Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.

The International TV Festival Bar is held in the last week of October in the town of Bar lying on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro, one of the six former Yugoslav republics.
The Festival was started in 1994. It has endeavoured to preserve the loosened ties among people and nations of what used to be their common homeland, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and indicate that their future cooperation in the media and openness to the world is inevitable.
The first festival took place in 1995. After one year's break in 1998, it continued gathering more and more television centres from renowned European and world centres, as well as from all the republics of former Yugoslavia.
The Festival is held in the last week of October. As of 2001, the Festival (MEDIACOM Sector) also organizes events of different content and purpose, such as Meetings of Television Stations of South East Europe, and other similar events.
Mt. Vernon Film Festival (MTVFF) is a showcase of extraordinary films from emerging and aspiring artists, filmmakers, and directors that integrate different media formats to produce quality films. The 4 day film festival is designed to highlight Mr. Vernon’s rich historic and diverse culture while celebrating the giants like Michael O’Keefe, Phylicia Rashad and Denzel Washington that were born of this great city. Our goal is to link the past and the present–introducing and re-introducing films from both emerging, independent and established filmmakers. In addition, there will be a series of workshops and panel discussions designed to empower the people. We also have a special category for filmmakers (youth & adults) who currently live or have lived in Mt. Vernon.
We are looking featured films, shorts, narratives, and documentaries in all categories.
This event is open to everyone.

The Bogotá International Documentary Film Festival (MIDBO), organized by the Colombian Documentary Filmmakers Corporation ALADOS, is an event specialized in documentaries that over the past 26 years has consolidated itself in Colombia and Latin America as a fundamental space for exhibition, dialogue, and thought around non-fiction audiovisual works.
For the 27th edition of MIDBO, we invite filmmakers and producers to submit their audiovisual works for the 2025 film call and to participate in various training and discussion spaces that will be held both virtually and in person during the event.
This year, the 27th edition of MIDBO will take place from October 29 to November 7 in Bogotá, Colombia. The event will tour different regions of the country throughout the year, maintaining our "Martes MIDBO-ALADOS" screening series in various partner venues.
After 26 editions, MIDBO continues to work on creating an event that fosters and trusts in reflection on documentaries, the ways in which we approach reality, with our main interest being the many ways of documenting the world. Committed to the goal of unraveling the complexity of a reality that exceeds us, we continue to build each year the ideal space to meet and reflect on documentary work.
For 2025, we maintain our interest in promoting creation and recognizing the efforts of filmmakers by offering two competitive sections: one for Ibero-American feature films and another for national short films. We will award the prize for Best Ibero-American Documentary Feature, for films longer than 60 minutes made in Ibero-America, and the prize for Best National Documentary Short, for films no longer than 30 minutes made in Colombia or by a Colombian. The jury for each competition will be announced one month before the event and will consist of three (3) artists, filmmakers, writers, critics, or cultural managers.
*** We are committed to being an inclusive event, so we will pay special attention to films that include audio description for blind individuals, closed captions, or inclusive subtitles for deaf audiences. ***
Within the framework of the multiple activities presented and organized by Andares: Cinematographic Actions, we are pleased to present the third edition of our Contemporary Film Festival. Another short, careful and compact edition to celebrate cinephilia in the peruvian fall.
