The festival in Paris actually presents around 300 films coming from around 50 countries at different places in Paris. In Berlin the festival will be performed in the legendary cinema Babylon.
The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.

Benvenuti alla Radical Frame Film Series - 2020 Short Film Series - Berlino
Noi al Radical Frame Film Festival siamo orgogliosi di annunciare l'edizione otto di Short Film Series.
L'idea del Radical Frame Film Festival è iniziata qualche anno fa quando un gruppo di attivisti, artisti e amici di Denver ha deciso di portare i messaggi del cinema attivista video negli occhi del pubblico. Riteniamo che, a causa dell'attuale clima sociale e politico, sia a livello locale che globale, la nostra missione — di fornire un forum per film e dibattiti che stimolano il pensiero — sia più critica che mai.
Ci impegniamo a presentare film progressisti, di sinistra, radicali, antirazzisti, sperimentali e visionari che affrontano temi quali, a titolo esemplificativo, l'ambiente, i diritti umani, l'ingiustizia sociale, l'anti-globalizzazione, ecc...
Il Radical Frame Film Festival mette in mostra ogni genere di film indipendente provenienti da tutto il mondo durante questa incredibile celebrazione bi-continentale di artisti indipendenti.
Il Radical Frame Film Festival è un forum in cui i registi possono prosperare al di fuori dell'arena principale. Artisti creativi che infrangono continuamente i confini del cinema, del video, dell'arte e della musica sono promossi attraverso questo festival, così anche loro hanno una voce in un mercato saturo di intrattenimento commerciale progettato per soddisfare le aspettative del pubblico.
La serie di cortometraggi rivolge i riflettori su cortometraggi veramente indipendenti, creati da registinuovi e affermati
Lo scopo è quello di permettere a chiunque, indipendentemente dal paese, di fare un passo verso i propri sogni e iniziare a prendere i passi per vivere la vita con passione e scopo.
L'obiettivo principale della serie di cortometraggi è quello di essere un luogo in cui registi e artisti emergenti di tutto il mondo hanno una possibilità da scoprire e realizzare i loro sogni.
