Bašta Fest es un festival internacional de cortometrajes de ficción que se celebra en Bajina Bašta, Serbia Occidental. Es un evento anual que se celebra durante el primer fin de semana de julio y dura cuatro días. Debido a la profesión de los fundadores (los actores Jovan Jelisavčić y Maja Šuša), el principal punto de interés del festival es la colaboración entre directores y actores. Creemos que centrarse en la calidad de ese esfuerzo artístico conjunto tendrá un impacto positivo en el posicionamiento del Bašta Fest entre los festivales de cortometrajes. Bašta Fest es de gran importancia para la descentralización de la cultura, ya que ha traído películas, música y programas fuera del programa a esta hermosa región. Una de las prioridades del festival es promover la increíble belleza natural entre un gran número de visitantes. Sin embargo, nuestro principal objetivo es convertir este festival en un emocionante oasis cultural, que apoya a jóvenes artistas locales e internacionales, poniendo énfasis en los cortometrajes de ficción con autenticidad. La selección principal es un programa de cortometrajes de competición, mientras que dos películas se proyectan como parte de un programa especial no competitivo cada año, una durante la inauguración y otra durante la ceremonia de clausura. El último que se proyecta es un primer largometraje serbio, elegido por el equipo de Bašta fest como el más exitoso del año anterior. La entrada a todas las proyecciones en Bašta es gratuita, mientras que siempre se celebran bajo los cielos nocturnos abiertos. Actualmente hay dos lugares oficiales del festival: el parque Borići y el lago Perućac.

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.

Mission:
A judged film festival described as "Sundance with Fangs" by Newsday Long Island. We provide a venue for showcasing your films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those of you who passionately craft your Strange-ifical, Weird-ifical, Horror-ifical, Sci-fi-tastical, Fantastical and Macabre-licious films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced: Ma-Cob. The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning: disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury, WE ARE NOT SOLELY A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL but instead a whole lot more than that. We usually approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in the sense that, not all of the films screened are horror and instead many may simply be considered a bit on the darker side. Of course, we will add some horror to this festival but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as:
Vincent Price & Peter Cushing or those fantastic Gothic horrors like the "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to us. What we are saying is that the word "Macabre" DOES NOT mean we only accept HORROR films but instead that we welcome those films that can tap into our fears through what you don't see or hear. A dark drama, mystery, suspense, thriller or dark comedy can do a lovely job making us feel uncomfortable in the dark. So folks, this is what many of the films selected for the Macabre Faire Film Festival offer. A buffet for any pallet. About the only thing we may have to say "No Thanks" to would be a romantic comedy/drama... unless, there's a monster under the bed during love making or other dark element.
All submitted films are pre-screened by select judges that includes Eileen Dietz, our Festival Ambassador, of the original "The Exorcist" film to ensure the films have followed guidelines and are an overall fit for the festival. Then the films are passed on to another set of judges consisting of more filmmakers, film critics, genre film fans and or seasoned actors to choose the Official Selections. Once these selections have been identified there is an additional judging process in collaboration with the original pre-screening judges to identify the different category nominees. Once you have been notified we insist on having the film festival entry form filled out and submitted back to the festival via email or snail mail within 4 weeks of acceptance. This form can be found on our website or it has been emailed to you as an attachment with your initial welcoming email.
URGENT NOTE: IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FESTIVAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ACCEPTED FILM WITHIN 4 WEEKS FROM INITIAL ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION, WHICH ALL FILMMAKERS RECEIVE FROM FESTHOME BY DEADLINE DATE, YOUR FILM WILL NO LONGER BE AN OFFICIAL SELECTION IN THE MACABRE FAIRE FILM FESTIVAL. So we urge everyone to check their spam folders at all times and or ensure to make contact with the festival within 4 weeks of the acceptance notification. Failure to do so will exclude your film from the festival. Please take the time to ACTUALLY READ all the pages of the submission form which contains mailing address information (if needed) and other very important details which includes getting your discs or film posters sent to the festival in a timely fashion. This does not mean mailing materials in 2 weeks before the event as they will not be accepted.
Moving on...
January's festival always falls on Martin Luther King Jr weekend for easy remembering. This 4 day event start with Thursday and Friday being solely screening days with minimal panels within 3 screening rooms.

Saturday evening is capped with an elaborate Red Carpet Gala Award Ceremony that offers a glamorous atmosphere filled with Press, Photos, Entertainment, Dinner and Awards! This is NOT to be missed.
Sunday captures the conversations from the night prior winners and more. A perfect day to catch those shorts you may have missed as it usually hosts an encore segment for short films from 12pm until 6pm. Be sure to visit the vendor room before the day is over and sit in on another panel or other special treat before it all ends until the following year.

FARO 1540 - La Asociación para la Defensa y la Promoción del Patrimonio Ambiental y Cultural de Faro, tras el éxito de las últimas ediciones de FARCUME - Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Faro, organiza la 11ª edición de este Festival que se celebrará en la ciudad de Faro del 26 al 28 de septiembre de 2025.
Esta 15ª edición de FARCUME pretende exhibir y promover obras de la sección de cortometrajes de hasta 18 minutos de duración, divididas en tres categorías: Animación, Documental y Ficción.
En este festival, todos los ciudadanos nacionales y extranjeros pueden participar, individualmente o en grupos, simplemente cumpliendo con lo estipulado en el reglamento, llenando un formulario de inscripción y enviando sus obras a la organización antes del 11 de julio de 2025, sujeto a preselección.
El objetivo principal de este Festival sigue siendo el mismo: dar a conocer y dar a conocer nuevos talentos, así como promover de cerca del público los excelentes trabajos que se realizan en este ámbito, pero que no siempre cuentan con la promoción deseada y merecida.
En otras palabras, FARCUME, en un ambiente informal, de buen humor y distendido, pretende premiar y reconocer la dedicación, el compromiso, la creatividad y el mérito de los directores, actores y equipos técnicos que, con medios modestos, pueden desarrollar obras de gran calidad.
Dados los principios y objetivos de «FARO 1540», que incluso tiene el estatus de ONG (Organización Ambiental No Gubernamental), el Festival seguirá teniendo una gran preocupación y sensibilidad ambiental, alertando a los participantes para que no presenten cortometrajes que denuncien o fomenten la falta de respeto por el medio ambiente, la desigualdad de los derechos humanos o el abuso de los animales. Se desarrollará aún más un Plan de Gestión Ambiental específicamente «diseñado» para este evento a fin de garantizar la optimización de los recursos necesarios para la promoción y realización del evento y la gestión de los residuos generados.
It is a festival to promote an intercultural dialogue for a deeper understanding of others by presenting their creative works to the audience and to encourage filmmakers of documentary and short films.
The festival accepts Documentaries, Short Feature Films, and Animation Films, which are from the production of 2015, 2016.
CARAMBOLA es un programa itinerante de cortometrajes de animación constituido por peliculas europeas independientes para niños y niñas entre 3 a 12 años.

With twenty-two years of existence, (the first edition was in 1997) AVANCA Film Festival was awarded first place in 2011 contest of the support film festivals sponsored by ICA / Ministry of Culture.
An additional thematic programming has happened over all these years, giving space to screening of significant works of contemporary cinema appropriately framed in concerns and / or well-defined objectives.
The AVANCA is known as a space for workshops led by personalities of world cinema, and being more than a "master class", has allowed a unique cinema practice. Every year we have always 6 or 7 workshops, bringing together participants from all over Europe. The media have written that this is the largest European area of professional workshops in the field of cinema.
AVANCA is the only festival that congregates a Cinema International Competition, works from the television area, video and new supports of multimedia, with a special concern of exhibit the best world productions done in each category.
Since the first edition, the festival only accepts unprecedented films in Portugal.
The World Premiere competition is unique in our country and was only possible because Avanca became a passage point of unpublished authors and movies with great quality. Films that have their world premiere in the festival, independently of the submitted category, are also participating in the World Premiere Competition.
AVANCA is the Portuguese festival with the highest percentage of worldwide unpublished movies that find here their first showing.
In 2020 Edition, Avanca will bring for the first time the VR Competition, where films in virtual reality 360°, narrative or experimental (but with no interactivity) are allowed.
Since 2010, we have organized the international film conference AVANCA | CINEMA, becoming the most important conference in the field of cinema in the Iberian Peninsula. This conference brings together speakers and participants from around the world.
Thematic exhibitions, editions of books, bibliographic presentations and various projects have marked these last 10 years of AVANCA with the quality that compels the festival and the participants obviously require.
