The Lookout Wild Film Festival is an outdoor adventure and conservation festival in Chattanooga, Tenn., that aims to celebrate what we call "wild" films. We are looking for projects that celebrate the wild places around the Southeast, North America and the world.
Topics of such films may include — but are not limited to — exploration, conservation, nature, wildlife, survival and outdoor activities such as adventure sports. Some sports/activities we hope to encompass are: rock climbing, cycling, paddling, hiking, hang gliding, skiing, running, mountain biking, fishing, birding, snowshoeing, caving, boarding (snow, wake, skate and others), horseback riding, surfing, multisport, slack lining, base jumping and whatever else people are doing outside.
We are looking for narrative and documentary films, feature-length, shorts and everything in between.
But beyond any specific activity or theme, the LWFF board is looking for films that share our love of the outdoors and storytelling. We want films that take us places we can't go — or haven't gone yet. We want films that help us see things with a new perspective.
Films will be shown over three days at the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo.
Chattanooga is a youthful, growing outdoor mecca drawing in top experts and athletes from around the United States. The city are also garnering attention from media outlets and tourism groups, headlined by Outside Magazine calling the Scenic City its "Best City Ever" in 2011 and the New York Times declaring that Chattanooga has the fastest Internet speeds in the country in 2010.
We believe that the Lookout Wild Film Festival will be key part of Chattanooga's continued growth as a destination for both outdoor enthusiasts and young, techie creatives. We hope to see you here!
6th CinemAvvenire Film Festival carries on and strengthens the International/European dimension of the Associazione Centro Internazionale CinemAvvenire, a project managed with enthusiasm and determination since 1992 through the starting idea by Gillo Pontecorvo.
Lumière 2015 signs a crucial step forward; the previous edition hosted 100 feature films and 200 shorts from 60 different Countries.
Each tool of the festival is at disposal for the discover and the exploration of new styles and talents, assisting and supporting the independent productions setting a European platform for their expectations. A look at the past won’t be ignored –bringing to light some unpopular zone of Cinema History – as it belongs to the logic of discovery too.
We have concluded many deals with several partners around Europe. This partnerships are planned to decentralize the event with the aim to promote young talents inside a European web allowing audiovisual works to get a broader circulation around EU.
This European direction led us choosing the platypus as logo for our festival. It unites different parts from different animals and this feature makes it unique. It has a duckbill, the tail as rodents, the paws as reptiles and it lays eggs notwithstanding it is a mammal animal. Its skills let it free form categorization and guardian of a precious metaphor: united in diversity.

In March 2004 the 1st international short film festival for films by artists was held in Gstaad, Switzerland, with the ultimate prize being 'The Golden Cow of Gstaad'. For the organisers of Gstaad Film, the event was a great success: Many artists made use of the possibility to present their works at the festival & the quality of the program was high, attracting many films from Switzerland and entries from as far away as Argentina. The three days of the festival gave many possibilities for interesting contacts, not only for we the organisers, but also for a numerous and interested audience who were left excited, enthralled and enriched by the experience.
The positive reaction generated over the three-day period encouraged us to start organising a second festival. To improve the organisation and to give the participants/entrants more time, we decided to organise the festival in a two-year cycle, as a biennale.
Films by artists, filmmakers, independent filmmakers and documentarians and / or community organizations, groups, local television and / or community college students and social production of Ecuador, Latin America and the world will be accepted.
The interest is to get audiovisual productions to places that are excluded from the film-culture in order to create spaces for reflection upon the awareness of community sectors, educational institutions, universities, neighborhoods and cities, and recover public spaces for the audiovisual in Ecuador.

We hope everyone has fun and enjoys themselves at the festival but a few suggestions...
Please submit as soon as possible. The process goes a lot smoother if we are not sent a lot of films at the last minute. THANKS!
This is a short film festival for films 20 minutes or less in length.
This year, we are strongly encouraging entrants to submit a link to private YouTube or Vimeo screener not a hard-copy of the film. If you must submit a hardcopy please use a paper DVD sleeve. When packaging, protect the DVD in a padded envelope, or similar package. Please DO NOT send your dvd in a slim, jewel, or standard DVD case, they almost always break in shipping.
Please note that the ONLY difference in the early submission deadline versus the final submission deadline is the fee discount. The submission process and consideration by the Programming Committee is not affected by the date you submit your film as long as it is postmarked by our final deadline - your chances are equal regardless of the day your film makes it into our offices, as long as it is postmarked by the final deadline!
ALL films submitted to the festival are seen and scored by two or more different programmers. All films that have a higher average, or are a favorite of a programmer, go on to final deliberations. GeNerk selects its films by majority vote and nothing is offered early acceptance.
Film Submissions are non-returnable for any reason.
If a film is accepted, entrants will be solely responsible for delivering their exhibition video materials to and from the festival venue. Complete press kits will be needed as soon after notification as possible. GeNerk cannot be held liable for your exhibition print/video materials which are lost or damaged.
Please note festival dates are subject to change.

The APICA, an association for the promotion of images, creation, and the arts, based in French Polynesia organizes from March 6h to 12th, 2017 the third edition of the International Festival of Short Fiction Films from the Islands of the World: Courts des îles, in Papeete, Tahiti (French Polynesia).
The perspective of island directors at the heart of the “Courts des îles” Festival
The APICA wishes to highlight island sensitivities from all over the world through their audiovisual and cinematic creations, by gathering them around a unique event: The International Festival of Short Fiction Films from the Islands of the World, Courts des îles.
From Java to Madagascar, from Iceland to New Zealand, from the Bahamas to Guadeloupe, from Hawaii to Tasmania… Courts des îles hopes to be an open window on island cultures, singular of pluralistic, a link between these young creators, directors from the islands of the world who tell us their stories.
Celebrating the islands of the world through a specific form of expression: short fiction films
A veritable journey around the world of island creativity: from Europe to Asia, from America to Oceania, and through Africa, Courts des îles is also a place of exchange and sharing for festival attendees, who will be able to contrast their experiences, their points of mutual interest, and their differences during workshops, round tables, and conferences organized around the themes of screenwriting, directing, and producing short fiction films.
Beyond the screening of short fiction films from the islands of the world, the Courts des îles Festival will give pride of place to a different island every year through the best short films that are produced there.

Leitbild
TIFA, die Toronto Independent Film Awards Inc. (früher bekannt als Toronto International Film and Video Awards Inc. TIFVA) widmet sich der Verleihung und Präsentation der besten Independent-Filme aus der ganzen Welt.
TIFA wurde von unabhängigen Filmemachern gegründet, die den Prozess der Einreichung bei Festivals und die Herausforderungen verstehen, denen sie begegnen, wenn sie versuchen, von Fachleuten in der Branche Anerkennung für ihre Arbeit zu erlangen. Deshalb bietet TIFA so viel — wir wollen Filmemacher und Autoren auf jede erdenkliche Weise unterstützen!
Die Kernüberzeugungen der TIFA sind die folgenden: Barrierefreiheit, Gleichheit und Diversität.
Bei TIFA glauben wir, dass jedem die gleichen Möglichkeiten gegeben werden sollte, seine Talente im Film auszudrücken. Aus diesem Grund zeigt und vergibt TIFA Filme und Drehbücher aus allen Ländern aller Genres sowie eine Reihe unabhängiger Budgets.
Um die Wettbewerbsbedingungen auszugleichen, akzeptieren wir Spielfilme in vier Unterkategorien, die auf dem Budget des Projekts basieren, sodass Filme nicht mit anderen konkurrieren, die mit höheren Budgets gemacht wurden. Wir heben auch Kategorien hervor, die oft übersehen werden, wie Experimentalfilme, Webserien, Animationen, Musikvideos und Kinderfilme.
Die TIFA ist ein starker Befürworter der Vielfalt im Filmemachen. Jeder hat eine Geschichte zu erzählen und die Förderung der Vielfalt in der Branche kann sie nur verbessern. In diesem Jahr hat die TIFA Einreichungen aus über 40 Ländern erhalten, da wir unsere Reichweite Jahr für Jahr weiter ausbauen.
Für Ihre Chance, als die Besten der Besten in Independent-Filmen - aus jedem Genre und aus jedem Land der Welt - anerkannt zu werden, unterwerfen Sie sich bei TIFVA.
After a mini-hiatus, Short Com will be making it's return in 2019 in Edinburgh at the Cameo Cinema.
Short Com is a short comedy film festival that has grown from strength to strength from humble beginnings back in 2011, where it started in Manchester.
Short Com prides itself on the quality of its programme and the range of comedy stylings it has screened. The most emphatic thing we look for in a film is its content, its ability to make an audience laugh or smile. Short Com has screened films from BAFTA nominated films and multiple award winners to simple home made films that have warmed and vastly amused audiences.
Short Com has screened during the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, in London and for the first time in Bristol and finished its run and closed with its award ceremony at the Glasgow Short Film Festival. One of the largest short film festivals in the UK.
Why submit to Short Com? Short Com prides itself on the quality of its programme. There is a great deal of honour to selected filmmakers who make it to the annual best of screenings. Plus it will be taking place during the world's largest arts and culture festival. In the past we have been sponsored by Blackmagic Design, Final Draft and Festival Formula all donating fantastic prizes for winning films in our category awards section. We will be looking to work with new brands to continue this tradition and bring some excellent prizes.
To get an idea of what we have screened in the past, you cans see some of the previous years winners in the links below.

*Feature Films
We have the opportunity to extend our programming to feature films. This depends on the quality of the film and appeal it can bring. Features must be a Scottish film premier.

The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival has become the largest cinema event in Montana and the premiere venue for non-fiction film in the American West. In 2012, the festival drew an audience of 20,000 and received nearly 1000 film entries from every corner of the globe. The BSDFF offers a unique setting for filmmakers to premiere new work and for audiences to see innovative new films, as well as classics in the genre. The festival hosts over seventy-five visiting artists, and presents an average of 125 non-fiction films annually at the historic Wilma Theater, The Top Hat, and Crystal Theater in downtown Missoula. In 2013, BSDFF became a Academy Award qualifying festival in the SHORTS and MINI DOC categories.
The SubFilmFest aims to attract an Albanian, Mediterranean and Global audience from film, anthropology, marine culture and biology students as well as all parties with an interest in the Coastal Zone. Apart from an educational purpose the Festival aims at creating a pool of people that will eventually produce culture, research and creative products related to the Coastal Zone.
The festival will be primarily "anchored" in the Velipoja beach, in northern Albania from the 25th of July to the 29th of July. Velipoja is well known for its diverse landscape as well as the smell of iodine from it's curative sand, which makes it a unique beach in the Albanian Coast. Velipoje is also considered the place where the Albanian Coast begins. Because of the inmmense attention the southern beaches have acquired in the last decade, Velipoje could become its cultural counterpart in the northern area. The beach will be subjected to minimal changes for the accommodation of the festival with eco-friendly structures and interventions. Parallel to the screenings the film festival will include discussions and workshops as well as cultural, leisure and gastronomic events and purchasable services that will enrich the Coastal Zone experience.
This year the festival will not be a competitive festival just a showcase of works that deal with coastal and marine issues.
