Puglia, southern Italy.
In 1945 the American army landed in southern Italy for the "liberation" campaign and suddenly passed through Molfetta, our base city. During their stay the allies reported some neighborhoods as "OUT OF LIMITS" due to the "social danger" of the people who lived there. In the first two editions, 2013 and 2014, our festival took place in two squares, Piazza San Michele and Piazza delle Erbe, near the areas still considered by many to be "out of bounds", in Molfetta.
The “Out Of Bounds” film event is run by filmmakers and focuses on empowering the best independent artists and encouraging all aspects of independent film production. We seek the unconventional, the unusual, the underground, the intuitive, the innovative and the true.
Subsequent editions took place in the cloister of the church of San Domenico, in the port area of the town and in the ancient arena of the castle of Barletta, an evocative and historic medieval place and at the Artists' Citadel of Molfetta.
The special sections chosen for this edition are "Short on sport as a tool for dialogue and peace" and “Shorts on gender equality, even those directed by a male director" (INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL).
There is no submission fee for short films from Iran, Palestine, Ukraine or a State in a critical political situation.
After years of experience in the independent music industry, the European Indie Music Network is launching the Euro Indie Film Fest to discover the best talents from around the world and showcase their works during a special gala night on the Euro Indie Music Chart TV, a cable TV channel broadcasted worldwide! A special award will be given to the winner!
The winner could receive a special prize that includes international visibility for their film, with a broadcast on Euro Indie Music Chart TV, along with media coverage on platforms associated with the network. An official trophy and networking opportunities with professionals in the independent film and music industries.
Wallachia International Film Festival is a highly professional, industry connected film festival, an exclusive independent grassroots film festival taking place in an exquisite location in Downtown Bucharest, only hundreds of meters away from Dracula’s former court in the grand Old Town!
We won multiple cinema prizes including important awards at major film festivals, like Cannes, Locarno, Montreal, London, Milan, Miami and Atlanta. Also, our advertising work received accolades at Clio, Effie, In-Awe, Lion Awards, ANDY Awards and Ad’Or, while working for companies like Coca-Cola, UNICEF, McDonalds, Renault, Yahoo! and Nestlé-Purina.
But there’s nothing we love more than indulging ourselves with cinematic candies from all over the world, under the autumn night sky of Wallachia. We will be arguing for a long time about which ones we feel are the best, and about the most promising unproduced screenplays.
Welcome to Wallachia, the Legendary Land of Voivode Vlad III Dracula, universally known as Vlad the Impaler. Born in 1431, Vlad was an authoritarian Principe, he revolutionized the affairs of Wallachia and refused to pay tribute to the sultan Mehmed II, resulting in a bloody war with the Ottomans. Multiple works containing stories about Vlad's cruelty were published soon after his assassination in 1475. In 1897, Bram Stoker downgrades Prince Vlad to Count Dracula, a blood-sucking vampire inspired by Wallachian ancient folklore. Loosely based on the book, Dracula (1931) casts immortal Bela Lugosi as the doomed romantic Count.
Just think cinétopia! Feel hundreds of years of mythic Wallachian history under the night sky! It’s a 100% natural film affair!
We watch all movies, we read all screenplays and we select exclusively based on artistic merits.

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.

Everything begins with an idea, a line, a movement — a spark born on a sheet of paper, that comes to life and starts to move.
It’s this magic that Bellecour École and Filmoramax have decided to celebrate together through a student animation film competition, entirely dedicated to the young talents who will shape the cinema of tomorrow.
Behind this project lies a shared ambition: to offer a stage to the new generation of artists, allowing them to express their vision, tell their stories, and reveal to audiences the emotional power of animation.
This competition is much more than a contest — it’s a meeting point:
between the school and the festival, between students and professionals, between passion and the future.
Throughout the day, participants and the public will dive into the world of animated creation through inspiring masterclasses, exclusive screenings, and an award ceremony celebrating the most promising talents.
The masterclasses will take place at Bellecour École, a place of learning and transmission where tomorrow’s creators are shaped every day.
The screenings of the competing films will be held at UGC Confluence, bringing the audience to life through the rhythm of student imagination.
Finally, the day will conclude where it all began — at Bellecour École — with the award ceremony and a closing gala marked by sharing, creativity, and celebration.
Two distinctions will be awarded:
Audience Award, reflecting the emotions and favorites of the audience.
Grand Jury Prize, presented by a panel of animation film professionals, offering the winner a one-year UGC subscription for two people — to keep nurturing their passion, film after film.

Os Prêmios Quirino nascem da necessidade de reconhecer o talento na indústria da animação ibero-americana, criando laços e redes entre ambos os lados do oceano.
O evento reúne, portanto, a florescente indústria latino-americana, junto com a de Portugal, Andorra e Espanha, construindo uma verdadeira irmanação para o desenvolvimento conjunto do grande mercado que é a Ibero-América.
Além de reconhecer os melhores trabalhos de animação ibero-americana em nove categorias, os Prémios Quirino servem de marco para o Fórum de Coprodução e Negócios. Cem empresas de vinte países participam todos os anos em reuniões B2B.
Os prêmios foram nomeados em honra do criador do primeiro longa-metragem de animação da história. Em 1917, Quirino Cristiani dirigiu “El Apóstol” (O Apóstolo), uma produção argentina na que foram usados 58.000 desenhos em 35 mm, além de várias maquetes.
Desta maneira, os Prêmios Quirino prestam homenagem ao talento e à criatividade ibero-americana.
