case liberating and non-discriminatory.
We want to research and propose a quality cultural production, able to go beyond the simplistic and abused canonical approaches. We are going to select works with cinematographic significance, able to convey a unique vision upon a broad and varied world, ranging from love to eroticism and pornography.
The festival is meant to be a moment of reflection and enjoyment, which includes debates, exhibitions and shows. For our third edition, we welcome any experimentation, smashed peas, proposals and other pleasantries. We believe expression, sexual and thought freedom to be a key feature for the creation of a more challenging horizon.
Sex has always driven many of our decisions and that’s where we have decided to start from!
Il Festival accetta film di interesse per persone gay, lesbiche, bisessuali, intersessuali e transessuali. Per partecipare alla sezione competitiva (premi), questi film non avrebbero dovuto essere programmati in TV, proiettati in luoghi commerciali o in altri festival spagnoli esclusi quelli organizzati dalla Fundacion Triangulo. In ogni caso, il copyleft o il copyright dovrebbero essere successivi al 2024.

Film is an international medium that has its roots in the American inventors and entrepreneurs. This spirit is felt in every word of a script, every frame, every cell and every pixel of film produced around the world.
The American Film Award is a recognition of what it means to have that founding motivating force. It is much more than a trophy, it is a message that the spirit of film is alive.
The American Film Award is a mark of excellence in Film Craft.
The PDXtreme Film Fest is the best damn genre festival Portland Oregon has ever seen! Taking place over 3 days at the historic Laurelhurst Theater, we showcase horror, crime, dark comedy, and everything in-between. Tales of the grotesque, the limits of the psychological, and bumps in the night whatever the cause! Does it take place in space? That's cool too.
This will be our fourth year! Continuing the traditions of the first 3 years, you can expect trophies, free beer for attending filmmakers, and no repertory films. In our first season we played 32 short films, and 13 feature films. Last year we screened 54 total films. It’s more badassness than should be allowed in one weekend!
Screening takes place at the Laurelhurst Theater, a legit theater that serves beer, wine, and pizza. In less than a minute you can walk to a variety of restaurants, bars, and other examples of Portland life.
We promise a rollicking good time and a slate packed with great films. We can't do that without the filmmakers, so submit your films now! International films accepted. Diversity and originality are not only welcome, but also encouraged. Absolutely no ratings restrictions, ever.

Fidé è un festival in Francia interamente dedicato al documentario studentesco internazionale. Si tratta di qualsiasi lavoro filmato, sonoro o multimediale che si appoggia alla realtà e che è stato realizzato durante gli studi del regista. Vi partecipano università, scuole, workshop e studenti di tutto il mondo, per circa 600 documentari iscritti ogni anno. I suoi principi sono quelli della promozione e della celebrazione delle creazioni studentesche, tranne i soliti circuiti, nei quali raramente trovano il loro posto.
Il festival non ha restrizioni della data di produzione o sostegno originale, soggetto o durata.
I registi di tutte le nazionalità sono invitati a iscriversi i loro film. Sono richiesti sottotitoli in francese o inglese.
Il prossimo Fidé si svolgerà nell'aprile 2021, nei sobborghi parigini.

Voces Contra el Silencio, Video Independiente A.C., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, con il sostegno di TV UNAM e dell'UNAM Film Archive, invitano i registi a partecipare alla quattordicesima edizione dell'Incontro di film documentari e video indipendenti ispanoamericani: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces, che si terrà dal 4 al 12 settembre 2026, a Città del Messico e in diversi stati della Repubblica messicana, in un formato ibrido.
L'obiettivo principale di Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces è quello di fungere da finestra che riunisce il cinema documentario indipendente di Messico, America Latina e Spagna, attraverso spazi liberi, accessibili e aperti che abbracciano una diversità di prospettive, incoraggiano l'azione collettiva e promuovono reti di collaborazione a sostegno dello sviluppo del genere documentario e della costruzione di una società più giusta, equa e tollerante.
Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces ha esplorato nuove alternative espositive audiovisive, raggiungendo con successo un pubblico che non aveva mai immaginato in precedenza. Per questo motivo, in questa tredicesima edizione ha deciso di mantenere un formato ibrido composto da: attività di persona in varie sedi di mostre cinematografiche alternative; contenuti on-demand sulla piattaforma MXPLUS; e trasmissioni sui canali televisivi pubblici di Città del Messico (Canal 11, Canal 21, Canal 22 e TV UNAM), nonché sui canali pubblici di altri stati del paese. Pertanto, la partecipazione a questo invito implica l'accettazione che il documentario sarà esposto in questi tre formati durante la quattordicesima edizione dell'Encuentro Hispanomaericano de Cine y Video Documental Independiente: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces
Cinema Crianza è il primo festival internazionale del cinema per bambini in Galizia.
Nasce dalla volontà di promuovere un gusto per il cinema tra i più giovani, contribuendo ad educare un pubblico futuro con sensibilità artistica, interesse culturale e spirito critico nei confronti del consumo audiovisivo.
Crediamo che un festival cinematografico come questo debba trasmettere la diversità dei film per bambini, contribuendo a stimolare la curiosità dei bambini. Nel processo di alfabetizzazione audiovisiva dei bambini nel mondo di oggi, riteniamo che l'accesso al più vario assortimento di opere possibile sia essenziale per lo sviluppo di una comprensione di questa arte, in modo che non sia limitato ai prodotti del consumo nel delicato momento della gioventù.
Berlin Revolution Film Festival is an annual event where we promote and celebrate films not tied to big production companies, institutions or TV stations.
We look for unconventional and underground films made with a personal voice and style. Simply put – we're looking for the next generation Art House!
We first and foremost seek bravery, a lust to experiment and express using the medium of Film, regardless if the film maker is an amateur starting out or an established professional.
Experimental, Fiction, Documentary, Animation and all sorts of genres – anything goes as long as the banner of Independence is held high. Attention in the selection process will be given to artistic originality and creativity.
Participating at the festival should be a valuable experience, and something film makers look forward to return to. To encourage and support this we provide accommodation to all selected film makers in Berlin for the Festival. And we have a category for previous participants where they have a carte blanche to screen their new films.
We also invite and pay for accommodation for film organizations attending the festival such as film critics, festivals, film clubs, producers etc that have focus on True Independent Cinema. All to make it a both friendly, relaxed and valuable experience for everyone attending.
So far we have screened hundreds of films from more than 50 different countries such as Brazil, Iran, USA, Russia, Sweden, Lebanon, Tunisia and of course Germany to name a few. We've also been blessed to have film makers visiting the festival from many of these countries.
We work to establish a platform that isn't than just a "one and done" event, but rather the opposite where the first experience with screenings, meetings, networking and fun is just the first of many to come. We work to make it a festival film makers return to - to show their new works but also to meet up with others they met the first time around, to see what they have done and to discover new films, meet new people to network and have fun with.

Feedback, Review & Festival Consideration
It's frustrating to be declined and not get to know why. However, it can also be frustrating submitting to a festival and be forced to pay a higher fee because it includes feedback you're not interested in.
We work diligently, with care and dedication when putting the program together and when it comes to feedback for the submissions we do the same thing. This is why we divide our categories so that feedback is separate from the submissions and is an in-depth review rather than a small note.
Feedback is given by our head programmer Andrija Jovanovic and is an extensive analysis and review of the film and it's different components. Film language, dramaturgical storyline, pacing, technical aspects of grading, compositing and editing, acting etc. It's direct, honest and constructive.
If you wish to submit a film and also get feedback, please choose the matching category.
***
We have no hard rules, but the following tend not to be a good fit for us:
- Films that seek to educate and teach the viewers
- TV-format films and headshot interview based documentaries
- Music videos and films solely driven by soundtrack
We spend months carefully watching and programming our festival selection. Presenting the best possible program we can is what our festival is built upon. Submitting to the festival is to pay to have the film considered and is not a guarantee to have it selected. We receive hundreds of submissions each edition and only around 5% are selected. Please make sure that you wish to submit before doing so.
