Our festival can be attended from anywhere in the world with a computer, smart phone, or tablet. We strive to bring more attention and recognition to brilliant filmmaking being created around the world and help to connect filmmakers with one another.
By recreating the film festival experience online and offering it for free, as well as holding live events simultaneously around the globe, our short film festival will bring a much higher viewership than any other festival in the world.
A live, online, interactive, global, short film festival that extends and broadens viewers outside the common film festival experience and allows a much larger audience to enjoy the films from the comforts of their own homes.
The Unofficial Google+ Film Festival is complete with several film panels as well as live Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after each block of short films. This new and innovative festival is the future of the digital age for filmmakers and film fans everywhere. Movies are seen by thousands of attentive and film loving people around the world all at the same time (instead of being limited by a smaller geographical location).
Our mission is to become the world’s premier online, interactive, short film, and web series film festival to close out the year of all other film festivals.
In addition, select films will be invited to be seen at the Sunur Village Festival from August 19 - August 23 as well as the Open Air Cinema at Kuta Beach, Bali at the Blue Sapphire Club & Bar at the Stones Entertainment Centre from September 18 - September 20, 2015

Международный фестиваль кино Эрмосильо родился в 2012, основанный группой молодых предпринимателей со страстью к кино и с желанием признать тех, кто разделяет и живет этой страстью через свои фильмы, благодаря усилиям некоммерческой ассоциации и с целью признания усилия и талант кинематографистов по всему миру, обеспечивая источник культуры и туризма, который стимулирует развитие таланта и любви к кино для государства и общества.
Международный кинофестиваль в Сан-Педро был основан, чтобы отметить разнообразную культуру и сообщество Сан-Педро с широким спектром независимых фильмов, документальных фильмов и шорт.

Работы, которые выражают свежие голоса и различные глобальные перспективы, с целью, чтобы эти фильмы просвещали аудиторию, обеспечивая неоценимую экспозицию для кинематографистов, как местных, так и международных.
В первый год у нас был первый показ в Лос-Анджелесе «Серебряные подкладки». На втором году мы принимали Эрни ЛаПуанта, Великого внука Сидяного Быка. В 2015 году мы отметили 20-летие обычных подозреваемых вместе с режиссером Брайаном Сингером. У нас также было два короткометражных фильма, выигравших или номинированных на премию «Академия»! В 2017 году мы провели 30-ю годовщину пятницы 13-го с режиссером Шоном С. Каннингем. Мы очень рады нашему седьмому году!
Плодотворный американский писатель и поэт Чарльз Буковски 15 лет называл Сан-Педро домом. Некоторые из ранних короткометражных фильмов DW Griffith были сняты в Сан-Педро. В наши дни вы, скорее всего, найдете съемочные группы для Морской полиции, Безумных людей и Декстера. Другие фильмы, снятые в Сан-Педро, включают «Кинг-Конг», «Чайнатаун», «Прорыв точки», «Молчание ягнят», «Обычные подозреваемые», «Перл Харбор», «Титаник», «500 дней Лета» и многое другое.

Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.
This project involves bringing students and teachers from different countries to participate with their films . Part of the program are even lectures and workshops of the movie professionals from different countries about film issues. We think that is very important for a student to confront with other students from around the world, so to know different cultures, different thoughts and to analyse the way their colleges work. We hope that First Step Fest will be a good chance young filmmakers in Albania to get inspiration and continue their dream.

Short movies/cartoons: authors aged 14 and over can participate; short movies/cartoons must be between 1’ and 35’ long; we accept Italian works and foreign language works subtitled in Italian.
Direct Short and Documentary Film Festival hosts monthly 'Online International Short and Documentary Film Festivals'.
