Pertanto, lo spazio occupato dal Santander International Film Festival — Picknic Film Festival, è un luogo in cui film di visibilità e distribuzione ridotte, ma selezionati per festival cinematografici prestigiosi, con l'approvazione della stampa, hanno la possibilità di essere proiettati.

FesticineKids 27 è un festival internazionale di film per bambini e giovani a Cartagena de Indias, è un concorso cinematografico che orienta i suoi sforzi verso il rafforzamento della produzione e della distribuzione del cinema colombiano, latinoamericano e mondiale per bambini e giovani.
Nel 2025, FesticineKids raggiunge la sua 27a edizione con lo stesso spirito di mettere in risalto e celebrare il cinema per ragazze, ragazzi e giovani. La frase è stata scelta come slogan: I VALORI DEI NOSTRI BAMBINI. Partendo da questo concetto si intende invitare bambini e giovani a essere consapevoli della responsabilità che hanno di essere agenti di cambiamento nei loro ambienti. I bambini e i giovani sono il futuro che dovrebbe incoraggiare la cura del nostro pianeta terra, degli esseri umani che li circondano, degli animali e delle piante, nonché dei luoghi che visitano. La tendenza ai film afro e a quelli orientati alle popolazioni indigene.
Nella costruzione del profilo del FesticineKids 27, lo schermo viene problematizzato come punto di confluenza di ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti. Postulando il cinema come quello scenario in cui si esprimono sentimenti, emozioni e convinzioni, si intende che ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti, comprendendo ciò che il cinema li evoca, cosa ne estraggono e i suoi significati, si interrogino sul posto che il cinema ha nella loro vita, nel loro ambiente, parallelamente al luogo che vogliono e sognano.
È anche un'opportunità per adulti, genitori, insegnanti, autorità culturali e cinematografiche, di riflettere sulla necessità di rafforzare le loro capacità di essere formatori in tensione e interazione con i media audiovisivi, in particolare il cinema.

Poiché il Festival Internazionale di Cortometraggi «Ciudad de Soria» considera sempre il CINEMA dei cortometraggi come capitale e considera essenziale la diffusione della cultura, il nostro scopo è promuovere come mezzo di espressione audiovisiva il contributo al riconoscimento e alla diffusione. Questo formato deve essere essenzialmente e fondamentalmente una parte del CINEMA.
Some call it the “Lady Tickler,” “Lip Spinach,” or even, the “Cookie Duster.” Formally, it is known simply as “The Moustache.” In all of its forms it represents a man’s individuality and inner strength. Whether a full, furry and lustrous lip warmer or a smooth, sleek line of suave sophistication weaving it’s way across a dude’s upper lip, a man’s Moustache is an indication of his robust heart and the very soul of his being.
As part of the annual Facial Hair Fest—a celebration of facial hair in Portland, Maine—we are now looking for submissions for the International Moustache Film Festival (IMFF). Films will be screened in several venues throughout the week of March 21 through March 28, 2015,.
The Facial Hair Fest features all sorts of delightfully hairy good times, including the 8th annual Stache Pag (a moustache pageant), the Facial Hair Farmers Market, the Can-Am Beard and Moustache Competition, and of course, the IMFF. A number of IMFF screening blocks will be held, each dedicated to a different kind of stache. And despite the official name of the festival, beards are welcome. They are, after all, the less refined cousin to the moustache.
Films will be selected based on two criteria. First, we want good films. Second, we want films that highlight conspicuous, outstanding, and awesome facial hair. It's that simple.
Past years have seen the IMFF covered in the global press, including: Movie|Line, EW.com, The Guardian, BBC, Reuters, The Huffington Post, Boston.com, Yahoo.com, The Times of India, Buenos Aires Herald, DownEast Magazine, The Tribune, American Mustache Institute, The Beard Club and Stuff.Co.NZ.
Have a main character with a nice stache? Send us your film.
A documentary about hippies with beards? That's good to.
A film about Salvador Dali or Jesus? Totally qualifies.
A film about any of the following:
Hippies. Prophets. Musicians. Mountain Men. Cops. Robbers. Firemen. Old Fashioned Strong Men. Cowboys. NFL Quarterbacks. Private Investigators. Scientists. Political Leaders. Pirates. Canadians. Wizards. Dwarves. Dads. Cavemen. You. Your friends. Your enemies.
So send us some films, and please consider attending the International Moustache Film Festival!
