The ELCO 2025 Competition
Discover the competition categories and everything you need to know to submit your film to ELCO 2025: A festival that opens borders, reaching 6 countries and 16 cities.

The ELCO Film Festival classifies aspiring works into three sections, aiming to showcase the talent competing with their diverse works in the festival. We'll award feature films, short films, and music videos in our 13th ELCO edition.

In the feature film section, we'll award categories for fiction, documentary, and animation in a single competition for Venezuela. Likewise, in Argentina, Colombia, Spain, the USA, and the Dominican Republic, we'll exclusively award the best fiction feature film from each country, respectively. These latter winners will then compete for the "Best Foreign Film ELCO 2025" award.

Similarly, in the short film section in Venezuela, we'll award fiction, documentary, and animation. And specifically to encourage local production, within the same short film section, for the first time we'll award the best short film from each Venezuelan region. This means this year we'll specially recognize local talent from the venues in Caracas, Maracaibo, Calabozo, Ciudad Bolívar, Ciudad Guayana, Mérida, Margarita, Lechería, and La Victoria. In Argentina, Colombia, Spain, the USA, and the Dominican Republic, we'll also award the best fiction short film from each country, respectively.

In a different approach, the music video section will award the best international ELCO music video, a competition where all competitors from ELCO 2025 countries will meet and be judged.

On the Road Film Festival

Rome, Italy


“A path is always between two points, but the in-between has taken on all the consistency
and enjoys both an autonomy and a direction of its own” G. Deleuze, F. Guattari, 1987

Based at the legendary DETOUR Arthouse Cinema, in the heart of Rome since 1997, ON THE ROAD FILM FESTIVAL is devoted to contemporary independent cinema - fiction, documentary and experimental - presenting travelogues, urban and waste-land wanderings, real or imaginary topographies, unexpected detours, psycho-geographical drifts, migration and nomadism.

We look for films that develop, through linguistic and narrative skills, a critical and inventive approach to the subject guidelines of the Festival: a traveling mood with digressions from fixed paths, where the route is what matters, not the destination.

The Festival hosts screenings, master classes, meetings, art exhibitions, live performances and music, both at DETOUR Cinema and at a variety of cinema venues, film clubs, schools, public libraries and other unusual locations in Rome and and in its surrounding area.

OTRFF competition consists of two sections: THE ROAD (Features and Mid-length films =>30') and SHORT>CUTS (short films <30')

Features and Short Films in competition will be screened in late 2021 or in early 2022 at Detour Cinema in Rome, depending on the progress of the covid pandemic. 

In respect of impediments resulting from the persistence of the pandemic emergency, the main festival events, the award ceremony and the screenings of the winning films will take place live online in "virtual cinema" mode.

Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.)

The Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.) is an annual international showcase dedicated to independent filmmakers. Founded in 2017 by THE BASEMENT, a nonprofit Cultural and Educational Organization (B.C.E.O.), the festival was built by creators, for creators.

In a film industry dominated by studios and massive budgets, independent voices often struggle to break through. A.C.H.I.F.F. exists to change that. We provide a platform where filmmakers with limited resources — but powerful stories — can share their vision with a global audience.

At A.C.H.I.F.F., every participant receives recognition. Gold and Silver winners are honored with official certificates, while all filmmakers — regardless of category or distinction — receive personalized poster‑awards. With numerous award categories spanning narrative, performance, technical craft, and visual identity, the festival ensures that every creator leaves with something meaningful, and the celebration of cinema becomes a rich tapestry of many prizes. In addition, winners, nominees, and finalists have the option to acquire handcrafted bust‑awards, made from mineral‑based material and hand‑painted, offering a tangible keepsake of their achievement.
Why Submit to A.C.H.I.F.F.?

A Proven Legacy: For 9 years, we’ve screened hundreds of films, from 4‑day to 11‑day events, always spotlighting originality and bold storytelling.

A New Monthly Format: Starting this year, A.C.H.I.F.F. becomes a monthly festival. Each month, one film is awarded Best of the Month. The 12 monthly winners then compete at Halloween for the ultimate honor: Best Film of the Year.

Faster Recognition: Immediate selection and award notifications mean your work gets the attention it deserves without long delays.

IMDB Verified & International Prestige: A.C.H.I.F.F. is an IMDB‑verified festival, ensuring that every official selection and award is formally recognized.

Over the years, we have attracted submissions from filmmakers whose works have been screened at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and awards, including the Academy Awards (U.S.), Sitges, Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Cannes, Sundance, and Tribeca.

This growing network of creators highlights the festival’s reputation as a trusted platform for independent voices in horror, crime, and beyond.

✨ Submit your film today and join a festival that celebrates bold storytelling, nurtures independent talent, and brings unforgettable visions to the screen.

10 ed. IBICINE Ibiza’s Film Festival - Astarté Awards

Ibiza, Spain


IACI, Ibicine Asociación Cinematográfica de Ibiza, and Dicho y hecho Producciones S.L. are organisations dedicated, amongst other things, to organising cultural events, notably IBICINE, the Ibiza Film Festival and its Astarté Awards, an international film festival that runs throughout the year, with its main programme taking place between January and April.

IBICINE was founded with the aim of promoting emerging national, international and Balearic film talent, fostering encounters between new creators and established professionals from the audiovisual industry on the island of Ibiza. The festival places particular emphasis on the short film as a creative format with its own distinct identity, recognising the artistic and technical excellence of these works through the Astarté Awards – a statuette designed and crafted in Ibiza in homage to the Phoenician goddess Astarté, a symbol of the island’s historical and cultural legacy; as well as featuring an Official Feature Film Section and an industry programme that includes the Ibiza Film Campus and the Ibicine ScriptLAB, amongst other activities.
In addition to the International Official Short Film Section (SOC), the festival features the International Official Feature Film Section (SOL), various parallel sections and industry activities, including the Ibiza Film Market, the ScriptLab and professional meetings aimed at fostering project development, specialised training and the creation of new opportunities for collaboration within the audiovisual sector.

IBICINE sees Ibiza as a meeting point for filmmakers, producers, distributors, streaming platforms, institutions, students and the general public, fostering the exchange of knowledge, the creation of professional networks and the international promotion of audiovisual talent.

Over the course of its ten editions, the festival has established a programme characterised by artistic quality, a diversity of perspectives, equal opportunities and a commitment to cinema as a cultural and social tool.

IBICINE has been selected by UNESCO as Spain’s representative festival within the international film tourism routes ‘Movie Travel’; it has received recognition from the Consell d’Eivissa; it was honoured with the Business Excellence Award for Best Film Festival in the Balearic Islands by Acquisition International in 2023 and 2026, and with the Hospitality Award for Festival of the Year by LUXlife magazine in 2024, amongst other national and international accolades.

Since 2022, IBICINE has been included on the official list of partner festivals of the Spanish Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and is a qualifying festival for the Goya Awards in the categories of Best Fiction Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film and Best Animated Short Film.

Short films awarded the Astarté Prize for Best Fiction Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film and Best Animated Short Film may qualify for the Goya Awards, provided they meet the requirements set by the Spanish Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the current rules for the relevant edition. Furthermore, the winners of these prizes will receive a cash prize from the festival.

Furthermore, from 2023, IBICINE is a qualifying festival for the Forqué Awards in the categories of Best Fiction Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film and Best Animated Short Film, and for the Fugaz Awards in the category of Best Fiction Short Film.
The selection committee is made up of professionals from various specialisms within the audiovisual sector, who assess the submitted works according to criteria of cinematic quality, originality, thematic diversity and technical excellence, as well as the stories’ ability to engage with the audience.

The official jury is made up of Academicians and professionals of recognised standing from various sectors of the national and international film industry, appointed by the festival’s management. Its composition will be announced in the Nominees Announcement for this edition, in February 2027. The jury chair will have the casting vote in the event of a tie.

Since its first edition, IBICINE has enjoyed the support of leading figures from Spanish cinema such as Jon Plazaola, Nadia de Santiago, Kira Miró, Inma Cuevas, Paz Vega, Michelle Calvó, Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo and María Adánez, who have served as festival patrons, as well as Belinda Washington, Eva Soriano and other industry professionals who have supported the festival.
The Astarté Awards of Honour are presented annually to professionals and institutions whose careers have made a significant contribution to the development and promotion of cinema. The decision to award these honours rests solely with the festival’s management. Over the course of this first decade, the award has been presented to: the actress Terele Pávez (posthumously), the director Isabel Coixet, the Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media (CIMA), the actor and director Paco León, the actress Yolanda Ramos, the comedian Eva Soriano, the journalist and film critic Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo, international producer and screenwriter Axel Kuschevatzky, FILMIN co-founder Jaume Ripoll, international actor Leonardo Sbaraglia, actor Javier Gutiérrez, actress Cecilia Suárez, director Carmen Vidal, director Toni Bestard, actress Antonia San Juan, Hollywood journalist Bárbara Gasser, and journalist and presenter Elena Sánchez.

IBICINE is made possible thanks to the support of public institutions, private organisations, sponsoring companies, partners, the media and a large team of professionals who ensure that Ibiza continues to establish itself as a leading centre for cinema and the audiovisual industry both nationally and internationally.

The organisers reserve the right to make any necessary changes to the programme, venues, schedule or activities for organisational, technical or force majeure reasons, whilst always endeavouring to ensure the smooth running of the festival and the fulfilment of its objectives.

The Addis International Film Festival (AIFF) is an annual film festival created by Initiative Africa in 2007 and held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The festival is the largest independent documentary cinema festival in Africa and it was established as a unique initiative seeking to use the power of documentary films to support innovative ways of creating awareness on social issues.

The festival is a celebratory and educational event showcasing a carefully curated selection of films from both seasoned and emerging filmmakers addressing a wide range of themes such as peace building, inequality, women empowerment, children's rights, and much more.

Dear Filmmaker,

We’re happy to share some important news with you. Over the past years, we’ve been organizing two editions of the Travel Film Festival — one in Cyprus and another in Russia. This year, we’ve decided to combine them into one united international festival, which will now be held annually in March, starting from 2026.

The unified Travel FilmFest brings together the best travel and outdoor sports films from around the world — created by professionals and passionate enthusiasts.

Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or an adventurer with a camera, your story matters. The originality and spirit of exploration in your film are far more important than its budget or production scale.

We warmly invite you to submit your next film to the unified Travel Film Festival, where travel and outdoor sports cinema inspire audiences worldwide.
We collaborate with TRAVEL FILM International Film Festival.

Phábrika - International Short Film Festival For Children And Youth

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


Created in partnership between A Gota Preta Filmes and the Centro Cultural Phábrika from experiences with the Municipal Schools Sculptor Leão Velloso (06.25.019), Journalist and Writer Daniel Piza (06.25.41), Érico Veríssimo (06.25.06) and Charles Anderson Weaver (06.25.05), the International Short Film Festival for Children and Youth has the mission to contribute to Education by providing a playful environment conducive to learning through the exhibition of educational films from around the world, betting on the aesthetics of cinema to develop critical sense, sharpen curiosity and stimulate interest in learning in an area with fragile school performance!

Our goal is to invest in this exchange by screening the selected films for 22 municipal units, impacting the lives of thousands of students by expanding the offer of Cultural Capital to the population served by the schools concentrated in micro-areas 6.5 and 6.7 of the 6th Regional Education Coordination of Rio de Janeiro, lacking equipments that provides this access.
