O festival InShadow explora a combinação entre o humano e o tecnológico, o InArt centra-se no tema das artes comunitárias inclusivas, e o LAC promove a ideia do debate cinematográfico entre as gerações mais novas, focando-se essencialmente em animações de maior valor social e psicológico.

“Cinestrange” is dedicated to the international film. Alongside entertainment, which is clearly in the focus, special attention is devoted to the genre cinema. . “Cinestrange” has taken on the task each year to uncover another facet in the rich range of genre cinema. Besides big premieres, new discoveries and fancy misfits who seek to provide the right mix of ambition and entertainment, it is one of the essential functions of “Cinestrange” to promote the rediscovery of forgotten genres, to put them in the context of a reassessment with public appeal and make them available to everyone.
O Anima-São - Festival Internacional de Animação da cidade de São Gonçalo (RJ) - é uma atividade para congregar todos os amantes do Cinema de Animação na Região do Recôncavo da Baía de Guanabara.
O Cinema (a chamada 7ª Arte) tem uma divisão, o Cinema de Animação, que por sua vez se sub-divide em Animação 2D, Animação 3D, “Pixilation”, “Stop-Motion” e várias outras técnicas. Uma produção pode ser feita com uma ou várias destas. O uso da Animação é tão difundido que nem se percebe sua ação nas produções audiovisuais contemporâneas.
O Festival Anima-São tem por objetivo demonstrar a produção atual dessas técnicas, utilizadas por vários produtores no Mundo inteiro. O Festival Anima-São traz para a cidade de São Gonçalo o melhor da Animação Nacional e Internacional.
As Oficinas do Festival são ocasiões de contato entre as pessoas e as técnicas. São oportunidades de mostrar ou mesmo descobrir seu talento próprio.
As Mesas de Debate do Festival são momentos de ver de perto os produtores renomados de filmes e representantes de empresas que produzem o que vimos na Mídia. Nessas ocasiões a interatividade da platéia é o elemento mais importante.
O Coliseu é o momento que ficamos cara-a-cara com uma “fera”, isto é, uma grande personalidade da área. De perto para aprender com sua experiência e termos alegria de olhar para talvez nosso ideal de profissão.
A Sessão Papagoiaba é característica do Festival: produções feitas em São Gonçalo por gonçalenses. Aqui se produz Cultura!
O Festival Anima-São tem sua “parte inclusiva”, isto é, crianças e jovens de comunidades carentes da cidade estão presentes especialmente convidados pela Produção do Festival.

Ars Independent Festival 2019 will be the 9th multimedia festival of film, animation, video games and music videos. The upcoming edition will take place in Katowice, between the 24th and 29th of September 2019.
The festival is searching for what’s cool in young, debuting, contemporary audio-visual culture. It’s not afraid to watch videos with 27 views on YouTube, it’s missing the “least popular” sorting option on itch.io and considers Festival Scope Pro decidedly “too mainstream”.
The heart of the festival are four international competitions, in which the audience decides about the awarding of prizes. The Black Horse of Film (feature films from all over the world) and the Black Horse of Animation (short features) present the cinematographic debuts by directors from the entire world, often as their Polish premieres. The Black Horse of Video Games and the Black Horse of Music Video are devoted to new games and music videos.
Additionally, every year festivalgoers are treated to: screenings of films, animations and music videos, video game exhibitions, virtual reality and new technologies, discussion panels and Q&As with artists, concerts, live acts and musical afterparties.
In previous years, the festival hosted a variety of artists from all over the world, including Béla Tarr, Nina Menkes, Phil Mulloy, Laila Pakalnina, Bruce LaBruce, Tami Tamaki, Stephen „M.O.O.N.” Gilarde, Jakuba Dvorský, Mariola Brillowska, Piotr Dumała, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Bodo Kox, Łukasz Barczyk, Sos Sosowski, Wiktor Stribog and Władysław Komendarek.
The event is organized by the culture institution Katowice the City of Gardens and the City of Katowice.

The Diabolique International Film Festival takes place September 19-20, 2014 in Bloomington, Indiana for the premiere showcase of independent genre cinema, featuring horror, sci-fi, fantasy and animation.
The Diabolique International Film Festival began more than 8 years ago. Since 2007 we have screened over 250 films from more than a dozen countries, and from almost every state in the US. We’ve had the honor of hosting visiting filmmakers from around the country, and from around the world. Over the years, we have gained a reputation as a festival that truly values independent genre films and the people who make them. Many of the movies from our past festivals have been picked up by major distributors, and our event has provided numerous networking opportunities.
As a result, we’ve been featured in a variety of national publications, having been recognized by MovieMaker Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee,” and one of the “13 Horror Film Festivals to Die For.”
The new year brings some big changes to the festival, including a new name, new venue, and new sponsors. We’re particularly excited to announce our partnership with one of the fastest growing genre publications in the world, Diabolique Magazine. The publishers of Diabolique bring their considerable industry connections and marketing reach to the table in a way that we hope will propel this festival forward for many years to come.
In addition to a name change, we’re also excited to announce our new venue, IU Cinema on the Indiana University campus. With state-of-the-art 2K and 4K digital projection (as well as 16mm and 35mm film projection) IU Cinema offers the highest possible projection quality.
True to David Reuben's classic book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask " we love movies that give us new insights on topics like sexual liberation, erotic fantasies, BDSM, sexual shame, cultural sexual diffrences, the "new" prudery, pornography, the impact of the internet porn on our sexuality and sex activism. The discourse with the filmmakers and actors is very important to us. Therefore we try to invite as many protagonists and directors as possible to our festival and thus offer the audience the opportunity for a dialogue.
