The Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival is launching its 9th annual celebration of bringing strong, independent documentary films and filmmakers to West Sonoma County. Screening 71 films in 4 days during the 2015 festival, with over 90 filmmakers and guests in attendance, we had another incredible weekend of films and intense documentary discussion. 2016 is already shaping up to be another great festival. Our next festival will be held March 17-20, 2016. Twice named "One of the Coolest Film Festivals" by MovieMaker Magazine and chosen by the readers of the North Bay Bohemian as the Best Film Festival in Sonoma County for the third year in a row, we look forward to continuing to bring the best films, and their filmmakers, in the world to Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. Please join us!
Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken, Bankok, Quito (Ecuador), Tucuman (Argentina) and now Urbino, as also with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents some Hundrets films over the year coming from around 60 countries.
The Festival is searching 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 23 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.

Feedback: The one element most festivals ignore.
Instead of paying submission fees and getting nothing in return, EVERYONE who submits to DOFIFF.COM will receive EITHER ONE OF TWO benefits: Either 1): your film is already competition calibre, and becomes an Official Selection, OR 2): you’ll receive a letter outlining exactly what is keeping it from being accepted. If you can make corrections, you resubmit for FREE.
First-time filmmakers: when have you ever received a letter and had the festival explain "WHY" you weren't selected? See why filmmakers thank us and say “Best Festival Ever!”
-Guaranteed distributor review by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation (WWMPC.COM), Adler & Associates, and Polaris Pictures (for Screenplays) among others, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU, for our select few ‘Best Of’ and "Award of Excellence" winners based on sufficient qualified entries. For this free service, DOFIFF requires NO CONTRACTS to be signed.
-The chance to thereby be included in one of that distributor’s buyers’ packets on the world film market
-A festival that is run as a web-based competition, instead of a traditional film festival: 100% of our effort and investment goes into finding a market for you, not into renting theatres unless it is dictated by the distributors to further test the market.
-All "Best Of Show" and "Award Of Outstanding Excellence" may have their trailers shown on WRPN.TV entertainment news next to Hollywood celebrity interviews (optional)
-Any film that is rejected will receive a personal letter explaining what elements caused the rejection (unlike other fests who never give any explanation at all). HINT: majority of rejections or low award levels, are due to insufficient volume on dialogue soundtracks.
-Any film that is accepted, but fails to move on to award status, will be given a free synopsis of the judges notes, at the filmmakers request, for free
-FREE Earlybird entry of any rejected film, into DOFIFF’s next competition, upon completion of the suggested corrections outlined in your rejection letter

“Dust Collector” category for pre-2009 films
“Tight Shorts” and “Loose Shorts” distinction between running times of less than 15 minutes and those between 15-59 minutes
“Horror” and “Sci-Fi” have been separated into two distinct categories
-Finally, you can rest assured that our co-founder is a proud Committee Member for the Universal Film & Festival Organization (UFFO.ORG). The UFFO is a non-profit operating out of the U.K., which exists for "Promoting best business practices for film festivals.” This guarantees that your film will benefit from a fair and thorough judging process.

Depuis 2013, l’association « Les Alibis » organise le Film Noir Festival, un festival de films ayant pour thème le Film Noir. Il s’agit du premier et du seul festival en France ayant pour thème ce genre cinématographique.
Lors des premières éditions, le Film Noir Festival s’était donné comme objectif d’éclairer le public sur le courant cinématographique qu’est le Film Noir.
Durant 4 jours, ce sont plus de 30 films de jeunes réalisateurs, au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages soumise au regard du jury des professionnels, mais aussi de cinéastes plus confirmés par le biais de la rétrospective généraliste de longs métrages et des avant-premières nationales, qui ont été présentés à un large public éclectique et de tout âge.
En octobre 2013, le Film Noir Festival s’est associé à la Film Noir Foundation de San Francisco créée et présidée par Eddie Muller, spécialiste mondial du Film Noir et fondateur du festival Noir City à San Francisco, à qui elle a décerné son premier Prix d'honneur en décembre 2013.
Pour sa quatrième édition, qui se tiendra du 24 au 27 novembre 2016 au cinéma "Le Vincennes" (94), le Film Noir Festival poursuivra son éclairage sur le Film Noir en proposant de nouveau une programmation de films inédits ou rares au travers de la rétrospective de 10 longs métrages, des avant-premières en ouverture et en clôture du Festival, des hommages à des réalisateurs, des acteurs ou des compositeurs emblématiques du Film Noir mais également au travers de la compétition internationale de courts métrages.
The Sandfly Film Festival showcases and promotes Australian and international short films and music videos. From award winning works to cutting-edge new comers, from tear-jerkers to rip-snorters, thrillers, classics and indies, Sandfly presents films with bite!
Last year we expanded our reach to include venues not only throughout regional and metro NSW but also major international venues – New York, Bogota, Berlin and Los Angeles all took part in what was an amazing festival and we are hugely thankful to all that made it possible.
We were very proud to see two of our films be nominated at the American Academy Awards in 2013: Aquel No Era Yo and Mr Hublot were both nominated with Mr Hublot going on to win the Oscar for best animated short.
Stay tuned for details of the festival coming up in November 2014.

Das MACAU INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL („FESTIVAL“) ist ein jährliches weltweites audiovisuelles Festival, das Kurzfilm- und Musikvideoproduktionen aus dem Ausland und Macau dazu motivieren soll, an diesem FESTIVAL teilzunehmen.
Das Festival umfasst zwei separate Wettbewerbe:
- SHORTS Internationaler Kurzfilm-Wettbewerb
- VOLUME Internationaler Musikvideowettbewerb
„SHORTS“ zeichnet die besten Kurzfilme in den drei Kategorien Fiktion, Dokumentarfilm und Animation aus. Und „VOLUME“ zeichnet das beste preisgekrönte Musikvideo mit Originalmusik aus Macau aus. Eine Liste der Originalsongs aus Macau steht auf der WEBSITE des Festivals zum Download zur Verfügung, die speziell für VOLUME bestimmt ist.
SHORTS kann vom 16. März bis 31. Mai 2025 eingereicht werden, und VOLUME kann vom 16. März bis 20. Juli 2025 eingereicht werden.
Das Festival war früher als „Sound & Image Challenge“ bekannt und wurde erstmals 2010 ins Leben gerufen und konzentrierte sich ausschließlich auf einen audiovisuellen Wettbewerb für lokale Talente. Diese Initiative wurde gemeinsam mit Fachleuten aus den Bereichen Film, Musik, Ton und Bild gegründet und verfolgt zwei Prioritäten: Förderung der Kreativwirtschaft im audiovisuellen Sektor und Förderung lokaler Talente bei der Produktion von Ton- und Bewegtbilddesign. Im Laufe der Jahre expandierte es auf 5 Kontinente, wuchs und erlangte Anerkennung und wurde schließlich 2015 zu einem Kurzfilmfestival.
Das Festival findet vom 2. bis 10. Dezember 2025 statt. Während der Festivalwoche wird an verschiedenen Orten in Macau eine Reihe von kulturellen Programmen angeboten, darunter öffentliche Vorführungen der offiziellen Auswahl von „SHORTS“ und der offiziellen Auswahl der Musikvideos von „VOLUME“, Meisterkurse für Filmproduktion, -entwicklung, Kuratorschaft und Organisation des Internationalen Filmfestivals, Publikumsabstimmungen für „Audience Choice“ sowie eine Gala-Preisverleihung.

Presentism is a philosophy of time that states nothing in the past or future exists. The only reality is the present moment, which is redefined. A moment is no longer like the blade of a knife, gone the instant it is felt. Rather, it is an extended duration of conscious experience. Reality is also redefined. The world is no longer characterized as a set of historic and anticipated facts, as in “once and for all.” The presentist defines reality as a world that relies on constant survey. And when events happen in multiple places simultaneously, they are part of the same reality.
We seek short films and video works (no more than 10 minutes) from filmmakers and artists that explore these ideas. How do we experience the present? What events today constitute a sense of the present? What activities constitute a constant survey of facts and ideas? How is the concept of presentism expanded globally in the era of live data? How does the moving image define a duration of extended consciousness? In what ways might the human condition change if removed from the past and the future? All genres will be accepted including documentary, narrative, animation and experimental.
FOLLOWING REVIEW AND SELECTION, FILMMAKERS WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL IF THEIR FILM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.
ACCEPTED FILMS ARE DUE AT THE GALLERY NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1ST.
Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.
