Negli ultimi decenni, e contemporaneamente all'emergere di nuove tecnologie che hanno finito per scansionare la maggior parte dei processi del film, il documentario ha conosciuto una crescita notoria e sistematica in tutto il mondo. Nel nostro paese, e da più di un decennio, una produzione che prima era legata quasi esclusivamente alla fiction si è arricchita di nuovi argomenti, nuovi approcci, nuove geografie, nuovi dilemmi.
È in questo contesto che FIDBA viene proposta come prima. Festival internazionale del cinema dedicato a questo genere, in cui i film con gli stessi fan - purché riteniamo che le forme e le modalità del film documentario siano diverse da quelle della fiction - possono incontrarsi e dialogare tra loro e con il pubblico. Se il documentario è un punto d'incontro per la FIDBA, lo è nella misura in cui propone un'interpellanza alle memorie poco conosciute, inquietanti presenti e (nostro) futuro sospesi. FIDBA sarà quindi un approccio non solo tra pubblico, registi e pensatori legato al documentario, ma anche in relazione alle possibilità sempre stimolanti che consentono di aprire questo spazio ad altre espressioni di confine ed eterodosse incorniciate all'interno di ciò che chiameremmo «saggistica» e che ci incoraggiano a dialogare con espressioni contemporanee che vanno oltre lo scopo del film.
La FIDBA presterà particolare attenzione a quei registi per i quali il cinema è legato a una forma di ricerca e conoscenza del mondo che ci circonda per quanto riguarda il ritratto di esseri umani le cui condizioni di vita, in determinati contesti storici e sociali, ti permettono di chiederci informazioni sul nostro. Sono quindi autori che non solo riflettono la realtà, ma anche il rapporto etico e morale che implica filmare l'altro.
FIDBA mira a diventare un punto di supporto per i registi che cercano di ampliare la percezione della realtà e per i film che rappresentano un passo avanti nello sforzo di comprenderla e anticiparla. Quindi, si concentrerà su film la cui originalità estetica mette a rischio non solo un'idea del documentario, ma anche un pensiero sullo stesso film e sulle sue possibilità. Poiché questa attenzione implica mettere in discussione lo status del fronte reale della macchina da presa o del film rispetto alla realtà, ciò è altrettanto inseparabile dalle mediazioni che ne derivano.
KRAFTA DOC International, Art Making Film Festival is the first international documentary film festival about making art. We love makers. Contemporary art, design, craft, food or industry, KRAFTA DOC loves people who change the world with their own hands and their own ideas. Behind the materials there is history and memory, a lively network of partnerships and professions, a commitment, very often lived as a vocation.
In a world of great change and fast information, we wanted to stop to listen to the voices of those who work in the world of art, design and architecture. We are fascinated to know where things come from, and documenting the traditions, we will open infinite possible worlds. Reinvigorating the past can create a debate to develop new sectors for the future or rediscover the forgotten ones, in a more conscious way.
KRAFTA DOC considers any type of filmmaker, independent, established, groups or collectives, commercial or educational institutions.

Terror Film Festival is a blood-chilling, alien-probing, international film festival that is unlike any other film festival, because we are designed specifically for filmmakers and screenwriters. TFF runs every October and being an online film festival allows us to remove all of your shackles from traditional venues. Problems like...capacity limits, late starts, rude staff, bad audio, lobby noise, projection snags, parking fees, ticket mishaps, etc...who needs them?! They are all designed to ruin YOUR screening. Well, no more!!
We have removed these problems, and with them now gone, TFF can offer you MORE people to see YOUR film (imagine 25 people vs 25 Million people). TFF increases the potential for you to gain more loyal fans. Plus, we offer the one and only, Claw Awards, for film and screenplay. And, our world-class screenwriting competition is a great feather in the cap for any screenwriter. We do our best to let you know that it is all about YOU. And, yes, we do accept Music Videos in any of the genres.
“TFF believes that it is through a legion of fans that a filmmaker or screenwriter can build a solid career in entertainment.”
~ Fel Angel, Filmmaker/Screenwriter/Festival Director/Terror Film Festival
Terror Film Festival was founded by filmmakers and screenwriters, and we know how difficult the road to success can be. That’s why we screen short films during the festival, but not the feature films. We only screen the feature film "trailers". The reason being that the integrity of your feature film must be kept intact if you expect to get a distribution deal. This way, your project can still be reviewed, you can still compete in the Claw Awards competition, and you can still have the opportunity to sell your film to fans during the festival. But, you do not suffer any interference with any distribution deal offers! Plus, All films and screenplays are reviewed by our selections committee, and all selected films and screenplays then become nominated for the coveted Claw Awards. Who knows, perhaps YOU will win the next Claw Award!
Terror Film Festival considers both short and feature length films and scripts (completed and Works-In-Progress), and we offer exposure, prestige, recognition, amazing exposure, and the Claw Awards. And we are completely driven by love of the craft. That's why TFF is committed to the filmmakers and screenwriters who bring great genre movies to the world. TFF is Halloween Cinematic!
Terror Film Festival is run like no other festival, because it is designed to help promote YOUR PROJECT, and more importantly, YOU. Our innovations are all designed to further YOUR career. Such as: Princess Horror, the first-ever film festival icon who is loved and followed by a legion of fans; The Claw Awards, the first-ever full-blown genre dedicated awards (heralded as "The Oscars of Indie Filmmaking"); Free Submitted Film Listings, the first and only listing of submitted films on a festival website in our massive stand alone section as an additional promotional vehicle for our creative artists as a thank you JUST FOR SUBMITTING A PROJECT.
Terror Film Festival also pioneered placing video interviews of our creative artists on our website. These are all unique marketing ideas that no other film festival in the world had ever explored before TFF. And we do it all because it brings more attention to YOU. TFF pioneered all of these concepts in 2006 to better serve our filmmakers and screenwriters, and we are proud to continue to offer them to our creative artists.
Thank You and Good Luck from Terror Film Festival.

The Flagler Film Festival was formed to showcase the work of new and emerging filmmakers as well as more experienced filmmakers. We believe there are many creative and innovative artists who deserve recognition for their efforts, especially those constrained by low budgets. We believe that sometimes even more creativity is required when a filmmaker has little or no budget with which to create a film. We believe these films should be seen and be recognized for the efforts of the teams that put them together. The writers, directors, crew, actors and all the talented people involved in the production of a film, whether it is a feature or a short, deserve to have a chance to be seen. We are proud to give filmmakers an opportunity to show their work.
Our fourth annual Flagler Film Festival showcased many fantastic films from around the world, including a short animation which was nominated this year for an Academy Award! Films produced by students from Florida State University, NYU, University of Virginia, Savannah College of Art & Design, Full Sail University, and the American Film Institute were screened as well as films from graduates of many other fine colleges and universities. We were proud to showcase local filmmakers as well as filmmakers from such diverse locations as Luxembourg, Spain, France, Rwanda, Australia, Nepal, Canada, Serbia, Iran, and Peru. As an artistic community, we enjoy including musicians, writers and artists at our festival as well as filmmakers. This year our special guest was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Steve Boone, of the '60's band The Lovin' Spoonful. Steve met many of our audience and signed CDs, albums and his new book, "Hotter than a Match Head: On the Run with the Lovin' Spoonful." We showcased a short comedy from actor Chris Roach who currently stars on CBS in "Kevin Can Wait" with Kevin James. One of our documentaries, "Daddy Don't Go" was recently picked up by Starz and will be available to the public!
The third annual Flagler Film Festival was proud to showcase amazing films from around the world. We had a film about a Grammy-nominated children's choir from Uganda called "Imba Means Sing" (now in national distribution), a documentary film by an Emmy Award winning filmmaker, a film narrated by the Academy Award winning, legendary actress Olivia De Havilland, two films which won student Emmy Awards and two films which were screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner. We were very proud to be the only festival in Florida to screen "Animals" an independent feature film written by and starring David Dastmalchian (Ant Man, The Dark Knight) now in national distribution. In addition, we had a terrific assortment of low budget, independent and student films which amazed our audience.

Please see their websites or IMDb for more info and congratulations to them from the festival!
Our second annual festival showcased excellent student and small budget films as well as films with extraordinary credentials, including a film written by two-time Academy Award winning screenwriter, Horton Foote (To Kill a Mockingbird).
