L’associazione culturale La Guarimba ha come obiettivo quello di riportare il cinema alla gente e la gente al cinema. Questa motivazione ci ha portato a riparare un vecchio cinema all’aperto di 938 posti in Calabria; ad organizzare un festival del cortometraggio internazionale con ingresso libero; a creare La Scuola Delle Scimmie in Puglia, un processo di formazione di cinema e di illustrazione indipendente per 45 ragazzi; ci ha fatto creare La Guarimba On Tour dove ogni anno portiamo la nostra selezione di cortometraggi in giro per il mondo; e infine, ad agosto 2015, abbiamo organizzato la prima conferenza europea di Vimeo, il più grande distributore di cinema online diretto.
Wir sind ein internationales Kurzfilmfestival, das das spirituelle Kino mit einer universellen Sprache zum Ausdruck bringt, das sich mit inneren Angelegenheiten des Menschen befasst, ein Kino des Unsichtbaren, das die Essenz des Tiefen und Transzendenten in introspektiven und reflektierenden Geschichten einfängt; mit Fragen und Antworten über das Leben. Jede Geschichte ist eine von innen heraus geerntete Frucht und symbolisiert 9 spirituelle Werte, die für uns grundlegend sind: Liebe, Freude, Frieden, Geduld, Sanftheit, Freundlichkeit, Treue, Demut und Selbstbeherrschung.
Animafest Cyprus Views of the World, started in 2002 as a documentary festival in a small village, and was called the Small Documentary Festival. It was later re-named Countryside Animafest Cyprus – Views of the World focusing exclusively on the art of Animated Film. The festival’s uniqueness is its setting in the countryside, and this continues to this day.
As audiences have grown significantly in recent years the festival has moved to different villages to accommodate the large number of spectators and now at the Lusignian Manor House garden located at the The ancient town of Palaipafos.It continues to draw a very diverse audience, from across the social spectrum. The fact that it draws young people from metropolitan areas to previously unknown rural areas we feel is a very important contribution to the country’s cultural life.
Animafest Cyprus is the main platform for Animated Film in Cyprus and has the official support of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus and ASIFA Cyprus. The Festival is a co – organization between the Hambis Printmaking Museum & Views of the World. HELLENIC BANK is the official award sponsor for both Cypriot and International Competition.
The festival is active through the year. It’s main activities include «Animafest Cyprus on tour», which presents the best of Animafest Cyprus at various locations around the country throughout the year, including schools, film festivals, cinemas, galleries, etc, always in non-commercial screenings; in the context of Animafest on tour we are organizing Lectures & workshops in animation, taking place at Universities and public schools. Every November we organize an Academic forum on Animation at the Cyprus University of Technology, bringing together academics from Cyprus and abroad. This forum is organised in collaboration with Media Desk Cyprus

Das 13. jährliche Toyama International Film Festival findet im Juni 2026 in der Präfektur Toyama statt. Nach dem großen Erfolg in den vergangenen Jahren freuen wir uns, die Visionen von Filmemachern aus der ganzen Welt erneut mit unserer lokalen Gemeinschaft auf dem Land Japans zu teilen.

Das jährliche Toyama International Film Festival (TIFF) begann in der ländlichen Präfektur Toyama, Japan. Wir wurden von einigen Englischlehrern in der Region gegründet und hofften, Menschen nicht nur in Japan, sondern auf der ganzen Welt zu erreichen.
Das erste TIFF fand in einem kleinen Raum in einem Einkaufszentrum statt, wo etwa 70 Personen die 10 Filme sahen, die wir erhalten hatten. Das darauffolgende Jahr war ein großer Erfolg mit über 100 Einreichungen aus verschiedenen Ländern, ein ziemlicher Fortschritt gegenüber unserem ersten Jahr. Die Veranstaltung fand in der Stadt Toyama an einem lokalen, unabhängigen Veranstaltungsort, Bodegas-Mambo, statt. Rund 80-100 Gäste kamen, um sich die Filme anzusehen. Seitdem hoffen wir, jedes Jahr noch weiter zu expandieren und den Teilnehmern und der Kinogemeinde in Japan einen noch größeren Veranstaltungsort zu bieten.
Heute ist TIFF mit über 3000 Einreichungen jedes Jahr aus Ländern auf der ganzen Welt zu einer mit Spannung erwarteten jährlichen Veranstaltung und zu einem festen Bestandteil der internationalen Gemeinschaft von Toyama geworden.
Hinweis: Aus Zeitgründen können wir keine Filme akzeptieren, die länger als 10 Minuten dauern. Es wird jedoch jedes Genre von Kurzfilmen für eine Ausstellung in Betracht gezogen.
