El Festival Internacional de Cine de Gáldar (FIC Gáldar) es uno de los festivales de cine de referencia en las Islas Canarias, y ha concentrado en cada una de sus ediciones lo mejor del cine nacional e internacional.
Organizado por el Ayuntamiento de Gáldar a través de su Concejalía de Cultura desde 2013, este festival propone un evento en directo con importantes medidas sanitarias para garantizar la plena seguridad y confort del mismo.
El festival tendrá lugar en la ciudad de Gáldar, en la isla de Gran Canaria, en octubre de 2025, y su filosofía se centra en la película como único y gran centro gravitatorio, sin perder de vista a los creadores, que merecen un respeto parangonable por sus obras.
Así, este festival no distinguirá entre temas, formatos o géneros. Las presentaciones están abiertas a todo tipo de largometrajes y cortometrajes, siendo estas las dos únicas secciones oficiales. Buscamos mostrar lo mejor en drama, comedia, terror, acción, aventura, ciencia ficción/fantasía, thrillers/suspense, noir, tanto en ficción como en documental, tanto en imagen real como en animación. Las suscripciones están abiertas a películas de todo el mundo.
El FIC apuesta por el cine por el cine, por una verdadera visión que no responda a encadenamientos ni sociales, ni ideológicos, ni formales. Es, en esencia, un festival de cine sin fronteras.
Por último, el festival también rendirá homenaje a diferentes personalidades de la industria cinematográfica y organizará talleres y actividades paralelas.

IndieFlicks is the UK's monthly film festival, supporting the best up and coming filmmakers from around the world. IndieFlicks is continuously growing, hosting simultaneous screenings in Manchester, London and Sheffield. We also host a repeat screening the following week in Liverpool.
"They only pick the best films for their screenings so it's not only a great festival to enter, but a great film night to attend. I've enjoyed every film i've seen so far.”
Chris Cronin, Director.
How our monthly festival works…
Our Monthly Festival is a showcase of Short films from around the world, screening 50 minutes of short film in the first half, followed by our selected Feature Short in the second. We also host a Q&A with filmmakers able to attend and talks with local creatives.
At each event, two films will be selected to win either one of our awards:
The People’s Choice Award
The Directors Choice Award
Films included in the first half are nominated for our 'The People's Choice Award’; This is evidently voted for our audiences on the night and votes are calculated collectively from all of our venues.
In the second half of the night we host our 'Feature Short', one film no longer than 50 minutes. This is our headliner for the event. This film is awarded, ‘The Directors Choice Award’, one that our Judging panel felt deserves recognition.
"Not only is IndieFlicks a brilliant opportunity to network within the Manchester filmmaking community, it offers insight into short filmmaking approaches worldwide."
Martyn Ellis, Sound Engineer, Noise Four
Notifications:
Filmmakers will be notified throughout the year. If successful, your film will be screened on the first Wednesday of a selected month.

El Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes Psarokokalo es un festival anual que se celebra en Grecia desde 2007. El festival tiene como objetivo ofrecer un escaparate para el trabajo de nuevos cineastas de todo el mundo y promover la diversidad y la riqueza del cortometraje. El festival forma parte de un proyecto que tiene como objetivo investigar, promover y desarrollar el arte cinematográfico. El programa del festival incluye proyecciones de cortometrajes de Grecia y del extranjero, así como eventos audiovisuales, conferencias, clases magistrales, exposiciones y conciertos en vivo. La calidad de sus proyecciones, conferencias y exposiciones lo ha convertido en un punto de referencia para cinéfilos, cineastas, profesionales y nuevos artistas. Cada año, las actividades del festival se ampliaron, recibiendo más participación de diferentes países y recibiendo un mayor apoyo de cineastas y profesionales. El festival tiene como objetivo cruzar las fronteras para desarrollar un espíritu de amistad y cooperación con festivales internacionales y cineastas de todo el mundo. El Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Psarokokalo está dirigido por Kyklos, una organización sin fines de lucro con sede en Atenas cuyo objetivo es promover acciones relacionadas con el cine y la conciencia pública sobre los problemas ambientales. «Kyklos» en griego significa ciclo y la visión del ciclo es el respeto de los derechos fundamentales, incluida la libertad, la igualdad de oportunidades y la diversidad cultural.
Festival de cortos de Bucarest [BSFF]
Independent es la palabra clave para el Festival de Cortometrajes de Bucarest [BSFF], ya que está fundado por profesionales del cine independiente y se centra en artistas independientes del cine, de todo el mundo. El Festival de Cortometrajes de Bucarest tiene como objetivo reconocer, exhibir y difundir los cortometrajes internacionales más profesionales, innovadores e interesantes, sin dejar de priorizar los cortometrajes independientes.
El Festival de Cortometrajes de Bucarest exhibirá algunos de los mejores cortometrajes internacionales en narrativa, animación, estudiantil, experimental, documental, videoclip y derechos humanos. Nos tomamos muy en serio la cantidad de trabajo que se dedica a cada película. Por lo tanto, las reglas del festival garantizan que cada película sea revisada al menos dos veces y debatida por nuestro equipo. Algunas de las películas premiadas también se proyectarán en otros festivales internacionales de cine.
Los artistas independientes y sus cortometrajes se encontrarán con un público efervescente y bastante experimentado con el cine y los festivales de cine, garantizando una red de calidad y oportunidades atractivas, mientras que las películas seleccionadas serán determinadas por un panel de expertos de la industria.
El Festival de Cortometrajes de Bucarest está creando una fuerte comunidad de interés en torno a profesionales internacionales del cine independiente y amantes del cine, en el corazón de una de las capitales emergentes más interesantes del arte y la cultura, una ciudad que nunca duerme: Bucarest.
El festival organizará proyecciones de películas, precedidas o seguidas de preguntas y respuestas de artistas, o eventos paralelos de networking y, seguramente, fiestas, que tienen lugar en varios escenarios convencionales y no convencionales de Bucarest, como en cines, espacios abiertos e incluso teatros de verano. Bucarest, has oído hablar de ella, eventualmente, una ciudad para los jóvenes. Conocido por diferentes cosas, como el apodo de «Viejo París», en su época burguesa, antes de las décadas del comunismo, o el edificio parlamentario más grande del mundo [y uno de los edificios más grandes de cualquier tipo], desde su época del comunismo, su nueva arquitectura o la explosiva escena del arte contemporáneo, y la también impresionantes comunidades clandestinas de arte, música y vida nocturna, en sus tiempos actuales.
The Rwanda Film Festival, also known as Hillywood, has not only established itself as the country’s most important cultural event, but also as one of Africa’s most prestigious festivals. For seven days, film lovers, filmmakers, industry professionals and media will watch the best in new cinema from established masters and new local and international talents. The Hillywood tradition continues this year with the festival’s tenth edition.
Our principal objective is to promote and encourage awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of cinema in Rwanda.
Our mandate is to present the most outstanding films produced in every part of the world.
With the ongoing development of filmmaking in Rwanda, we believe the time is right for such a festival that serves as a key platform for the promotion of Rwandan-produced cinema and also enables our local professionals to interact with internationally established filmmakers.
Among the most important Italian art film festivals, TOHORROR FILM FEST starts from cinema and then explores all possible means of communication, with the purpose of analysing contemporary society through the deforming lenses provided by the fantastic and horror culture. Thus, through the young authors’ videos and the films made by more expert directors, the meetings, the theatrical performances, the concerts, the art and comics exhibitions, we are enabled to to interpret reality, filtering it through a most wild imagination.
El FESTIVAL EQUINOXIO abren su convocatoria a todos los ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS inscritos en programas de PREGRADO o POSGRADO del CAMPO AUDIOVISUAL en instituciones educativas formales de LATINOAMÉRICA.
Fiaticorti nació en 2000 a partir de la idea de algunos miembros del «Proyecto Juvenil» de Istrana.
El nombre del evento se eligió por dos razones: en primer lugar, la «falta de aliento» (fiato corto) es el efecto de un esfuerzo físico de corta duración (la misma duración que en los cortometrajes). Además, una película que puede durar hasta 20 minutos es capaz de transmitir emociones fuertes al espectador, dejándolo «sin aliento».
En un principio, Fiaticorti se condensaba en una sola velada, es decir, en una noche de premios. Sin embargo, a partir de la cuarta edición, el formato se ha ido mejorando y el festival se desarrolla en cuatro escenarios, durante los cuales se presentan las mejores obras.
En 2006 se creó la sección FiativeNeti, para premiar a los realizadores de cortometrajes de la región del Véneto.
El año 2011 supuso un punto de inflexión para Fiaticorti. El veterano director artístico Gianni Billio no solo cedió el testigo a Bartolo Ayroldi Sagarriga (el nuevo director artístico), Andrea Grespan y Simone Perotto, sino que la calidad de las películas en competición aumentó drásticamente, junto con el número de participantes extranjeros, principalmente de Francia, Gran Bretaña, Rumanía y España.
Pero la identidad del festival, vinculada a la cultura de los cineclubs italianos de los años setenta, siempre ha sido la misma. Su objetivo es transmitir la cultura y la pasión por los cortometrajes. Por eso, la dirección artística ha optado por no acompañar el festival con eventos de otro tipo.
Hi Filmmakers! Our 2016 festival is in the history books again!
A comment from a filmmaker:
The Florida Movie Festival is a truly a wonderful experience. From the first contact with the organizers the filmmakers will feel they are with friends. The advantage of this festival is that there is direct contact with an audience through engaging group workshops, social gatherings and Q&A sessions. The location, Daytona Beach, makes it a refreshing environment to balance life with the intensities that many filmmakers deal with on a day by day basis. Respective, appreciative, encouraging, open, balanced, and supportive - The Florida Movie Festival.
THANK YOU!
Doug
Want to come to "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida? Submit your movie and you have made the first step in enjoying time in Florida in early March. You will have the festival, workshops, networking, sun, more sun, fun, on the ocean and theme parks within an hours drive. Are you in the cold weather, come thaw out and enjoy a week here.
Our Florida Movie Fest featured "Long Pants(60+min), Loose Shorts(20-59), and Short Shorts(1-19)" with a "NEW" genre in "Outdoor/Adventure/Travel this year. It was a big success just like the Women Directed/Produced from the previous year. The Women Directed/P remains our largest and most competitive genre. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your new work this year.
This year we moved our screenings to the "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida. Our workshops included: Creative Financing , Cinematography (2-Emmy award winning DP's), Copyright protection of intellectual property, Directing and Casting. These workshops were held in a room overlooking the ocean. Most of these terrific workshop hosts have indicated they would return and we are already engaged in conversation about a full day workshop - hands on with an Emmy award DP. Sounds great!
So next year make plans early and come to Daytona Beach, for the festival, sun, car races, bike week, or spring break. Maybe all the above.
Filmmakers came from as far away as Toronto and Calgary, Canada along with California.
Please make plans for the coming year.
Winners this year came from Sri Lanka, Iran, Germany, Austria, India, Australia, Argentina, UK, Chile, Ecuador , Brazil, Uruguay, France, Russia, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan , Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and US.
"Movies with passion and freedom" continues as our theme this year. Wow did you hit this on the mark. It is a real quality event when we have so much talent around the world finding its way to our festival.
FMF does encourage you to submit multiple work or a second category with same movie. Contact FMF to receive a twenty-five % discount for second movie and a fifty % discount for a third movie. If you find yourself in a quandary on which category to enter. You can enter a second category for a 50% discount to increase your chances for success.
FMF will continue our three main categories: "Short Shorts (1-19min), Loose Shorts (20-59min), and Long Pants (60+min)". A great 8 min. film is hard to be judged against a 35 min. short so we expanded to create a "Mini-Feature" category and to fairly protect the truly short film. This worked very well for us.
FMF will not change it's core principles in expanding, but FMF wants to provide an expansion of topics at this venue for our filmmakers and viewers to take a journey of - learning, relating, laughing, and many other emotions while keeping a thread of moral fabric!
One of our newer and very rewarding genre is Women. After attending a workshop on film for women, FMF heard their message. One of those messages: only 12% of women filmmakers are on the big screen. We want to help change that one independent film at a time. You are off to a great start, keep up the fabulous work.
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus". FMF wants to offer a genre that the story, script, director, producer or lead role is a Woman. FMF is looking beyond the industry term "chick flick" to films that are thought-provoking and personal growth about "Venus" or a view from "Venus". Present the world as a woman experience’s it – enlighten, empower, entertain, educate, inspire, curiosity and stimulate conversation.
