The festival is organized by the Udada Festival Trust (UFT) and seeks to develop a local and regional audience by showcasing films that have been done by women for women and are not necessarily distributed in local cinemas or television. Special attention will be given to African films made by women and films pertaining to African women.
The mandate of the UDADA Film Festival is to:
Facilitate interaction between women filmmakers; and women filmmakers and their audiences;
Support and encourage women involved in film production;
Increase the exposure of new productions written and/or directed by women;
Showcase women productions to the Kenyan and International film industry for future ventures;
Provide opportunities for professional development;
Provide a marketplace for industry. In essence, a reverse trade mission providing local filmmakers and producers access to the national and international film industry;
Develop and offer youth programs to develop the next generation of filmmakers.
La 14e édition du Festival a pour thème central « Le cinéma communautaire en tant que générateur de changement social et de progrès ». Le jury donne la priorité aux contenus axés sur cet objectif, mais la réception des œuvres audiovisuelles n'est pas limitée exclusivement à ce thème, car d'autres types de contenu seront donc largement acceptés.
« Le cinéma communautaire est non seulement une forme d'art, mais également un outil puissant pour promouvoir les valeurs fondamentales d'une société progressiste, telles que l'égalité des sexes, la justice sociale et la participation citoyenne. Il facilite le débat, la pluralité et la solidarité, et offre un moyen d'expression aux différents groupes et identités qui constituent le tissu social, culturel et identitaire de la Colombie, aux niveaux local, régional et national. ¨
C'est pour cette raison que le festival du film et de la vidéo Comuna 13, The Other History, dans sa version 2024, a décidé de créer des espaces de dialogue et d'échange de connaissances autour du cinéma communautaire, en encourageant la participation des groupes les plus importants du pays à cette modalité afin de partager des expériences, des méthodologies et des connaissances avec le secteur universitaire de notre ville (réseau de création audiovisuelle, médias techniques, écoles pour la paix, entre autres)

Il encourage la participation de jeunes et brillants cinéastes indépendants de toutes nationalités et leur donne la possibilité de présenter leurs films à un public diversifié de cinéastes et de cinéphiles du monde entier.
La mission du festival a toujours été d'améliorer, de promouvoir et de diffuser les formes cinématographiques, audiovisuelles et expressives de reproduction cinématographique, par le biais de courts métrages et de clips vidéo en tant que forme d'expression visuelle et phonique, en tant qu'art efficace, en tant que forme de communication sociale et culturelle, de développer le potentiel du langage artistique visuel, de répondre aux besoins de croissance culturelle des jeunes dans un environnement futur fortement lié aux arts visuels, de se laisser émerveiller par leurs compétences créatives, de donner des créatifs, aux réalisateurs et aux cinéastes l'espace qui leur convient des talents avec la plus grande visibilité possible.
6th CinemAvvenire Film Festival carries on and strengthens the International/European dimension of the Associazione Centro Internazionale CinemAvvenire, a project managed with enthusiasm and determination since 1992 through the starting idea by Gillo Pontecorvo.
Lumière 2015 signs a crucial step forward; the previous edition hosted 100 feature films and 200 shorts from 60 different Countries.
Each tool of the festival is at disposal for the discover and the exploration of new styles and talents, assisting and supporting the independent productions setting a European platform for their expectations. A look at the past won’t be ignored –bringing to light some unpopular zone of Cinema History – as it belongs to the logic of discovery too.
We have concluded many deals with several partners around Europe. This partnerships are planned to decentralize the event with the aim to promote young talents inside a European web allowing audiovisual works to get a broader circulation around EU.
This European direction led us choosing the platypus as logo for our festival. It unites different parts from different animals and this feature makes it unique. It has a duckbill, the tail as rodents, the paws as reptiles and it lays eggs notwithstanding it is a mammal animal. Its skills let it free form categorization and guardian of a precious metaphor: united in diversity.

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.

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.

La Fundación Todo por el Cine, AC, organisatrice du Festival International Film in the Field, invite les cinéastes nationaux et internationaux à participer au concours qui se tiendra dans le cadre de la 13e édition du Festival international du film sur le terrain (FICC) une célébration dans les mois d'octobre et novembre, se présentant dans 50 communautés rurales de la République mexicaine.
Le FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL FILM IN THE FIELD (FICC) promeut le dialogue entre les communautés rurales du Mexique et la production de courts métrages, dans le but de générer de nouveaux circuits, de projeter du cinéma en plein air.
Nous soutenons la production cinématographique de courts métrages qui explorent les conditions culturelles et naturelles dans lesquelles vivent les êtres humains, la diversité culturelle et son lien avec la nature. De même, nous recherchons des agents de changement et des initiatives originales qui encouragent un changement positif dans la protection de l'environnement.
THÈME : « Sensibilisation aux semailles »
Nous nous intéressons à toutes sortes de questions et de traditions environnementales. Nous cherchons à diffuser des messages qui ne reçoivent généralement pas la couverture nécessaire, et encore moins dans les communautés rurales où les expositions culturelles et artistiques sont malheureusement absentes.
