The film festival became a 501(c)3 and launched in 2009! It has been growing every since. We have since added a Creative Director, Hollywood Director Joe Carnahan, who has brought us such films as "The Grey" and "The A-Team" with Liam Neeson and top rated television shows like "The Blacklist" and "State of Affairs". He has been a powerful partner in our festival!
The festival is conveniently located downtown, we're in the middle of the arts and entertainment district. And after the films we host some of the best after parties with live bands and fantastic food and drinks!

Hope you'll have us back next year!"

"It was an absolute honour to be part of such a well respected film festival. Thanks to the help, hard work and commitment from SBE my career in the UK has gone from strength to strength.

Its thanks to people such as Grant believing in me from an early stage of my development that has helped me get to where I am now."

Created by Jose Ruiz, Jr., the Co-Founder of the Manhattan Film Festival in NYC, as an opportunity to introduce his love for independent film into the city & community that he grew up in, the West Side Film Series is an opportunity to showcase independent cinema, on an ongoing basis (Twice per month), to an audience that is not typically afforded the opportunity to experience such quality artistic film. Located in St. Paul, MN -the West Side Neighborhood has been home to many immigrant communities, and was once dubbed, "The Ellis Island of the Midwest". Today, the neighborhood is home to a respectful, diverse community that has flourished through local business impact, and is continuing to evolve as a flourishing artistic town. The series will be open to all in proximity, including the booming Lowertown Arts Community! A great opportunity to showcase your film to a great audience to build buzz for your film. Proceeds will go to benefit Prodigy Sports, a local organization that provides quality athletic training opportunities to high school students from various communities.
With submission to this film series, films will also receive free submission to a film festival that will be announced shortly, to be held in beautiful Downtown St. Paul, recently named "The most romantic city in North America"!

The APICA, an association for the promotion of images, creation, and the arts, based in French Polynesia organizes from March 6h to 12th, 2017 the third edition of the International Festival of Short Fiction Films from the Islands of the World: Courts des îles, in Papeete, Tahiti (French Polynesia).
The perspective of island directors at the heart of the “Courts des îles” Festival
The APICA wishes to highlight island sensitivities from all over the world through their audiovisual and cinematic creations, by gathering them around a unique event: The International Festival of Short Fiction Films from the Islands of the World, Courts des îles.
From Java to Madagascar, from Iceland to New Zealand, from the Bahamas to Guadeloupe, from Hawaii to Tasmania… Courts des îles hopes to be an open window on island cultures, singular of pluralistic, a link between these young creators, directors from the islands of the world who tell us their stories.
Celebrating the islands of the world through a specific form of expression: short fiction films
A veritable journey around the world of island creativity: from Europe to Asia, from America to Oceania, and through Africa, Courts des îles is also a place of exchange and sharing for festival attendees, who will be able to contrast their experiences, their points of mutual interest, and their differences during workshops, round tables, and conferences organized around the themes of screenwriting, directing, and producing short fiction films.
Beyond the screening of short fiction films from the islands of the world, the Courts des îles Festival will give pride of place to a different island every year through the best short films that are produced there.
