Festival internacional de cinema de filmes de gênero divertidos, fantásticos e livres de arte.
O Obscura Filmfest foi fundado por David Ghane em 2016 e tem sido dirigido somente por ele desde então. Ele é um apaixonado fã de filmes de gênero desde 1996, frequenta vários festivais de cinema por ano desde 2004, às vezes ajuda lá, atua como figurante em filmes de terror e é um colecionador extremo de filmes.
O Obscura Film Festival é especializado em filmes divertidos e fantásticos, grandes e pequenos, filmes que quase nunca são exibidos regularmente. Os filmes exibidos lá são, em sua maioria, sucessos de bilheteria convencionais ou filmes de arte que podem ser encontrados na maioria dos outros festivais de cinema regulares. Até mesmo festivais comparáveis estão expandindo seus programas para incluir cada vez mais obras de arte. Quem gosta de filmes independentes divertidos, menores e especiais, mas também consegue imaginar produções maiores de países distantes, encontrará o que procura no Obscura Filmfest: filmes divertidos com arestas, cruas e intransigentes; de pequenos filmes de terror desagradáveis a épicos de batalha asiáticos, há algo para todos os fãs, mas sem tédio.
Tudo começou com filmes subterrâneos pequenos, inusitados, inúteis e depravados, enquanto o Obscura também exibe filmes comerciais de médio porte que são comercializados nos grandes mercados cinematográficos.
Os destaques das edições anteriores do festival incluíram as estreias alemãs do filme argentino de ação e ficção científica cyberpunk “Daemonium”, o thriller ucraniano “Egregor”, o zumbi filipino “Day Zero”, o filme de terror dinamarquês “Finale”, a comédia de fantasmas “Deadtectives” e os dois filmes do sertão “What the Waters Left Behind” e sua sequência “Scars” 5 anos depois.
As estreias europeias do filme de super-heróis em quadrinhos indonésio “Valentine” e do filme “Drifter”, de Backwoods, também foram exibidas.
Outro destaque foi o louco festival japonês de splatterfest “Kodoku - Meatball Machine”, que relembra uma longa história de festivais, incluindo os maiores festivais do gênero, bem como a produção “The Hunt”, da Universal/Blumhouse.
Com “Redbad” e “The Great Battle”, dois grandes épicos de batalha também foram exibidos no Obscura.
A estreia alemã do contundente filme de exploração “Trauma” em Hanover contou até com a presença de visitantes da região do Ruhr.
Após sua estreia internacional no Obscura, o filme de cowboys do sertão “Lasso” foi exibido alguns meses depois no famoso Frightfest britânico.
Em 2022, o Obscura teve suas duas primeiras estreias mundiais de longa-metragem com “All through the Hall” e “Hidden in the Woods II”.
Em cada festival de cinema Obscura, havia convidados que apresentavam seus filmes pessoalmente e estavam disponíveis para perguntas e respostas. Eles vinham da Irlanda, Reino Unido, Bélgica, Finlândia, Dinamarca, Espanha, Grécia, Hungria, Holanda, EUA, Argentina, México, Colômbia e, claro, Alemanha.
Em 2024, houve um número recorde de convidados de 7 países diferentes, além de “The Witch”. Revenge”, um filme de terror de guerra ucraniano que foi filmado durante e sobre a guerra atual.

INTRODUCTION :
The Music Video Underground is a festival 100% focused on Music Videos.
After a first edition in Paris, a vibrant venue for culture, with lots of venues for shows, the International Music Video Underground opens up for a second edition.
We select Music Videos and dance movies from all over the world and we screen it to give young artists both sides of the camera to be noticed for their talents.
OUR MOTO
The International Music Video Underground doesn’t require your music video to be perfect, or signed by a label, or managed by a production company. It requires you did it with all you had and put your heart into it. It requires you tell something with images and music.
Our goal is to screen new talents, people who don’t have the chance to be the son of an important someone, young artists that have to meet audience to grow, creators that want to show what they are capable of

No clima cinematográfico de hoje é difícil mostrar curtas-metragens. Muitos festivais se concentram em recursos e parece que esta arte de shorts está diminuindo para vídeos bobos sobre gatinhos na internet. Mesmo que amemos gatinhos (quem não?) aqui no Short. - Legal. Film Fest., nós amamos mais curtas-metragens.
Com oito festivais sob o nosso cinto, o nosso objetivo para o nosso nono festival anual de cinema é mostrar filmes em menos de 30 minutos para a crescente cena artística na grande área de Cleveland e destacar as obras de estudantes para cineastas veteranos em todo o país.
Os alunos devem se inscrever à categoria de curta-metragem para receber um desconto significativo sobre a taxa de inscrição.
Estamos à procura dos melhores curtas-metragens localmente, nacionalmente e internacionalmente. Então mande-os para o nosso caminho!
Nosso festival terá lugar no Teatro Alex no Metropolitan no hotel 9 no coração do centro de Cleveland. Os cineastas e clientes podem ficar no hotel com desconto e desfrutar de comida e bebidas durante todo o festival.
Nossa missão
Aclamamos diretores, roteiristas e cineastas emergentes de todo o mundo e ampliamos seu trabalho reunindo um público diversificado para vivenciar e refletir sobre isso, além de dialogar ainda mais.
Nossa comunidade existe na interseção de um olhar cinematográfico mais amplo e inclusivo e do surgimento de um cinema verdadeiramente excepcional.
Se os filmes são o conteúdo, Alfama é a forma que define o tom das experiências que criamos. Uma somatização arquitetônica da intimidade, essa é a cena em que convidamos seus filmes a aparecerem.
Nossa história
em 2009 como um projeto informal para mostrar o cinema independente nas ruelas recônditas de Alfama, projetado contra suas icônicas paredes de pedra.
Nos anos seguintes, a Cinalfama amadureceu e se tornou um evento competitivo de caráter internacional, além de uma referência cultural em Lisboa.
A natureza dos eventos mudou ao longo dos anos, mas a atmosfera, os filmes e os locais permanecem tão íntimos quanto sempre foram.
Nossa casa
Fundado em 1914, o Grupo Sportivo Adicense é um dos símbolos remanescentes mais antigos e autênticos da verdadeira alma de Alfama.
Cantores de fado mundialmente famosos começaram suas carreiras servindo mesas nesta instituição histórica — que ainda enfrenta as constantes mudanças e descaracterizações da paisagem urbana do bairro.
Sessões de exibição
Escondidas nas ruas secundárias da cidade velha de Lisboa, Alfama, nossas exibições íntimas acontecem na casa cultural mais antiga da cidade, o Grupo Sportivo Adicense.
Organizamos três edições de exibição sazonal ao longo do ano, para mostrar e premiar os melhores talentos e filmes de cada uma. São de entrada gratuita e todos os filmes têm legendas em inglês.
Devido à atual pandemia e às restrições associadas, decidimos hospedar a próxima edição online de janeiro de 2024, disponibilizando uma seleção dos melhores filmes da temporada. Com o objetivo de ter exibições ao vivo de volta em breve.

Shorts Premiere: exhibits short films in Santiago de Chile at the clasic Movie theater Cine arte Normandie(750 seats), due to a successful run, we plan on making it a monthly event.
This year's show is a mixed cocktail with a strong stir from the flaming absinthe spoon. Again proving the world isn't flat, we are set to tour with one of our best shows to date. To provide you with a taste of what's what... We are proud to present Jonas Georgakakis' "Saga of Biorn" a ferociously funny animated Nordic tale divulging the absolute truth about how one might earn the right to enter Valhalla. Then there is Javier Mrad's "Techopolis," an absolutely amazing 12min stop motion piece resembling Fritz Lang's Metropolis black and white film. This is the only show where so many entertaining films like these take the spotlight and are given full theatrical effect.
Before the "Festival of Animation" it was difficult to see independent, experimental, and foreign animation. Spike and Mike embarks on yearly world-wide film hunting expeditions. They have signed-on animation from the National Film Board of Canada, Cal Arts, Sheridan, Royal College of Art, Annecy, and select studios active amongst the art-house scene that at one time did not have a public venue. This Festival has come to be known as one of the most anticipated touring events on the circuit.
Initially, Spike and Mike produced the "Classic Festival" and later both the "Classic" and "Sick and Twisted" simultaneously- but by the early 2000s, the "Classic Festival of Animation" was phased into hiatus by the Sick and Twisted Festival (mainly featuring shorts venturing into the non sequitur e.g. "Lloyd's Lunchbox"). "The Festival" (meaning the current show) premieres a new cavalcade of adventurous films annually. Spike & Mike's "New Generation Animation" noted as the latest genre in animation, without question is now premiering the most captivating film-set of thought provoking concepts, humor, story, and daring production design in animation.
In animation, it is important to have an accurate gauge on the pulsating shifts in pop culture. Spike and Mike's content has evolved with the changing tastes of our times. The shows in their entirety have toured globally in theaters, film festivals (such as Cannes, Sundance, Annecy), college campuses, and dynamic events such as the Vans Warped Tour, the Winter X Games, and with the nu-metal band Korn.
