LA SEXUALITÉ COMME MUSE PRINCIPALE DES ŒUVRES D'ART
Le Festival est un événement haut en couleurs et en émotions qui éveille les sens.
La Boca Erotica vise d'abord à présenter un film de qualité, montrant de manière décontractée, engagée, drôle, audacieuse et courageuse, les relations présentes : sensualité, érotisme, amour, séduction, désir, passion, luxure, jalousie, conflit et tout ce qui a trait à l'approche et à la communication entre les sexes.
Nous souhaitons proposer une vision transversale de l'érotisme. Dans le même temps, nous nous interrogeons sur la signification du mot dans une société diversifiée.
Une exploration de la sexualité d'un point de vue social et sans barrières de genre.
Le festival discute de la politique, de l'éducation et de la société, en prenant comme point de départ la sexualité.
ORGANISATEURS
L'association culturelle Time & Memory organise la quatorzième édition du festival du court métrage « SHORT TO SOUTH », qui se tiendra à Polla (SA) ITALIE du 20 au 21 juin 2026 à l'Auditorium « Holy Nicolicchio ».
Le festival du court métrage de Prokuplje, fondé en 2011, est le plus jeune festival de films de Serbie. À Prokplje, le public peut découvrir le meilleur du documentaire, de l'expérimental, de l'animation et de la fiction du monde entier. Des milliers de films du monde entier arrivent à l'adresse du festival, comme en témoignent les nombreux spectateurs de Prokuplje, mais aussi d'autres villes de Serbie et de la région, car l'équipe organise une tournée au cours de laquelle les meilleurs films sont présentés dans plus de 30 villes. L'absence de cinéma, ainsi que l'absence de cinéma comme matière à l'école, empêchent les jeunes de s'initier à cet art.
Pour avoir accès à ce contenu, les jeunes doivent se rendre à Nis, voire à Belgrade. C'est l'occasion de découvrir à Prokuplje les derniers courts métrages du monde entier. Ces dernières années, selon des recherches, il y a eu une baisse de la fréquentation des festivals dans le monde entier. C'est pourquoi et parce que le film a été présenté aux jeunes, nous avons apporté l'œuvre avec eux, dans toutes les écoles primaires et secondaires, qui constituent un public potentiel et seront animées par la présentation de films du festival et par une discussion sur l'importance du festival. En plus de travailler avec les jeunes de Prokuplje, le ciné-club de Prokuplje est le premier à commencer à animer le public des zones rurales, qui sont totalement exclues de tous les événements, en particulier des événements culturels.
The Canada International Film Festival has firmly established itself among the top film festivals in Canada. Held each year in the beautiful and cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, British Columbia, the festival brings the very best of world cinema to Canada from over 90 countries around the world.

Le FREAK SHOW Horror Film Festival est le plus grand et le plus long festival de films d'horreur de l'État de Floride. Situé dans un véritable cinéma, pas dans une salle de congrès !
FREAKO the Clown vous souhaite la bienvenue pour être flippant avec nous ! Nous sommes la maison du très convoité « FREAKY AWARD ».
Célébrez et soutenez l'art de l'horreur indépendante ! Ce festival international de films d'horreur est né de Robert J. Massetti, propriétaire des studios FEAR FILM.

Faire du FREAK SHOW Horror Film Festival l'un des meilleurs festivals au monde !
Ischia Film Festival is the heart of the project “Cinema & Territory’’ created by Michelangelo Messina for the no-profit organization Association Art Movie & Music, whose purpose is to spread among a vast audience unedited audio-visual works that highlight the cultural identity of a place through the movie screening and locations.
Every year the festival presents a selection of films from all over the world: all of them emphasize the cultural identity or the landscape's features of a certain territory through the audiovisual narration. A jury of personages of the film industry awards the best films among the ones selected for the official competition.
During the Festival week, in addition to the competition's film screenings, there is a special section about "denied location" and there also are omages to important figures of the international film industry. The Festival is an important part of a wider project called "Cinema and territory" that aims at protecting cultural and landscape peculiarities of territories in order to promote them through the audiovisual medium.
KloosterKino is the place to be for animated shorts in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Three times a year we show the best animated shorts from all over the world in a friendly setting. The screenings take place in a historic cloister, which dates back to 1909, and are not subject to admission.
KloosterKino shows work by young filmmakers, but also pays attention to classic animated film. Throughout the year we also work with other festivals and cultural organizations to arrange screenings of animated shorts.
But why animated shorts? Well, first of all, because we love them! But also because too few animated shorts are shown theatrically in the Netherlands. KloosterKino wants to show animation in all its diversity: from stop-motion to CGI, from narrative to abstract, homegrown and from far away. In doing so, we hope to aid in the diffusion of the artistic animated short.
We intend to be an alternative to the larger animation festivals by offering screenings which are both accessible and challenging. We stand for high quality animated film in welcoming surroundings. Our target audience is not just the animation aficionado, but also those who normally don’t watch animation, but are open to a surprising and stimulating program of films.
KloosterKino is a nonprofit foundation, that depends on volunteers and gifts.
La Hollywood Academy soutient le Festival international du film de Huesca en le reconnaissant comme finaliste pour les Oscars dans la catégorie du meilleur court métrage de fiction. L'Académie espagnole des arts et des sciences du cinéma le reconnaît également pour les Goya Awards.
