FILOSOFIA
Cosa ci spinge:
Un concorso dedicato al cinema trascendentale, nelle sue diverse accezioni, tra cui il cinema filosofico, psicologico, scientifico, antropologico, spirituale e poetico.
Perché la trascendenza, nell'uomo e nel mondo, potrebbe alla fine essere ineffabile e, in questo, l'arte cinematografica ha alcuni vantaggi e un'enorme responsabilità.
CINEMA GRATUITO
Tutte le possibilità cinematografiche sono benvenute, con un grande interesse per le rarità
SENZA TEMPO
Cinemística come spazio-tempo aperto, con caratteristiche non restrittive, che consente agli autori di sviluppare il proprio linguaggio: sono accettati tutti i formati, la durata, la nazionalità, l'anno di produzione, ecc.
UN RIFUGIO
Un rifugio internazionale per film che intendono, tecnicamente o con la trama, un approccio al grande mistero della rappresentazione del mondo, nell'arte e nell'uomo. Senza dogmi, sotto qualsiasi prospettiva individuale o collettiva, dalla fede, ma anche dall'agnosticismo, dall'ateismo spirituale e dal pensiero scientifico.
UN CINEMA POETICO DI CONTEMPLAZIONE
I look dei registi, in tutta la loro diversità socioculturale, sono interessati a qualsiasi film come risultato di scoperte, ricerche o sperimentazioni personali, ispirazione e lavoro, frutto della rivelazione o dell'introspezione degli autori. Quotidianità, estasi e disparità come strutture per creare profondità nel trattamento cinematografico.
ASCETISMO
Il misticismo e l'ascetismo nella produzione cinematografica rappresentano, probabilmente, un patrimonio più assoluto rispetto ad altri, perché un cinema con un budget enorme e una maggiore complessità tecnica si potrebbe realizzare, ma a volte il film più umile e semplice è, tuttavia, universale.
L'ALAMBICCO
Le cinematografie impermanenti, dall'immagine fissa al cinema «amatoriale» (dal verbo francese aimer), definiscono i registi non solo in base a ciò che mostrano e come lo fanno sullo schermo, ma anche in base a ciò che decidono di non mostrare.
FENOMENOLOGIA
Ciò che appare e scompare, le topologie emergono, materiali o coscienti, e la loro invisibilità o successiva scadenza. L'ambiente sequenziale del vuoto, della materia e del tempo. Interrompe il discorso, eloquente, ognuno può capirlo da solo. Assenza e miracolo: Mystic come possibile convivenza.
CORDIALITÀ, COMUNICAZIONE E COLLOQUI
Grande importanza dei colloqui e dell'interazione dal vivo tra spettatori e registi. Massima comunicazione, rispetto, simpatia e vicinanza da parte dell'organizzazione ai registi, artisti e registi che vengono a presentare i loro film.
In March 2004 the 1st international short film festival for films by artists was held in Gstaad, Switzerland, with the ultimate prize being 'The Golden Cow of Gstaad'. For the organisers of Gstaad Film, the event was a great success: Many artists made use of the possibility to present their works at the festival & the quality of the program was high, attracting many films from Switzerland and entries from as far away as Argentina. The three days of the festival gave many possibilities for interesting contacts, not only for we the organisers, but also for a numerous and interested audience who were left excited, enthralled and enriched by the experience.
The positive reaction generated over the three-day period encouraged us to start organising a second festival. To improve the organisation and to give the participants/entrants more time, we decided to organise the festival in a two-year cycle, as a biennale.
Mecal Pro, il Festival internazionale del cortometraggio e dell'animazione di Barcellona, celebrerà la sua 28a edizione. La lunga storia di MECAL PRO lo ha consolidato come uno dei festival di cortometraggi più importanti in Europa e nel mondo, ricevendo così il sostegno di istituzioni locali, nazionali e internazionali. Nel 2025 abbiamo proiettato più di 300 cortometraggi nelle 29 sezioni che programmiamo.
Mecal è fortemente impegnata a promuovere l'esposizione e la diffusione di creazioni audiovisive in formato breve, non solo presso il pubblico, ma anche facendo incontrare creatori e distributori attraverso diverse attività. Mecal si dedica anche alla promozione dei talenti emergenti, organizzando eventi e premi appositamente rivolti ai giovani creatori. In questo senso, funziona anche come rete di diffusione di cortometraggi, organizzando proiezioni sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, collaborando con festival, ambasciate e istituzioni di tutto il mondo.
Le festival La Garenne\Tout Court propose un projet culturel unique dans les Hauts-de-Seine : une compétition de courts-métrages qui valorisent la création indépendante, française et européenne.
Le festival présentera donc trois sélections de courts-métrages.
La première sera composée de fictions réalisées sans le soutien du CNC ni des chaînes de télévision. Non pas que le festival s’inscrive contre ces sources de financement, mais nous ne voulons pas créer un énième festival où seraient exposés des films qui ont déjà une belle vie ailleurs.
La Garenne\Tout Court, c’est un espace de diffusion parallèle, dédié aux œuvres insolites, un soutien à la diffusion de films plus fragiles.
La deuxième aura pour ambition de faire découvrir des films originaux venus de toute l’Europe.
La troisième sélection aura pour objectif de sensibiliser le jeune public autour d’un ciné-p’tit déj.
Aucun genre n’est imposé, la seule contrainte déterminée à l’avance est celle de la durée : 15 minutes pour les sélections française et européenne et 10 minutes pour le ciné-p’tit déj.
Un comité de présélection composé de membres de l’association 2euxième Acte retiendra une trentaine de films. Les films sélectionnés devront répondre à des impératifs d’originalité, de qualités artistiques mais aussi techniques.
Le festival La Garenne\Tout Court est également un lieu de convergence entre les acteurs du monde cinématographique et un moment de rencontre privilégié et convivial avec le grand public.
The Beeston Film Festival attracts the latest global short films to the East Midlands AND NOW to filmmakers too! In a unique offering your Beeston Film Festival entry fee is your admission to watch the whole On-line Festival! You will be able to watch the competition in your category and enjoy the talent in all the others.
The On-Line Festival presents films accepted into ALL categories – Drama, Comedy, Horror, Documentary, Animation and the local Three Counties competition. The On-Line Festival will be available for 3 weeks after the festival in Beeston.
The Beeston Oscar, or B’Oscar, is awarded to the best film in the following categories - Drama, Horror, Comedy, Documentary and Animation.
This year a new local competition has been created called Three Counties category, that is split into two sections: Long (up to 15 minutes); and Short (up to 5 minutes). Filmmakers from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire ONLY with films in any genre can submit. The prize pool is amazing because we have teamed up with Matthew Martino Benevolent Fund (MMBF), a UK based international charity that supports filmmakers and actors, so as well as a B’Oscar there is
Three Counties Long - a MMBF Rising Star Award (£150 prize, mentoring plus physical award and other perks)
Three Counties Short - a MMBF Best Short Award (£50 prize and physical award).
Further prizes will be awarded for Best Director, Best Script, Best Cinematography, Best Acting Performance, Best Soundtrack & Sound Design and an Audience award, too. And, of course, there is a wonderful Best in Festival B’Oscar, too, designed by the renowned ceramic artist, Anna Collette Hunt.

The Roze Filmdagen have been a constant factor in Amsterdam's LGBTQ cultural landscape since 1996. The festival has earned an excellent reputation amongst its visitors, as well as with filmmakers and festivals abroad.
An organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, CineKink is seeking films and videos that explore and celebrate the wide diversity of sexuality for our annual NYC-based festival.
Scheduled for its 12th annual appearance in February 2015, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will include a short film competition, audience choice awards, an adult industry showcase, presentations, parties and a gala kick-off, with a national screening tour to follow.
Cutting across orientations, topics covered at CineKink have included — but are by no means limited to — BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, roleplay and gender bending, sex work and sex geekery. We’re looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings of any length and genre drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between. Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game. (Far be it from us to define “kink” — if you think your work might make sense in this context, please send it along!)
The Rome Independent Film Festival (RIFF) is Italy 's first independent and international film festival. Its aim is to unite enthusiasm for films and filmmaking among young filmmakers with the realities of film production and distribution.Since its first edition in 2001, RIFF has become an event that is followed with more and more interest by the public in Rome and a reference for worldwide filmmakers. In these years, the Riff has received works coming from the 5 continents, ending up being an attentive witness representative of the directions and passions of the independent film industry.
(r)evolution AI - the RIFF new section dedicated to the production of films and videos with the application of AI technology.
From this year the RIFF celebrates visual storytelling created with artificial intelligence.
This new competition section promotes innovative applications of AI technology in audiovisual production and presentation.
Bare Bones was created to champion the small budget filmmaker who wears many hats to bring their project to completion By Any Means Necessary. BAMN! 'No Frills-No Waste' is our common battle cry.
If you are a fiercely independent filmmaker producing small budget films or a screenwriter that can craft a script that can be shot on a small (less than a million dollar) budget, this festival is for you.
We are a festival run by Filmmakers, Professors of Film and Film Fans for Filmmakers, Film Students and Film Fans at all levels of expertise. This is a festival where recognition is generous and you are the Star no matter what role you played or how many roles you assumed, everyone is treated like a Rock Star. We roll out the red carpet for your premiere, allow time for Q & A following the screening, or the block of films if you are in the shorts category. We hold live readings of your screenplay with professional actors with you directing.
If you have special skills, you may be invited to moderate a panel or participate as a panelist. Festival Alumni also serve as Awards Presenters during the Bonehead Awards Gala.
KloosterKino is the place to be for animated shorts in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Three times a year we show the best animated shorts from all over the world in a friendly setting. The screenings take place in a historic cloister, which dates back to 1909, and are not subject to admission.
KloosterKino shows work by young filmmakers, but also pays attention to classic animated film. Throughout the year we also work with other festivals and cultural organizations to arrange screenings of animated shorts.
But why animated shorts? Well, first of all, because we love them! But also because too few animated shorts are shown theatrically in the Netherlands. KloosterKino wants to show animation in all its diversity: from stop-motion to CGI, from narrative to abstract, homegrown and from far away. In doing so, we hope to aid in the diffusion of the artistic animated short.
We intend to be an alternative to the larger animation festivals by offering screenings which are both accessible and challenging. We stand for high quality animated film in welcoming surroundings. Our target audience is not just the animation aficionado, but also those who normally don’t watch animation, but are open to a surprising and stimulating program of films.
KloosterKino is a nonprofit foundation, that depends on volunteers and gifts.
