Associazione Circolo del Cinema Sogni – Antonio Ricci.
Since 1989, GIRI-DOOT (the leading adventure lovers’ association of Eastern India) has been organizing the International Adventure Film Festival
For 27 years, Giri Doot has proudly hosted this festival one of the country’s longest-running festivals dedicated to exploration, mountaineering, and the spirit of adventure. Now entering its 28th year, the festival continues to attract a vibrant community of climbers, explorers, filmmakers, journalists, and adventure enthusiasts from across the world.
The festival is more than a showcase of films — it is a cultural bridge that fosters international exchange and understanding through the powerful medium of cinema.
Over nearly three decades, it has grown into a celebrated platform where filmmakers and audiences come together to share stories of discovery, courage, and human connection with the natural world.
Each year, the festival presents films that capture the endless dreams of those who venture into the unknown — from daring ascents in the Himalayas to journeys across oceans and deserts. These films educate, inspire, and highlight adventure as not just sport, but also a way to understand our shared planet and its diverse cultures.
This year’s theme is “Himalaya Connects Mount Fuji”, symbolizing the bond between two iconic peaks and the spirit of unity that defines adventure storytelling.
In 2025, the International Adventure Film Festival enters a new chapter, with Bodhak Studio joining hands with Giri Doot to extend its reach and impact.
Together, we aim to continue building a forum that celebrates creativity, storytelling, and the activism inherent in adventure.
From high-altitude expeditions to journeys into remote communities, from adrenaline to quiet reflection, we are excited to showcase the diversity of global adventure cinema.
As it is a touring festival we hold the festival at different places of India from Kashmir to Kanya Kumarika.
Why Submit?
With its 28-year legacy, the International Adventure Film Festival of India is the country’s oldest and most respected adventure film platform. Partnering with Bodhak Studio in 2025, the festival is expanding its vision to bring global adventure cinema to diverse Indian audiences, while spotlighting new voices in the genre.
Join us as we celebrate bold, beautiful stories of terrain, resilience, and the human spirit.
Adventure Film (under 90 minutes)
Adventure Short Film (under 20 minutes)
Student Film (under 15 mins)
The festival is a showcase of films in all genres by young emerging filmmakers.The cultural capital of India hosts numerous film festivals every year. Our team has taken into account the features of most film festivals. To present something new, we decided to place our primary focus on independent underknown filmmaking from all over the world. Besides, we realize that the boundaries of cinema have expanded significantly over the past two decades due to the digital "revolution.” Nowadays, one can shoot films with a smartphone, without using special equipment or being a professional filmmaker. Therefore, the cinema has become far more expressive and entered a new era of its development, uncovering all shades of life, all colours of culture and subcultures. We believe that the programme of Venus Brightest Star Film Festival gives a free hand to any way of artistic expression.
We welcome any experimental ways that create new film languages evolving the cinema!

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.

Five days of out-of-the-ordinary films, shorts, docs, art, performances, poetry, music, food, beer and other extravaganza.

Usually about 70% of the program consists of new films, the rest is retrospective. For each festival edition, three films are nominated for the BUTtest feature award and four or five shorts for the BUTtest short award. The winners are decided by a carefully selected external jury every year.
BUTFF has hosted many internationally renowned guests over the years including; John Waters, Lloyd Kaufman, Enzo G. Castellari, Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson, Rodrigo Aragão, Barak Epstein, Nick Zedd, Remy Couture, Bruce LaBruce, Debbie Rochon, Richard Stanley, Marian Dora, Fred Vogel, Jörg Buttgereit, J.T.

The FIRE!! Mostra is the first LGBT film festival in Spain: established in 1995 by Casal Lambda, in Barcelona, it addresses affective diversity in its broadest sense through a careful selection of feature films, documentaries and short films. A selection of art-house cinema and an educational approach are its main characteristics.
Throughout two weeks at the beginning of June - mainly at the French Institute but also at other different indoor or open-air venues in the city -, a wide range of public is invited to enjoy this Barcelona cultural landmark, with stories and testimonials of free people, creators who break barriers and fighters for human rights, all of whom help with love to build a fairer and freer world.
The festival's name is a tribute to the late 20s New York magazine of the same name, FIRE!!, led by the black gay writer Richard Bruce Nugent, portrayed in one of the most iconic films of the festival, Brother to Brother, which we screened a few years ago.
