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!

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.

About the Festival
“Animax Skopje Fest” is the first animated film festival in Macedonia. We regard it as a unique opportunity to present local Macedonian creative potential in their home country; the audience will get a clear picture of what is currently in Macedonia created in this field. The festival is by nature competitive and is open to animators from around the world. The main reason why we decided to organize an international festival of animated film in the Republic of Macedonia, is the desire and need for this animated film to get a wide door in Macedonia.
Profile and Mission
The festival is the right address for anyone interested in animation as a way of communication, as a way of expanding horizons, as an effort to support a cultural form and spend leisure time in creative and constructive way, as part of a global trend of creative industries in Europe and the world. “Animax Skopje Fest” is organized by the production company “Auripigment”, in collaboration with the Association of Citizens Creative Center “Tintiri - Mintiri” of Skopje, Macedonia, with the support of Ministry of Culture of Republic of Macedonia. The main mission of “Animax Skopje Fest” is:
Promotion of animation in Macedonia;
Increasing the awareness for animation in Macedonia as a part of important cultural (creative) industries;
Contacting and communication between artists in Macedonia and abroad;
Promotion of dialog between filmmakers, designers, animators, artists, producers and viewers;
Organizing seminars, forums, workshops.
Who We Are
Production company “Auripigment” is working about 15 years in the field of audio - visual arts in the Republic of Macedonia, producing feature films, TV series, feature series, documentaries and entertainment programs intended for the widest audience. Most of the projects are characterized as projects of national interest to universal values. In this list of projects is included one of the latest projects of the production company, the first Macedonian international festival of animated films “Animax Skopje Fest”. Currently the production company “Auripigment” has produced documentary “Hristo Uzunov”, while in pre - production and production are five projects including a feature film. Festival “Animax Skopje Fest” aims to unite and encourage all animators in the Republic of Macedonia and to facilitate verification and presentation worthy of their creative potential and product. “Auripigment” production team knows quality and potency of Macedonian authors and therefore deemed it necessary to put the festival in the service of the promoter and ‘exporter’ of aesthetic founded animated audio - visual works arising from Macedonia. In fact, this festival aims to raise and build culture in terms of making animated films for adults and children who present different aspects of everyday life. The authors of these films from around the world participate in this festival by sending their animated films. Animax Skopje Fest is held in November each year. The last night of the festival, most successful animated films are awarded with prizes, which have undergone previous round of competition and are being elected as awarded by the jury - the commission. On the other hand, our team closely monitors developments in the field of world animation and also as past years, this year and in future plans to carry the best of the world in Macedonia. This is illustrated by the previous two editions of the festival, in which were reported over 400 high quality animated films from more than 35 countries worldwide. While this year's edition reported more than 200 animated works from more than 40 countries from all around the world, which this time, also, will compete for the main prize “Golden Brick”.
Das GIJÓN/XIXÓN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (FICX) hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine breite und vielfältige Auswahl an Autorenkinos zu präsentieren, die derzeit weltweit produziert werden und sich insbesondere auf innovative Filme und aufstrebende Filmemacher konzentrieren. Qualitativ hochwertiges, persönliches, junges, ausgefallenes und unabhängiges Kino auf kreativem Niveau. Bei seinem Auswahlverfahren wird das Festival den Werken von Interesse Priorität einräumen, die auf dem FICX ihre Welt-, internationale, europäische oder spanische Premiere feiern, sowie solche, für die es keine kommerziellen Vertriebsvereinbarungen auf spanischem Gebiet gibt.
Von der FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Association) als „Spezialisiertes Festival“ anerkannt
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.

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.

Das Aguilar de Campoo Short Film Festival gilt als eines der erfahrensten und relevantesten Filmzitate unseres Landes in seinem Genre. Die Academy of Motion Picture Arts in Spanien zählt zu den wichtigsten Festivals für die Auswahl von Kurzfilmen, die an den Goya Awards teilnehmen werden. In den letzten Ausgaben hat das Festival wichtige Entscheidungen getroffen, die es dem Kino unseres Landes verpflichtet haben. In seiner dreizehnten Ausgabe veröffentlichte er sein Manifest, in dem er seine Philosophie und sein Engagement für den Film unter Beweis stellte. Er beschloss, für die Auswahl der ausgewählten Kurzfilme zu bezahlen, wodurch der wirtschaftliche Wettbewerb ausgeschaltet wurde, um das künstlerische Schaffen und die künstlerische Produktion zu fördern. Seine Vorführräume stehen dem internationalen Kino aller Genres, Fiktion, dokumentarischem Animations- und Experimentalkino, offen. Im Jahr 2016 wurde das Festival von der AIC (Short Film Industry Association) ausgezeichnet. Dieses Zertifikat ist eine jährliche Auszeichnung, mit der Festivals ausgezeichnet und ausgezeichnet werden, die eine vorbildliche Rolle bei der Verbreitung, dem Schutz und der Professionalisierung des Kinos und seiner Branche, insbesondere des Kurzfilms, spielen. Dies ist das erste Mal, dass diese Zertifizierung verliehen wurde. Sie ist das Ergebnis von mehr als einem Jahr voller Arbeitstische und Gespräche mit Festivals, Filmemachern und anderen Fachleuten aus dem ganzen Land, um einen Leitfaden für gutes Verhalten gegenüber dem Kurzfilm und seinen Filmemachern zu entwickeln. Die grundlegenden Ziele dieser Auszeichnung sind die Ausbildung neuer Generationen von Filmemachern und der Schutz vorbildlicher Festivals, wobei ihr Engagement und ihre Sorgfalt anerkannt werden. Wir streben die Begegnung und den Austausch zwischen Fachleuten und der Öffentlichkeit als eine Form der kulturellen Bereicherung an.

UFO – das Kurzfilmfestival.
UFO – das steht für Unbekannte FilmObjekte.
UFO – das bedeutet einen Abend vollgepackt mit 15 verschiedenen Kurzfilmen unterschiedlichster Genres, Themen und Darstellungsformen.
Kurz, aber ausgefeilt inszeniert; symbolisch und aussagestark; fokussiert und immer wieder überraschend.
Der Kurzfilm stellt innerhalb der Filmgattungen ein eindrucksvolles Format dar, wird es doch so facettenreich bespielt, passioniert betrieben und konstant rezipiert.
Seine Macher*innen stellt der Kurzfilm dabei vor technische und künstlerische Herausforderungen – das Format fordert durch seine Kürze die Handwerkskunst heraus und bietet gleichzeitig eine Spielwiese, sich filmisch auszuprobieren und kreativ selbst zu verwirklichen.
Seit seiner Gründung 2005 bietet das UFO-Kurzfilmfestival Filmemacher*innen aus Deutschland und Europa – und dabei insbesondere dem Nachwuchs – eine Plattform, ihre Werke erstmalig in Leipzig zu präsentieren.
Veranstaltet im Januar, eröffnet es stets aufs Neue das Jahr der Leipziger Filmkunst.
