Il festival si propone di promuovere il Cinema indipendente, nazionale e internazionale.
Montelupo Fiorentino International Independent Film Festival è un progetto di Lorenzo Ciani, regista indipendemte affascinato dalla magia del Cinema Mignon d'essai. Attraverso la collaborazione con il direttore artistico Daniele Pertici, il progetto è diventato realtà.
UK Web Fest is the first regional festival of it's kind and the second in the country. We are a platform for digital media and the tech worlds to showcase talented, creative, and collaborative master pieces.
We believe that UK and beyond can showcase web series and digital content for all to view anywhere in the world.
The MONTEMARIO SHORT FILM FESTIVAL organised and sponsored by the The non-profit cultural association "CS-COMSPE" and "Arte & Musica d'Italia" is one of the foremost film festivals in Italy encouraging the participation of young and brilliant independent filmmakers of any nationality and affording them the opportunity to screen their films to a diverse audience of filmmakers and film lovers from all over the world.
The festival's mission has always been to enhance, promote and disseminate cinematographic, audiovisual and expressive forms of film reproduction, through Short Films and Video Clips as a form of visual and phonic expression, as an effective art, as a form of social and cultural communication, develop the potential of visual artistic language, respond to the needs of cultural growth of young people in a future environment strongly communicated with the visual arts, be amazed by creative skills, to give creatives, directors and filmmakers the right space for their talent in the greatest possible visibility.
La sesta edizione del CinemAvvenire Film Festival porta avanti e consolida la dimensione internazionale e spiccatamente europea dell’Associazione Centro Internazionale CinemAvvenire, un progetto condotto con determinazione e entusiasmo da oltre 20 anni dietro l’iniziale input, nel 1992, di Gillo Pontecorvo.
Lumière marca uno scatto ulteriore dell’iniziativa festivaliera; l'edizione precedente ha ospitato 100 lungometraggi e 200 cortometraggi da tutto il mondo (60 Paesi diversi). Tutti gli strumenti della macchina del Festival sono a disposizione della scoperta e l’esplorazione di nuovi linguaggi e talenti, la tentazione mai sazia di dar voce al carattere innovativo e spesso indipendente della nuova produzione internazionale cinematografica.
Abbiamo creato una rete di festival cinematografici europei tesa ad aumentare la visibilità delle opere europee in Europa. I film presentati nell'edizione 2014 sono ancora proiettati in UK, Bulgaria, Croazia e Romania e nuovi partner stanno aderente alla rete
Quest’anno, alla dimensione temporale, si aggiunge un definitivo carattere spaziale che contrassegna l’ambizione reale di questa quinta edizione. Con il privilegio del “senno di poi” abbiamo imparato che un mondo globalmente connesso, informato e alleato non comporta un confuso melting pot delle culture al suo interno. La difesa e la salvaguardia delle culture regionali non disperde, bensì incentiva, le dinamiche di collaborazione globale, arricchendo e proteggendo allo stesso tempo la/le nostre identità di cittadini del mondo a diversi livelli. Questo binomio non banale è testimoniato dal motto europeo “uniti nella diversità”.
C’è un animale che per natura unisce diversi tipi di caratteristiche che lo rendono unico nel suo genere: l’ornitorinco. Questo guazzabuglio faunistico ha il becco da anatra ma la coda da roditore, le zampe da rettile nonostante sulla carta sia un mammifero con la irragionevole capacità di deporre uova. La sua capacità di rimanere integro di fronte alla diversità delle sue parti lo rende libero da ogni categoria zoologica e al contempo guardiano di una identità unica e preziosa.
In questo senso l’ornitorinco rappresenta la logica del nostro festival, il nostro modo di difendere l’identità, sapendo che il dialogo e il confronto rafforzano e non demoliscono la nostra unicità.

The passion and commitment that each filmmaker and writer puts into his or her work is both noble and unique, to say the least, and deserves to be acknowledged. As not only the cornerstone of our Mission but as the foundation of our belief system and morals, we seek out, acknowledge and award the many talented independent filmmakers who may not get the recognition they richly deserve.
The Great Lakes International Film Festival strives to serve the interests and needs of Independent Filmmakers worldwide by connecting artists with audiences, exhibiting and promoting new films and filmmaking talent, as well as nurturing a creative community by facilitating relationships that last well beyond each year’s festival.

Though the GLIFF success does not come from an excess of big names celebrities crowding its red carpet, but instead from a formidable catalogue of exceptionally high caliber Independent Films and career launches, still, over the years we have had many films that have screened on the Sundance Channel, IFC, PBS and HBO along with countless filmmakers who have received distribution deals after screening in our festival.
Since our inception, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has showcased more than 2,000 films, and has played host to countless celebrities such as actor, writer, producer Bill Hinzman of Flesheaters and Night of the Living Dead; director Lloyd Kaufman of the Toxic Avenger films, Pot Zombies, and President of Troma Films; actor Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw Massacre; actor and director Mark Borchardt of American Movie and Coven; Erick Rodgers (Writer of NYPD Blue); best-selling mystery author Jamian Snow (Shrouded Insanity); John Hancock (“Hill Street Blues”, “The Twilight Zone”, & California Dreaming); actress and “Scream Queen” Debbie Rochon (Blood Relic, Vampyre Tales, & Lord of the Undead); Bobby Logan (Meatballs 4 & Repossessed), along with so many more.
As one of the premier film festivals worldwide, the Great Lakes International Film Festival held its inaugural festival in the fall of 2002, welcoming internationally acclaimed celebrities like Dirk Benedict, best known for his work on Battlestar Galactica and A-Team, along with Hollywood script guru Harri James who worked as script supervisor for blockbuster films and TV Shows as ER, Alias, Tremors II: Aftershocks, and Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, to name only a few.
That same year, B.J. and the Bear & Up in Smoke producer, Otto Felix visited the festival along with the renowned Keith Carradine being presented with a lifetime achievement award for his dedication and contributions to indie film.
Since that time, the Great Lakes International Film Festival has had many films go on to greatness like “The Derby Stallion” that was released through Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, a subsidiary of Disney, and Director Joel Miller’s film “The Still Life” that received distribution through Warner Home Video after having been screened at the festival.
In 2004, the Great Lakes International Film Festival had the proud pleasure to present the North East United States Premiere of “SAW”, Lions Gate Films’ gripping psychological thriller starring Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, and Leigh Whannel.
The legendary Terry Moore was our special guest of honor and was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her amazing accomplishments in film over the past 60 years, while international recording superstar Dizzy Reed of Guns ‘N Roses performed before a capacity crowd at our Film Festival.
From the feature narrative genre to documentary to animation; experimental, horror and Spiritual films, the Great Lakes International Film Festival celebrates the film arts in dynamic transition. As emerging technologies continue to redefine the form, filmmakers from the Great Lakes region, across the country and around the world express the common and the diverse through the age-old tradition. — The art of the story.

Mission:
A judged film festival described as "Sundance with Fangs" by Newsday Long Island. We provide a venue for showcasing your films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those of you who passionately craft your Strange-ifical, Weird-ifical, Horror-ifical, Sci-fi-tastical, Fantastical and Macabre-licious films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced: Ma-Cob. The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning: disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury, WE ARE NOT SOLELY A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL but instead a whole lot more than that. We usually approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in the sense that, not all of the films screened are horror and instead many may simply be considered a bit on the darker side. Of course, we will add some horror to this festival but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as:
Vincent Price & Peter Cushing or those fantastic Gothic horrors like the "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to us. What we are saying is that the word "Macabre" DOES NOT mean we only accept HORROR films but instead that we welcome those films that can tap into our fears through what you don't see or hear. A dark drama, mystery, suspense, thriller or dark comedy can do a lovely job making us feel uncomfortable in the dark. So folks, this is what many of the films selected for the Macabre Faire Film Festival offer. A buffet for any pallet. About the only thing we may have to say "No Thanks" to would be a romantic comedy/drama... unless, there's a monster under the bed during love making or other dark element.
All submitted films are pre-screened by select judges that includes Eileen Dietz, our Festival Ambassador, of the original "The Exorcist" film to ensure the films have followed guidelines and are an overall fit for the festival. Then the films are passed on to another set of judges consisting of more filmmakers, film critics, genre film fans and or seasoned actors to choose the Official Selections. Once these selections have been identified there is an additional judging process in collaboration with the original pre-screening judges to identify the different category nominees. Once you have been notified we insist on having the film festival entry form filled out and submitted back to the festival via email or snail mail within 4 weeks of acceptance. This form can be found on our website or it has been emailed to you as an attachment with your initial welcoming email.
URGENT NOTE: IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FESTIVAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ACCEPTED FILM WITHIN 4 WEEKS FROM INITIAL ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION, WHICH ALL FILMMAKERS RECEIVE FROM FESTHOME BY DEADLINE DATE, YOUR FILM WILL NO LONGER BE AN OFFICIAL SELECTION IN THE MACABRE FAIRE FILM FESTIVAL. So we urge everyone to check their spam folders at all times and or ensure to make contact with the festival within 4 weeks of the acceptance notification. Failure to do so will exclude your film from the festival. Please take the time to ACTUALLY READ all the pages of the submission form which contains mailing address information (if needed) and other very important details which includes getting your discs or film posters sent to the festival in a timely fashion. This does not mean mailing materials in 2 weeks before the event as they will not be accepted.
Moving on...

Fundación Todo por el Cine, AC, organizzatore del Festival Internazionale del Film in Campo, invita registi nazionali e internazionali a partecipare al concorso che si terrà nella 13a edizione del Festival Internazionale del Film in Campo (FICC) una celebrazione nei mesi di ottobre e novembre, presentandosi in 50 comunità rurali della Repubblica messicana.
Il FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE FILM IN THE FIELD (FICC) promuove il dialogo tra le comunità rurali del Messico e la produzione cinematografica in cortometraggio, con l'intenzione di generare nuovi circuiti, proiettando cinema all'aperto.
Sosteniamo la produzione cinematografica di cortometraggi che esplorano le condizioni culturali e naturali in cui vivono gli esseri umani, la diversità culturale e il suo legame con la natura. Allo stesso modo, cerchiamo agenti di cambiamento e iniziative originali che incoraggino un cambiamento positivo nella cura dell'ambiente.
TEMA: «Seminare consapevolezza»
Siamo interessati a tutti i tipi di questioni e tradizioni ambientali. Cerchiamo di diffondere messaggi che di solito non ricevono la copertura necessaria, tanto meno nelle comunità rurali dove le mostre culturali e artistiche sono tristemente assenti.
SiembraFest is a biennial and itinerant Colombian film festival that tours different municipalities in the department of Cundinamarca, facilitating the circulation and appropriation of national film productions, while providing tools for rural communities to actively participate in the construction of their own image.
Through its actions it generates emotional experiences that transform the public. The Festival de Cine Colombiano al Campo is a high-impact initiative that contributes to the generation of alternative exhibition scenarios and the development of new audiences in rural areas of the country, intervening in community spaces that promote the encounter of cinema with art and popular culture.
As part of our effort to contribute to the growth and consolidation of the creative industries, training activities will be held on topics of interest, promoting the meeting of the audiovisual and film sector in the regions.
The Festival de Cine Colombiano al Campo is a space for the promotion, diffusion and support of cinematographic works of national production. Any audiovisual work that represents the natural, social and cultural values of rural communities in Colombia is a film with the particular seal of SiembraFest. Works that address the traditions, practices, popular knowledge, manifestations of daily life or problems that affect rural communities in Colombia, through fiction, documentary and animation, may be submitted.
We value the creative freedom of national filmmakers and filmmakers, which is why our selection will include films of any format, length, genre or technique, as long as they are productions of quality, relevance and cinematographic pertinence. The viewing and deliberation of the films will be in charge of the Programming Committee, constituted by a group of cinephiles, experts in cinematography and subjects related to rurality who share criteria with the artistic direction of SiembraFest.
ONLY FOR COLOMBIAN FILMMAKERS
