There are too many festivals and it is impossible to recognize which could be valuable for you. Many are very costly and give no chance to get selected without having previous contacts. We created Rome Independent Prisma Awards, a monthly award ceremony with live and online screenings that doesn't ask you for a foolish fee, where your film can participate with other independent movies and with world-class talents in an equal competition, within reach of everyone all around the world. Nobody else offers so much for such a small fee.
WE LOOK FOR MEANING, WE LOOK FOR UNITY, WE LOOK FOR BALANCE
Rome Independent Prisma Awards was founded by Stefano Perletta in 2018. Hosted by Cinema Azzurro Scipioni, in its first year it saw Silvano Agosti as the president of the jury, a legendary italian director that has worked alongside the greatest italian professionals like Storaro, Morricone, Piovani and many others. Over the course of its second year it moved to Cinema dei Piccoli, one of the oldest movie theaters of Rome in the heart of Villa Borghese park since 1934.
Our winning films have gone all the way to A-tier festivals like “May Day”, 1st annual awards winner and Oscar-shortlisted film, “Alien“ by Yeon Je-Wang and “Inanimate” by Lucia Bulgheroni that got into Cannes Cinefondation, “Pierdete entre los muertos” by Ruben Gutierrez that was showcased into the feature films at Rotterdam Film Festival and many others.
We just launched our fourth yearly cycle, with a total renewal and the artistic direction curated by Marcello Di Trocchio.

With the name Illusive Eye the optical process by which animation occurs in our brain by generating movement from the illusion produced by the rapid exposure to images in sequence is evoked. Animation offers the construction of credible universes, capable of freeing us from the limits of immediate reality.
With the coming of current communication technologies, animation has gained even more ground than it had in Film, Didactics and Videogames. Now, with the internet and the power of cell phones, mobile applications and the interconnection of devices and institutions with the network, animation has become an essential part of the language of interaction between the user and the world.
This audiovisual language has extended its discursive horizons as far as the human imagination reaches, and technically its evolution has allowed it to overcome reality by opening a fantastic vortex that provides immersive experiences and high doses of empathy as well as tons of fans of all ages and throughout the world, developing any theme with great aesthetic contributions and various levels of depth.
In honor of this abyss of creativity and as an invitation to immerse ourselves in it, this meeting space has been created for creators, scholars and amateurs. Looking to show not only its strength in the current film narrative but the presence of other types of speeches built on this means of visual expression: GIFs, memes, stickers, emoticons, headers, symbols for social networks, interface elements, banners, promotions , and any type of element generated from the illusion of an eye.
Toronto Shorts International Film Festival is the largest short film festival in Canada. Toronto Shorts provides a showcase for the best short-form cinema and its creators in the world, held annually in the heart of Toronto.
We feel that short-form cinema and its creators should have their own premier film festival in Toronto deserving similar recognition given to the feature film and its creators.
Toronto Shorts is where films from all genres intersect. The heart of the festival is the quality and scope of extraordinary film programming which consists of a wide spectrum of categories from high to low budget films under 45 minutes.
Over the past eight years, the festival has become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting filmmakers who have gone on to be Academy Awards Nominees, including 2018 Oscar Nominees "Watu Wote - All of Us" (Germany) and "The Eleven O'Clock" (Australia).
The 2019 Oscar nominee ‘Weekends’ directed by Trevor Jimenez was awarded Best Animation at the 2018 Toronto Shorts International Film Festival.
Past participants also include films from Alan Ritchson, Olympia Dukakis. Billy Bob Thornton, John Stamos, Salma Hayek, Tyrese Gibson, and Tom DeLonge.
Toronto stands as the largest media market in Canada, it boasts the world-renowned Royal Ontario Museum, the massive Art Gallery of Ontario, the Soulpepper Theatre Company, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and now a premier international short film festival.
In order to showcase the best short films and its filmmakers from around the world, we created the Toronto Shorts International Film Festival.
Cine Pobre is a self-funded filmmaking genre without a set of stylistic criteria nor format boundaries, involving many geographically separated creators with at least two things in common: a strong desire to tell their story and to do so with their own resources.
Cine Pobre builds bridges based on the belief that film becomes art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper. Since 2002 the 100% cartel-free intersection of culture and capabilities curating the world's best self-funded films.
IFFAN to symbolize this festival we represented the "Coconut tree" as our logo.
Because one who reaches this Island through the sea, this tree becomes as 'saving the lives' to all humans. So the people define it as a "Tree of Life". Any artist who is wavering through this sea. The International Film Festival of Andaman and Nicobar will be as a " Tree of Life" for him.
I PINCH AND SHORT! is a short film festival to be held throughout the year.
PERIODIC SESSION
During the indicated periods, a program will be designed with between 5 and 10 selected short films, depending on their duration, which will rotate through hotel establishments that are part of the project in different areas and neighborhoods of the city of Logroño, showing the same selection, in each location and different zone.
PROJECTION OPTIONS
The programming will rotate through the different catering establishments, being projected on the terraces or spaces set up for it.
• Each weekend a series of films will be screened in each bar and in various screenings.
• Each week the selection of jobs will change.
Making these decisions will depend on:
• Volume of works obtained through collaboration or presented for screening.
• Sponsorship and decision of the interested establishments.
• External sponsorship.
THEMATIC
The theme will be free conditional for all audiences, but those that include an allusion to Riojan gastronomy in their scripts and belonging to the genre of comedy will have more value for their selection.
Short films with a sexist, xenophobic or offensive theme will not be allowed.
There is the possibility of creating thematic sections in the screenings, according to the volume of films, and seeking added value for social or ecological aspects, so that subtitled works may have more value when selected for screening.
