IndieFEST, currently in its 7th year, discovers and honors the achievements of filmmakers who produce high quality films and new media. Attracting both powerhouse industry veterans as well as talented new filmmakers, the IndieFEST is an exceptional, truly international awards competition, not a traditional film festival.

Serving filmmakers is IndieFEST’s primary goal:
IndieFEST strives to give talented directors, producers, actors, creative teams and new media creators the positive exposure and credibility they deserve. The IndieFEST promotes award winners through press releases to over 40,000 filmmakers and industry contacts as well as five additional global media/distribution outlets. We are currently developing a filmmaker representative program to assist with the distribution of award winning films and a joint venture with The GRID, a worldwide network for mobile devices – both coming in 2015.
Where our filmmakers are from:
The IndieFEST Film Awards is truly international in scope and has received projects from filmmakers in over 64 countries, they include Australia, Bahrain, Bali, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Malaysia, Malta, Martinique, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, the USA and more.

The Villamayor de Cine European Short Film Festival was born in 2008 in the charming village of Villamayor de Santiago, located in the province of Cuenca. Its main mission from the beginning has been to create a space where short films take center stage and young directors have a chance to shine.
Every August, the festival comes to life through the dedication of a team of over forty young professionals. Under the guidance of its founder, Javier Alonso, they work tirelessly to bring the best of European short cinema to Villamayor de Santiago.
Renowned Spanish actor Jesús Guzmán served as the festival’s Honorary President until his passing in 2023. In his memory, the award for Best Fiction Short Film now bears his name, keeping his legacy alive in the film world.
The festival is hosted by acclaimed actor and presenter Luis Mottola, whose professionalism and charisma add great value to the event. Mottola holds a special affection for Villamayor, and the town, in turn, holds him in high regard. @luismottola
“Cinestrange” is dedicated to the international film. Alongside entertainment, which is clearly in the focus, special attention is devoted to the genre cinema. . “Cinestrange” has taken on the task each year to uncover another facet in the rich range of genre cinema. Besides big premieres, new discoveries and fancy misfits who seek to provide the right mix of ambition and entertainment, it is one of the essential functions of “Cinestrange” to promote the rediscovery of forgotten genres, to put them in the context of a reassessment with public appeal and make them available to everyone.
The festival is a platform for showcasing the best films from around the world, as well as a platform of professional people that helps the growth and form the local film industry.
The festival has two major international competitions, non-competition program, and panorama of documentary films.

11º Bangalore Shorts Film Festival-22 é um movimento para reconhecer e popularizar o trabalho de cineastas jovens e experientes de toda a Índia e mundo. A humilde jornada da BSFF começou no ano de 2012 para marcar a celebração dos 100 anos do cinema indiano e para saudar a contribuição da indústria cinematográfica Kannada para o desenvolvimento do cinema na Índia. O festival fornece plataforma para cineastas aspirantes e profissionais para mostrar seus talentos com oportunidades de networking e marketing na indústria cinematográfica.
O objetivo do festival é criar cultura de curtas-metragens na Índia, promoção dos próximos cineastas, desenvolver fontes de geração de receita para curtas-metragens e fazer curtas-metragens fazendo uma empresa comercial. O BSFF-2012-2021 foi um grande sucesso com a enorme participação de cineastas de todo o país e do exterior.
O objetivo do BSFF-22 é ainda maior e melhor com a participação dos cineastas. Este ano, o festival apresentará mais workshops e master classes. O Miniboxoffice Film Market será o destaque para os cineastas que querem se aventurar na produção de longas-metragens. O concurso de curtas-metragens e programação de festivais será o prazer de tratar.
O Anima-São - Festival Internacional de Animação da cidade de São Gonçalo (RJ) - é uma atividade para congregar todos os amantes do Cinema de Animação na Região do Recôncavo da Baía de Guanabara.
O Cinema (a chamada 7ª Arte) tem uma divisão, o Cinema de Animação, que por sua vez se sub-divide em Animação 2D, Animação 3D, “Pixilation”, “Stop-Motion” e várias outras técnicas. Uma produção pode ser feita com uma ou várias destas. O uso da Animação é tão difundido que nem se percebe sua ação nas produções audiovisuais contemporâneas.
O Festival Anima-São tem por objetivo demonstrar a produção atual dessas técnicas, utilizadas por vários produtores no Mundo inteiro. O Festival Anima-São traz para a cidade de São Gonçalo o melhor da Animação Nacional e Internacional.
As Oficinas do Festival são ocasiões de contato entre as pessoas e as técnicas. São oportunidades de mostrar ou mesmo descobrir seu talento próprio.
As Mesas de Debate do Festival são momentos de ver de perto os produtores renomados de filmes e representantes de empresas que produzem o que vimos na Mídia. Nessas ocasiões a interatividade da platéia é o elemento mais importante.
O Coliseu é o momento que ficamos cara-a-cara com uma “fera”, isto é, uma grande personalidade da área. De perto para aprender com sua experiência e termos alegria de olhar para talvez nosso ideal de profissão.
A Sessão Papagoiaba é característica do Festival: produções feitas em São Gonçalo por gonçalenses. Aqui se produz Cultura!
O Festival Anima-São tem sua “parte inclusiva”, isto é, crianças e jovens de comunidades carentes da cidade estão presentes especialmente convidados pela Produção do Festival.
Bem-vindo ao Festival Anima-São, o Festival GAG: gratuito, anual e gonçalense!
