Laughter is the cure and the best means of combating the problems of life, it is also free and does not issue a prescription.
One of the greatest remedies that we have invented, and heal the world, entertaining it too.
Weed to entice and use laughter to achieve happiness and success in life.
Laughter is the art and skill of the world's most powerful habit.
Laughter is the exhaust valve of our soul, but it's a matter of us shell we use it.
It's reflects many virtues such as generosity, selflessness, optimism, altruism, hope, empathy, joy, serenity, happiness ...
These are just some of the thousands of words being sung in his honor, and that is why we, as FIFES's organisers, decided to provide the opportunity for all people of good will who want to express their creative soul, a very unique, funny, lighthearted way, through the art of film as a wonderful way of human expression.

We do not laugh because we're happy, but we are happy because we laugh
Who laughs the last, laughs too late ...

The Boston Science Fiction Film Festival is an 11-day cinematic event held at the historic Somerville Theatre from February 9th to the 19th. The 2018 edition marks our 43rd anniversary as the oldest science fiction film festival.
The first nine days is a traditional film festival. Films submitted and curated from around the world are screened, whether they be features, shorts, or webisodes. Plus we have workshops, parties or anything else that seems appropriate. Here at BostonSciFi we emphasize emerging directors with distinct visions.
The Festival concludes with The Marathon, a.k.a., “The ‘Thon”, a 24-hour orgiastic motion picture endurance test featuring classic, new and schlock films. Think of it as binge viewing with 750 close friends. It starts at noon on the 18th and ends at noon on President’s Day.
Boston SciFi is the oldest genre fest in the country and one of the oldest in the world. Being in Boston has many advantages, it is a world class city. Boston is one of the world’s best college towns (hello Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts and more). As such, BostonSciFi endeavors to reflect all of that in the festival. Then toss in, we are housed in the classic 1914 Somerville Theatre in the almost too hip Davis Square, and you can see why FilmFreeway touted us as one of the Top 100 Film Festivals.
If you’re a filmmaker, a film fan or a simply lover of science fiction, the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival is fresh, vital, and more importantly, a fun place to screen, watch and enjoy film!

L'AVIFF Festival presenta un programma di film di artisti a Cannes durante il periodo del Festival di Cannes, 4 giorni a maggio.
Il concetto: mostrare un altro «cinema» e presentare opere audiovisive a un pubblico di frequentatori e professionisti del festival.
Le opere selezionate devono essere state prodotte da artisti per meno di 2 anni e non sono mai state presentate in Francia prima.
Il programma presentato a Cannes sarà quindi programmato durante l'anno in luoghi partner di istruzione e cultura: festival, musei, Centro di arti contemporanee, fondazioni, università, scuole... e questo nel mondo, in Europa e in Francia.
Con il sostegno del Ministero della Cultura, della Regione Provenza Alpi Costa Azzurra, della Fondazione Angel Orensanz di New York e di partner privati e pubblici, l'AVIFF Festival lavora da 13 anni per promuovere il film dell'artista e la sua diffusione, a favore della libertà artistica mondiale e del espressione della propria creatività.
Tutti i registi artistici sono i benvenuti indipendentemente dal formato dei tuoi film e dalla loro durata.
