OUR GOAL
Our goal is to discover and showcase creative filmmakers and their films to the global culturally diversified community.
Il Festival del cinema di 100 secondi è un incontro per i registi internazionali che usano la loro brevità e la loro infinita creatività artistica per realizzare un film con immagini promettenti del «cinema etnico» in varie dimensioni, formati e prospettive, per perfezionare la vita del pubblico creando cortometraggi fino a 100 secondi di arte. La tredicesima edizione di questo festival si terrà dal 28 febbraio al 3 marzo 2023 nella città di Teheran, in IRAN; dopo una pausa di 4 anni a causa della crisi del Corona.
Mario Cervantes ha organizado el XIII Festival de cine social ManzanaREC que tendrá lugar en febrero de 2025 en la localidad de Manzanares (Ciudad Real). Los trabajos serán exhibidos en la Sala de la Casa de Cultura de Manzanares.
A vibrant arts event celebrating film in the beautiful city of St Albans, just 20 mins from London.
During the three days festival, the Food Film Festival attempts to cover all aspects of everything related to food. Aside from documentaries, feature films, animation, short and experimental films the festival boasts a variety of debate, lectures, live shows and workshops. This broad approach leads to the multifaceted program the subject deserves.
The Food Film Festival believes that good stories have the power to transform the world.
By creating a stage for food stories the Food Film Festival hopes to convey the love for food and at the same time it denounces the many problems related to our current day food system.
THE NEXT EDITION OF THE MADEIRA FILM FESTIVAL WILL BE MARCH 27 - APRIL 1 2020.
We continue to accept submissions but please not your film will be submitted to the 2020 edition NOT 2019. This is due to Government elections on Madeira.
Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

The Madeira Film Festival is non – competitive. Rather than present awards MFF offers delegates the status of ‘AMBASSADOR OF THE LAURISSILVA’ thus helping to preserve and create awareness of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva forest.
The Madeira Film Festival organisation fervently believes there is no better place in the world to stage a film festival than on the piquant Island of Madeira and there is no better place on Madeira to stage a film festival than in glorious Reid’s Palace Hotel and the Municipal Theatre in Funchal.
The crux of the Madeira Film Festival is to pay homage to the resilience of Madeira’s endemic Laurissilva Forest by screening a slate of films which are expansive, unsettling and profound,films which will hopefully impinge upon the viewers imagination.
One of the most effective measures that can be implemented in order to raise awareness of the Laurissilva forest and subsequently it’s preservation is through the undisputed persuasive strength of audio- visual communication. The aspiration of the Madeira Film Festival is to become one of Europe’s foremost film festivals, by sheer virtue of location there exists an inherent capacity to attain this.
The Canada International Film Festival has firmly established itself among the top film festivals in Canada. Held each year in the beautiful and cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, British Columbia, the festival brings the very best of world cinema to Canada from over 90 countries around the world.
Dodicesima. Festival dell'audiovisivo per bambini (FICAIJ), 2021-2022
Venezuela-Colombia
Il Festival audiovisivo per bambini, conosciuto con il suo acronimo FICAIJ, è nato a Mérida, Venezuela, nel 2010, e si è consolidato dopo 12 anni come una delle vetrine più importanti per l'esposizione di contenuti educativi e alternativi di qualità e contenuti commerciali per bambini, adolescenti, giovani e famiglie del paese e della regione.
Dopo aver partecipato a più di 41.385 partecipanti nelle sue 11 edizioni precedenti che hanno avuto un impatto diretto in 6 paesi del mondo. Di fronte al panorama della pandemia che stiamo vivendo ancora attraverso il COVID-19, abbiamo assunto la sfida di trasformarci e attivare la nostra dodicesima edizione sul web con incidenza principale nei paesi della nostra regione. Inoltre, stiamo progettando di avere alcune proiezioni di persona in Venezuela e Colombia.
Storia:
Più di 1.506 cortometraggi e lunghi provenienti da 81 paesi di tutto il mondo sono stati trasmessi sugli schermi della FICAIJ, e più di 392 persone, tra cui bambini, adolescenti, giovani e adulti, hanno valutato e giudicato questi film.
I nostri giurati provengono non solo dal Venezuela ma anche da altri 9 paesi: Argentina, Brasile, Cuba, Ecuador, Italia, Kenya, Messico, Spagna e Sud Africa, partecipando alla rappresentanza dei loro luoghi di origine.
Filosofia:
Promuoviamo audiovisivi da un punto di vista riflessivo e produttivo, invitando bambini, adolescenti e giovani ad assumere un ruolo attivo come creatori e prosumer.
Missione:
FICAIJ cerca di incoraggiare la creazione, la produzione, l'esposizione e la distribuzione di contenuti di qualità per e da parte di bambini, adolescenti e giovani nella regione, stimolando il protagonista dei bambini in tutti questi processi.
2. Laboratorio FICAIJ:
Con il duplice scopo di rafforzare, da un lato, la produzione di bambini, giovani e contenuti familiari a livello regionale e, dall'altro, la formazione degli insegnanti nell'istruzione con e per i media, una necessità più evidente di fronte all'educazione digitale imposta dalla pandemia, all'organizzazione di FICAIJ assume la sfida di sviluppare la seconda edizione del suo Laboratorio FICAIJ, uno spazio formativo rivolto al settore della produzione di contenuti per ragazzi e ragazze latinoamericane e al settore dell'educazione.
