"PUT YOUR CAMERA IN ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS"
The Erronka Munduan (Challenge for the World) contest has a different profile than other traditional festivals. We do not have a deadline for audiovisual production, so we give entry to new productions but also others that are already outside the traditional distribution period of other festivals.
OUR OBJETIV is to put filmmakers into action with their contribution to spread messages that attract attention and try to provoke reactions in society that help change the world.
We know that among all filmmakers we have many "human rights" themed audiovisuals that have already had their distribution tour and are now sleeping openly published on YouTube and Vimeo. We want to give them a new life, recover them, to spread them as virally and massively as we can.
“African in films” is the International African Film Festival and of television during which various filmmakers meet for the presentation of the best current productions, with competitions in all categories dedicated.
“We are dedicated to identifying new talent and the making-of of African movies. The Paris International African Film Festival is an emblematic cultural event, well received by professionals, awaited by a curious and enthusiastic public, supported by many partners and personalities” according to Blaise Pascal Tanguy, its General Delegate.
The specific objectives are among others:
- Promote professionalism in the cinema profession among Africans and;
- Promote the involvement of advertisers and sponsors within the framework of the AFSC;
- Encourage the networking of African and Afro-descendant professionals of all persuasions having a link with the profession of filmmaker.
Today, the existence of numerous festivals organized on and outside the continent to promote films from Africans and Afro-descendants are a step decisive towards the development of a true cinematographic industry local. Festivals held outside the continent are, in this respect, encouraging experiences of an Africa that meets other cultures, enriched by the contributions of Afro-descendants, for the great “rendez vous of giving and receiving”. It is in line with this noble ambition that “African in films” which will be at its 5th edition in October 2023 at Paris, was born.
The National Film and Television Festival, the only Kermesse in Italy to combine the two macro-themes of communication, manages to connect, in a simple and direct way, but at the same time, criticism and analytics, themes and communication structures that accompany and sometimes affect the lives of everyone. Through stories, meetings, debates, screenings, shows, exhibitions and concerts, the greatest artists of the small and big screen are told captured by the emotion generated by the "climate" of magic that only the world of cinema and TV can give to a passionate audience of spectators.
Short films, either animation or live action, in the science fiction, fantasy or horror categories are desired. Films are typically from 5 to 15 minutes (as long as 20 minutes)in length.
Currently we plan on a live event from May 23-26, 2025 in downtown Baltimore, much like the events we have had for the past 50+ years.
