CINEMAGIA MOVIE AWARDS

Roma, Italy


CINEMAGIA Movie Awards is an ambitious and magical online independent international film festival that was born, thanks to an intuition of the Artistic Director Daniele Gangemi, as an offshoot of the prestigious CINEMAGIA ONLINE online cinema platform and multiplex, an authoritative point of reference for international independent cinema, which offers production of a virtual multiplex for the launch of their works, accompanying them by the hand in the impervious and difficult distribution path that will eventually lead them to a well-deserved meeting with the public.

The declared goal of the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards is to search and find the true talents of the independent cinema around the world and give them the necessary prominence to become the celebrities of the future.

Only those who hold the rights to a work can register it for the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards, by paying the registration fee provided for by the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards and having the right, if interested, to the publication of their works, if they are officially selected by the jury, to publish them in the multiplex of the CINEMAGIA Online platform, from the moment of selection of the works up to the awarding of the prizes.

FOTOGENIA 7, INTERNATIONAL CINEPOETRY & DIVERGENT NARRATIVES FESTIVAL, promotes a space with an alternative conception of films, a celebration of experimentation and avant-garde framework, the love of curiosity and research of the Seventh Art. Everyone is invited, taking into consideration the disruptive nature of the selected works.

FOTOGENIA is a Film Festival held in the heart and diverse areas of Mexico City that celebrates cinema itself, experimentation with its nature, formats, genres, narrative, projection spaces, and all the freedom to explore the audiovisual image without restriction. It joins the Festivals of this type around the world such as the Film & Video Poetry Symposium which takes place in Moscow, Los Angeles, and New York, Rencontres Internationales held in Paris and Berlin, the Thuringian International Fim Festival in Weimar, Germany, and Le FIFA, Festival International du Film Sur l'Art in Montreal, Canada.

​If you are an audiovisual maker who doesn't find your place, voice, and vision within the traditional film festivals and you are interested in provoking the cinematographic image through the exploration of its frontiers and limits, in order to converse with the viewers in innovative and critical ways to ignite a confrontation between reality and cinematic phenomenon, this is your place to exhibit your passion. We receive filmpoetry, video art, film-diary, film essays, avant-garde feature films, & every kind of experimentation in cinema, animation, music video, fashion films, and poetic documentary.

​And if you are a spectator avid for finding new film proposals, personal movies, and experimental works of cinema, this is your place to watch.

​We welcome you to experience films in another way!

Open your gaze!

La Axarquía Film Festival

Málaga , Spain


Start of the festival: October 6, 2023 End of the festival: October 23, 2023

“La Axarquía Film Festival”, annual and unique in the Andalusian audiovisual scene, will take place in the region of La Axarquía, Málaga, Spain.

Its main objective is to bring cinema and its production closer to rural municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants in the Axarquía, promoting these territories as cultural tourist destinations.

There where the cinema does not reach, where the nearest theater is in a shopping center kilometers away and where people nostalgically remember the cinemas of yesteryear where neighbors and families gathered around the big screen, "La Axarquía Film Festival" wants to turn the streets, squares and churches of these towns into outdoor film festivals.

The Festival will have its Opening Gala in Almáchar, where the works that will compete in the different official sections and the programming and activities and workshops that will take place during the Festival will be announced. With an itinerant program in the municipalities hosting the Festival. The municipality where the Closing Gala will be held will be announced shortly, in which the works awarded by the juries of the different sections will be announced and the awards of the different sections of the Festival contest will be delivered.

The screenings will take place, as far as possible, in open-air public spaces. The idea is to recover the festive atmosphere of the festivals of the past, combining them with the magic of summer cinemas. Chairs, banners, bars outside the bars, red carpets around the squares. The Festival dresses the entire town in celebration to welcome all the residents in a unique and unrepeatable event.

"Axarquía Film Festival" seeks to consolidate itself as a showcase for new works and second works by new directors and directors from all over Spain and the region..

International Short Film Festival on elderly people (FICMA Salamanca)

Salamanca, Spain


The International Festival of Intergenerational Short Films on the Elderly (FICMA) was born within the Federation of Associations of the Elderly of Salamanca (FAMASA) with the aim of providing a cultural offer that contributes to improving the quality of life of the elderly, even with dependence or disfunctions by bringing them closer to a full citizenship and offering the cultural heritage of which they are protagonists. It is celebrated every year between September and October since 2016 in the city of Salamanca, being a meeting of intergenerational culture

The Festival poses as a place of debate and discourse for questions such as: How has cinema treated old age? The reflection of the role of the elderly in the family, sentimental, emotional and social relationships. The positive or negative consequences of cinema into stereotypes and believings about the elder and even if it treats the same way both man and women.

The importance of dignifying the intergenerational relationships between youngsters and elderlies becames vital in order to find ways towards a better future.

OBJECTIVES

The goal of the FICMA is to achieve the people from Salamanca to be closer to the cinema from a third age perspective. This festival is a golden opportunity to offer a cinema party to the city and an active and positive vision from this part of the population.
The festival has as a goal to show the positive part of the elders and to reforce the intergenerationals relationships.
