El Festival Internacional de Cine UNAM fue concebido por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México en 2011 como un festival abierto a la investigación y exploración académica del cine, y como una importante ventana de exhibición en México para películas independientes del mundo incluyendo los géneros de documental, ficción e híbridos.
Desde nuestra primera edición nos dedicamos a presentar películas cuya exhibición es de difícil acceso en nuestro país y nos interesamos por explorar las propuestas vanguardistas del cine, con especial interés en el aspecto formal de las películas y en su convergencia con otras disciplinas artísticas. Pensamos tanto en el trabajo de jóvenes talentos como en el de directores consagrados, así como en películas avaladas por festivales internacionales de primera línea.
FICUNAM es un festival que apuesta por la creación de un nuevo público y por la difusión de la cultura cinematográfica.
Gracias a la colaboración con la Filmoteca de la UNAM y con importantes instituciones internacionales como la Cinemateca Portuguesa, quien durante nuestra sexta edición colabora con un programa del cineasta Paulo Rocha, hemos redescubierto parte importante de nuestro patrimonio al rescatar algunas joyas cinematográficas de sus archivos.
FICUNAM es posible gracias a la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), a la Coordinación de Difusión Cultural, a la Dirección General de Actividades Cinematográficas, Filmoteca UNAM; al Centro Universitario de Estudios Cinematográficos (CUEC), al Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (CONCACULTA), al Instituto Nacional de Cinematografía (IMCINE), y al conjunto de empresas e instituciones que con su invaluable apoyo hacen realidad este proyecto.
On 18th January 2016, the purposes of the “3rd MERCY TO UNIVERSE INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM COMPETITION” to be organized by AL-SIRA FOUNDATION are about our prophet Mohamed’s life and universal messages , to create awareness in the movie industry for making short film and to support the short film makers.

Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee
25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World
“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle
“Sundance may have sold out, but SF IndieFest keeps it real” – Annie Lo, Flavorpill
“While the Bay Area is flush with festivals, this one remains an under-the-radar standout.” – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
“The San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the Bay Area’s version of Slamdance, provides a showcase for edgy cinematic work — and a great excuse to do some serious partying.” – David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
"The movie business is in a perennial state of constant tension between ambition and collaboration, joyful inventiveness and jaw-dropping paydays. This roiling undercurrent, usually invisible to the public, gushes to the surface in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony. There is an antidote, however, to Hollywood’s annual backslapathon: SF IndieFest. The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a beacon to anybody excited by the basic impulse of making movies. In its heart of hearts, IndieFest is a celebration of the minor miracle of finishing a film and getting it up on a screen in front of a live audience." - Michael Fox, KQED
“For many independent filmmakers, festivals such as SF Indiefest—aka the San Francisco Independent Film Festival–are the only way to bring their works before an audience. For filmgoers, SF Indiefest is the place to see original cinematic works created by directors who want to tell edgy stories which come from their hearts and souls. While some have bemoaned the death of cinema, the curators and filmmakers at SF Indiefest are keeping the craft of film alive.” – David Elijah Nahmod, SF SOUNDS
“SF IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program and take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece, but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise.” -Michael Fox, KQED

FILMMAKER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
"Hey Jeff: Just want to shoot you a quick note of thanks on hosting us at IndieFest and giving us our World Premiere. We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the fest and in SF; it's a great vibe and the diversity of features and shorts in the program made for a really exciting and energized atmosphere. "- Max Gardner, Go/Don't Go
"Festivals bring unexpected benefits. Festivals are essential for brand creation. Premiering at Tribeca was enough to convince people to at least listen to me, but surprisingly it was the San Francisco Indie Fest that was just as crucial for our theatrical release. Our press from this festival helped convince the Red Vic to book us in April (I thank the amazing S.F. publicist Karen Larsen for convincing me of this in advance). We also incorporated festivals into our broader theatrical release, and while we did not claim them as cities in our 17-city count, they helped give us something to crow about."

"I've got to tell you that Indiefest was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I tell all filmmakers - and festival organizer friends of mine - how you run your fest and how you run each film twice. Every single time people look at me with shocked disbelief. Truly, Bonnie and I loved being a part of the event.
Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"

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.

Now, in alliance with the Journalist/Director Luis Franceschi, both working together to achieve a successful launch of the festival this year in Mendoza, Argentina. The idea of it is to promote the audiovisual arts around the world and give the opportunity to others to show their work and dedication for this type of art. We believe that by helping each other grow, we can all make it, and what better way to show our work than a festival?
