Amal is a cultural film event of reference, held annually since 2003. Its first edition was conceived as an audiovisual showcase and, after its success, in 2005 it took a step further to become an international competitive festival; the first and only Euro-Arab Film Festival in Europe at that time. After twelve editions, it has once again become a competitive festival, leaving behind the character of an exhibition, aspiring to favour the synergies created between producers, filmmakers and the public. Thus, this 23rd edition will be made up of three competitive sections: 5 fiction films, 5 documentaries and 5 short films, with the aim of recognising the cinematographic talent of the participants in each of the competitive sections.
Any film, feature film or short film - documentary or fiction - of Arab production or co-production may be submitted. Films produced anywhere in the world that deal with themes related to the Arab world (made between 2022-2025) may also be submitted.
The Amal Euro-Arab Film Festival is an appointment with the social vindication, tolerance and concord of peoples. It has become a benchmark and has attracted spectators of all ages, generating a critical and current debate on the Arab world and its contribution to universal culture. In these two decades, Amal has grown in social commitment and has become a loudspeaker for people who need to be heard and for stories that need to be told. They all deserve to be in our memory. They all have a place in the common ground of our civilisation: tolerance. Amal is once again the great cultural bridge between East and West through documentaries and committed films.
Cine Sinú Audiovisual Festival is an event developed to promote and disseminate the National Audiovisual Production and Local . Emerges as a collective concern of search spaces for the dissemination of works and generate the interaction between artists and the community at large , in order to strengthen the audiovisual culture in the Department of Cordoba, Colombia .
GUIAR is the first festival created in Pernambuco with audiovisual online shows. The event will take place during five days and will feature international videodance films in competitive and non-competitive shows , as well as workshops, and live and online performance presentations.
The event was created from the annoyance of André Aguiar with the lack of public access to dance performances. "The challenge of inspiring people through the dance is greater because it is an ephemeral and face-to-face language. But through the audiovisual, this cultural expression can be appreciated at any time by people in different parts of the world, thanks to digital technologies and the internet", comments Aguiar.
The use of the Internet is also a key point for the event decentralization and to guarantee popular participation. On one of the days of the Festival, the audience will choose the film that will be screened, through voting by social networks. To make the event even more accessible, there will also be audiodescription, translators and subtitles in Portuguese and English.
The Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, through the Secretaría de Difusión Cultural (Secretary of Cultural Promotion), the Dirección de Promoción Artística (Directorate of Artistic Promotion), and the Cineclub invites the members of the university community, graduated students, and general public to participate in the Fourteenth Short Film Contest “A PANTALLA ABIERTA 2020”.
The objective is developing, promoting and encouraging videos as a means of artistic and social expression.
Welcome to the Kathmandu World Film Festival (KWFF)!

Kathmandu is also home to a large art and music community, a growing filmmaking community, and generous patrons of the arts making Kathmandu audiences a hallmark of the festival. Sophisticated movie-goers of all ages and backgrounds - hungry for the quality independent film - audiences are receptive, opinionated and genuine. Screening a film at KWFF is a catalyst for generating awareness and buzz in the epicenter of the country that radiates through the region.
Honoring stories worth telling since 2009.
New Media Film Festival® is a Los Angeles cultural event devoted to the creators who shape how we see, feel, and understand the world. For more than a decade, we have welcomed artists, innovators, and storytellers whose work expands the possibilities of narrative expression — whether through classic cinematic craft or emerging technologies that invite audiences to experience story in new dimensions.
Our guiding principle is simple and deeply held:
We are fair to all creators, in all ages, all cultures, and all media.
Each year, the festival becomes a gathering place for imagination — a space where curiosity is celebrated, new ideas are explored, and creators from around the globe share work that reflects the complexity and beauty of human experience. Our stages have welcomed Nobel Laureates, Oscar® winners, Emmy® legends, Grammy® icons, bestselling authors, pioneering technologists, and creators whose voices continue to influence contemporary culture.
A Legacy of Firsts
Long before these formats entered the mainstream, New Media Film Festival® was the first to present:
AI‑generated films
Holographic digital comics
Immersive VR/360 experiences
Mobile‑first vertical storytelling
Blockchain and NFT‑based narrative content
Touch‑rotation stories
Micro‑content distribution
Collaborative V‑screening formats
These “firsts” reflect our belief that storytelling is a living art — one that evolves, adapts, and invites new forms of wonder.
A Global Home for Creators
Artists from more than 50 countries have shared their work with us. Many have gone on to secure distribution, sign development deals, collaborate with studios, or expand their creative practice through connections made at the festival.
We welcome all formats — cinematic, immersive, experimental, online, distributed, or still in post.
If it is story, it has a place here.

The Globe International Silent Film Festival
"Where Pictures create an international language."
Our goal is to focus on the picture as the basic structure of cinema as an art.
We believe the silent era of cinema (1895-1930) has made the picture and mise en scène richer and more powerful. Although by introducing of sound in cinema we've been passed that era a long time ago but still silent cinema is carrying a great part of avant-garde and artistic films. GISFF aimed to gather, screen and respect these creative films.
