IndieFlicks is the UK's monthly film festival, supporting the best up and coming filmmakers from around the world. IndieFlicks is continuously growing, hosting simultaneous screenings in Manchester, London and Sheffield. We also host a repeat screening the following week in Liverpool.
"They only pick the best films for their screenings so it's not only a great festival to enter, but a great film night to attend. I've enjoyed every film i've seen so far.”
Chris Cronin, Director.
How our monthly festival works…
Our Monthly Festival is a showcase of Short films from around the world, screening 50 minutes of short film in the first half, followed by our selected Feature Short in the second. We also host a Q&A with filmmakers able to attend and talks with local creatives.
At each event, two films will be selected to win either one of our awards:
The People’s Choice Award
The Directors Choice Award
Films included in the first half are nominated for our 'The People's Choice Award’; This is evidently voted for our audiences on the night and votes are calculated collectively from all of our venues.
In the second half of the night we host our 'Feature Short', one film no longer than 50 minutes. This is our headliner for the event. This film is awarded, ‘The Directors Choice Award’, one that our Judging panel felt deserves recognition.
"Not only is IndieFlicks a brilliant opportunity to network within the Manchester filmmaking community, it offers insight into short filmmaking approaches worldwide."
Martyn Ellis, Sound Engineer, Noise Four
Notifications:
Filmmakers will be notified throughout the year. If successful, your film will be screened on the first Wednesday of a selected month.

Desde el año 2003, CAOSTICA organiza en Bilbao este Festival referente en la cultura del audiovisual más transgresor e irreverente.
EL FESTIVAL: MOVIMIENTO DE LA CULTURA
El Festival nace con una misión muy concreta:
pretende estimular la atención del público hacia un espacio representativo abierto y amplio, como es el entorno rural, hace de sus proyecciones al aire libre, abiertas para todos, el mejor exponente. Jóvenes y adultos, generaciones separadas por años y vivencias, se reúnen en torno a una pantalla, que es el foco de la luz de un pasado y de un futuro: la cultura es atemporal, la cultura une, y el lenguaje cinematográfico será el nexo común que temple emociones y sentimientos, que atesore recuerdos, que provoque animadas tertulias.
De esta manera todos los asistentes al evento pueden disfrutar de un discurso heterogéneo y dinámico. A través de este impulso cultural, las diferentes corrientes de creatividad permiten a los espectadores moverse y explorar códigos nuevos y viejos en un espacio público, creando comunidad.
El Festival de Cine de Arte de Brooklyn es un evento único que reúne a los famosos productores de cine y medios de comunicación de Brooklyn con sus compañeros de todo el país y de todo el mundo. El galardonado AOBFF es un evento, plataforma y escaparate centrado en cineastas para creadores emergentes y voces establecidas. Nos asociamos con distribuidores de películas y organizaciones de medios, organizamos talkbacks de clase mundial, creamos una programación innovadora para crear redes y desarrollar habilidades, y proyectamos en teatros de última generación para audiencias entusiastas de todo Brooklyn.
Fundada por artistas en 2011, diez estrenos de festivales han conseguido distribución teatral hasta la fecha, y uno se convirtió en una serie HBO. Hemos celebrado eventos en diecinueve lugares diferentes en nueve vecindarios de Brooklyn (hasta ahora) a menudo asociándonos con empresas y organizaciones locales para llegar al público más amplio posible.
Nuestro enfoque innovador para garantizar que ningún PDV domine el proceso de curación incluye trabajar con un director de festivales invitado diferente cada temporada. Y nuestra política de inscripción ética y transparente es un modelo para la industria.
Creemos que los festivales de cine existen para los cineastas, no al revés.
En 2014 nos convertimos en el único festival de cine independiente que construyó y programó nuestra propia plataforma de streaming de video bajo demanda: Brooklyn On Demand, donde transmitimos favoritos del festival, series originales y mucho más, online y en un canal Roku con más de 16.000 suscriptores, junto a Netflix, Hulu y Amazon Prime. brooklynondemand.com

SEMBRANDO CINE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
XII EDITION: Recognizing our shadow
Our shade can be a real problem.
It is that side of our humanity, which we prefer to keep hidden, and which makes us act questionably.
This shadow, is in part, what has led us to cause a terrible impact on the environment.
Deforestation, oil spills, pollution of soils and seas, annihilation of species, violation of indigenous rights and assassinations of environmental defenders.
This shadow, individual and collective, is projected from the big cities over our ecosystems and under the protection of state legality and private investments in favor of “progress and industrialization”.
In times where the imbalance we have caused in the environment, comes back at us like climate disasters and nature embezzles, it behooves us to dare to look back at this shadow.
We have a responsibility to understand its impact, point out those projecting it and demand regulations to defend those it affects.
They say that the first step to solving a problem is to identify it and today, through cinema, we seek to acknowledge our actions, to stop the advance of their consequences on our unique natural environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL SEMBRANDO CINE – XII EDITION
RECOGNIZING OUR SHADOW
Castellaneta Film Fest is an International short film and music videos festival, held in a beautiful town in Puglia, Italy. We are involved in cinema, art exhibitions, music videos and live music performances. We are looking for original stories and all filmmakers from all over the world are more than welcome!
Tlanchana Fest, Festival de Cine y Arte Digital es realizado por Tlanchana Cultura Audiovisual A.C., con el fin de crear un espacio de exhibición para los talentos emergentes de México y el mundo, mediante la unión de elementos que fomenten la creación cinematográfica en conjunto con los nuevos medios y el arte digital.
La decima Edición de Tlanchana Fest se realizará del 3 al 5 de Julio de 2026 y contará con una serie de proyecciones, conferencias y talleres, además de instalaciones y otras actividades que se realizarán de manera virtual y presencial y que servirán como incentivo para el quehacer en materia cinematográfica y de arte digital.
With twenty-two years of existence, (the first edition was in 1997) AVANCA Film Festival was awarded first place in 2011 contest of the support film festivals sponsored by ICA / Ministry of Culture.
An additional thematic programming has happened over all these years, giving space to screening of significant works of contemporary cinema appropriately framed in concerns and / or well-defined objectives.
The AVANCA is known as a space for workshops led by personalities of world cinema, and being more than a "master class", has allowed a unique cinema practice. Every year we have always 6 or 7 workshops, bringing together participants from all over Europe. The media have written that this is the largest European area of professional workshops in the field of cinema.
AVANCA is the only festival that congregates a Cinema International Competition, works from the television area, video and new supports of multimedia, with a special concern of exhibit the best world productions done in each category.
Since the first edition, the festival only accepts unprecedented films in Portugal.
The World Premiere competition is unique in our country and was only possible because Avanca became a passage point of unpublished authors and movies with great quality. Films that have their world premiere in the festival, independently of the submitted category, are also participating in the World Premiere Competition.
AVANCA is the Portuguese festival with the highest percentage of worldwide unpublished movies that find here their first showing.
In 2020 Edition, Avanca will bring for the first time the VR Competition, where films in virtual reality 360°, narrative or experimental (but with no interactivity) are allowed.
Since 2010, we have organized the international film conference AVANCA | CINEMA, becoming the most important conference in the field of cinema in the Iberian Peninsula. This conference brings together speakers and participants from around the world.
Thematic exhibitions, editions of books, bibliographic presentations and various projects have marked these last 10 years of AVANCA with the quality that compels the festival and the participants obviously require.
