La quindicesima edizione dello Student Film Festival FENACIES Uruguay ha aperto le iscrizioni il 1° aprile e rimarrà aperta fino al 10 giugno. Come ogni anno, tutti gli studenti di tutto il mondo (dalla elementare all'università) possono registrare i loro cortometraggi in modo totalmente gratuito, che verranno proiettati a Montevideo dall'8 al 14 settembre.
FENACIES è un'organizzazione fondata nel 2011 che è nata con l'obiettivo di creare un festival cinematografico specifico per i giovani, dove la concorrenza fosse leale e la creatività e lo sforzo di questi fossero valorizzati.
Inizialmente, il festival è stato dichiarato di interesse culturale dal Ministero dell'Istruzione e della Cultura, interesse educativo dal Consiglio dell'Istruzione Primaria e interesse turistico dal Ministero del Turismo e dello Sport. Inoltre, nel 2015 l'UNESCO lo ha dichiarato di interesse educativo e culturale.
L'obiettivo principale del festival è quello di rafforzare l'educazione audiovisiva tra i più giovani, e attraverso la realizzazione di cortometraggi possono esprimere le loro idee in modo che poi possano vederle riflesse sul grande schermo.
Durante la settimana, i cortometraggi selezionati verranno proiettati in un cinema pubblico e statale. Il 14 settembre verranno annunciati i vincitori durante la cerimonia di chiusura.

The Lahore International Children’s Film Festival is a project of The Little Art. It's an an annual event to showcase the best of local and international films made by, for or about children and young people. The Festival was started in 2008, and has completed its 9 seasons successfully and has reached to nearly 451,550 audiences.
Aiming at education as well as entertainment, the film festival is dedicated to promote the culture of film watching, media literacy and alternative learning among children and young people. Each year, the festival brings some of the best international films to Pakistan to promote, peace, creativity, social awareness, world cultures and the arts.
The Festival reaches to nearly 50,000 children and young people each year, from urban to rural areas. The festival defines “children and young people” as its primary beneficiaries, irrespective of their gender, social status, class, education or income level.
The festival has an inclusive approach to involve marginalized and less privileged children as its audience. We collaborate with NGOs and community organizations to show the world's best films to out-of-school and marginalized children across Pakistan.
2018 is the 10th season of the Festival and will take place in Lahore, Pakistan in October 2018.
Attention to all film talents: From 21 November 2017 until 31 January 2018, filmmakers will have the chance to apply for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition 2018. Not only are two main prizes waiting to be won, moreover, ten finalists will receive an invitation to participate in the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy in Vienna!
Between 21 November 2017 and 31 January 2018, filmmakers up to the age of 35 from Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region, Turkey and Austria will have the possibility to submit their short films to the Short Film Competition of the LET’S CEE Film Festival 2018.
However, filmmakers of all ages and from all over the world are welcome as well to send in thematically fitting contributions. Due to the festival’s geographical focus on CEE though, these short films will not be included in the main Short Film Competition, but will very well have the chance to win the Audience Award in the Short Film category and be screened at the festival in the section Short Films | Out of Competition. We furthermore cordially encourage international makers of virtual reality films, 3D productions and avant-garde pieces to apply as we will be offering these genres a stage at our festival as well.
The theme of the Short Film Competition 2018 is TOGETHER OR APART.
Great Britain voted for the Brexit last year and in doing so decided against a EU membership; most recently thousands of Catalan people went to the streets demanding independence from Spain; under the presidency of Donald Trump, the USA is seeking to withdraw from the Paris climate protection agreement and renegotiate various other commercial treaties – these are only three of many examples demonstrating the recent shift of the political mood in numerous countries. A growing migratory pressure, an increasing gap between the rich and poor, as well as justified and unsubstantiated fears – of the consequences of digitalisation, of the loss of jobs and stability and of social change – have discredited globalisation and encouraged a comeback of nationalist and isolationist tendencies, which seemed utterly unfathomable only a few years ago. Even on a national scale, societal cohesion appears to be threatened more and more. How does the growing division of society influence both the community and individuals? Will political agitation, hatred, egotism and greed for profit become the new normal? Well, the situation is critical, but not hopeless, neither on an international nor a national level. There are still representatives of the civil society who make no effort to surrender to the threatening eroding solidarity. Fortunately, there are numerous instances proving how people still advocate for the poor and disadvantaged with great optimism, dedication and empathy – people who rather pay attention to what we have in common instead of what keeps us apart.
The competition’s theme, TOGETHER OR APART, may be manifested in the submitted material in various manners and methods. Interpersonal aspects, such as family and relationship dramas, trials and tribulations, moments of success and happiness or the joint overcoming of challenges can be taken into account just as well as social, political, juridical and/or cultural matters. In other words: everything is possible, as long as it touches on the topic and is done well!
An advisory board chaired by the renowned Austrian-Iranian filmmakers Arash T. Riahi and Arman T. Riahi will choose the best contributions from the submissions for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition. The short films, which will be screened out of competition, will be selected by the Bosnian-Dutch producer Denis Mujović and festival director Magdalena Żelasko.
After the presentation of the participating productions at the festival, an international jury will decide on the winner of the competing short films and, thus, who will be awarded the main prize – 1,500 Euro and a Urania statuette – at the Awards Ceremony in the Urania Cinema on 20 April 2018. The remaining short films presented during the festival will have, without exception, the chance to win the 1,500 Euro Audience Award in the category Short Film.
All filmmakers who will take part in the main Short Film Competition will additionally profit from their participation. At the expense of the festival, one of the involved filmmakers of each short film will be invited as an official guest*) to Vienna in order to present their work. Those persons will, furthermore, have the opportunity to join the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy.
15 remaining free seats for the Talent Academy will be filled by Out-of-Competition filmmakers. The most important items on the one-week Academy agenda include the attendance of LET’S CEE Master Classes and LET’S CEE Industry Days, the collaborative finalisation of a short film about Vienna, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch a film idea to Raindance film festival director Elliot Grove (and win big!) at the Pitching Competition. Of course, all invited filmmakers will enjoy several Get-togethers, where they can get in touch with successful distributors, directors, producers, actors etc., exchange experiences and new ideas and thus strive to new projects and international collaborations. In order to enable as many filmmakers as possible to visit LET’S CEE and present their work to the festival audience, all participants of the section ‘Short Films | Out of Competition’ will receive free festival accreditations and discounts for the official hotel partner on request.
DoKer è stato creato 9 anni fa per portare al pubblico russo meravigliosi documentari indipendenti provenienti da tutto il mondo e fornire una piattaforma di discussione per autori, esperti e spettatori.
I principi di DoKer sono:
- Quando diciamo «film documentario» poniamo l'accento sul «film».
- Ci sono innumerevoli modi per realizzare un documentario, ma crediamo che debba essere drammatico e interessante.
- L'immagine e il suono sono importanti tanto per i documenti quanto per i film di finzione. Il linguaggio cinematografico è universale e lo usiamo per raccontare le nostre storie.
Nato nel 2009 per evidenziare e incoraggiare l'espressione artistica, il cinema e l'identità culturale della regione. Promuovere la permanenza delle culture e rafforzare le politiche culturali della città come meccanismo di partecipazione dei cittadini e della comunità; sostenendo così lo sviluppo, l'esposizione e la diffusione del cinema e delle arti visive nella città di Guadalajara de Buga e Valle del Cauca; proponendo il dialogo tra le varie espressioni dell'arte odierna e i loro meccanismi di partecipazione principalmente nella popolazione giovanile. Questo festival cerca di creare spazi di discussione, creazione artistica e audiovisiva in modo partecipativo.
Il festival è diventato il primo evento del suo genere in quest'area, destinato all'esposizione, alla formazione, allo sviluppo di capacità e alla collettività sul tema del cinema e delle arti visive a Guadalajara de Buga e nella Valle del Cauca.
Chulpicine ha iniziato a lavorare nel 2002 con il primo Itinerant Children & Youth Film Festival a Quito. La calorosa accoglienza ricevuta dal progetto ha permesso al festival di diventare un evento annuale nei mesi da luglio a settembre, offrendo un evento educativo e divertente a costo zero, in settori con poche attività culturali.
Grazie alla reazione positiva, Chulpicine è diventata una fondazione culturale ed educativa senza scopo di lucro nel giugno 2004. Dopo più di 10 anni di esperienza, Chulpicine ha raggiunto una proposta stabile e una metodologia di lavoro che si è diffusa a livello nazionale. Il Festival ha promosso la creazione di personale tecnico, manager culturali che lavorano in diverse comunità e un folto gruppo di follower.
Chulpicine ha progettato una serie di attività e workshop per istituzioni, organizzazioni comunitarie o operatori di sensibilizzazione per educare e formare in diverse aree legate al cinema, all'audiovisivo, alla comunicazione e a Internet utilizzate come strumenti di intervento sociale. Queste attività e workshop sono stati l'inizio di una formazione di comunità di apprendimento sfruttando le capacità dei giovani, nonché la creazione di una rete attiva e impegnata di facilitatori sociali attraverso il cinema e il lavoro audiovisivo.
La Fondazione svolge le seguenti linee di programma: formazione; intervento; appropriazione di spazi pubblici; diffusione e produzione. Questa linea di lavoro è un'alternativa per promuovere le reti comunitarie per sviluppare capacità di comunicazione, analisi e riflessione nei vari attori della comunità, rafforzando così le sue capacità organizzative e di sviluppo personale.
La fondazione ha un team multidisciplinare che attualmente lavora ai progetti. Queste persone sono responsabili di diverse aree: c'è uno psicologo, un produttore, un programmatore, un comunicatore e un contabile.
Inoltre, ogni anno vengono assunte circa 12 persone per assistere nell'implementazione delle attività. Questo gruppo è composto da persone che hanno lavorato in passato al festival e da alcuni nuovi giovani che desiderano entrare a far parte del gruppo. Inoltre, ogni anno abbiamo il supporto di volontari di diverse organizzazioni.

MADTerrorFest was created with the purpose of covering the vacuum that exists in Madrid regarding the genres of fantasy films and terror concerns.
There is lot of talent already discovered and above all to be discovered. So we have proposed to dig up all that potential and make it available for the lovers of this type of film, which we tell us of course.
We want to do a festival of short films that gradually give rise to the International Film Festival of horror and fantastic of Madrid, and become a reference within the national and international scene.
And of course we want you enjoy it as much as we do to prepare it.
Or better yet, that you may suffer uncompromising hitting boats like maniacs in your seat; We know that you love.
