The Pirineos Mountain Film Festival (Mountain, Adventure and Nature Film Festival of the Pyrenees) was born in Huesca (Spain) as a film competition focused on mountain and Biosphere.
This film event held its first edition in sample format in February 2022, to give way in 2023 to an international competitive festival around mountain, adventure and nature short films.
Atalaya is an international festival that aims to give a voice to films that deal with issues as important as social justice and Human Rights, covering topics such as inequality in all its forms, democratic memory, poverty, solidarity, education, health and well-being, peace, sustainability, and more.
It takes place in the autumn in the town of Casariche, located east of the province of Seville.
About the festival
If we had to define Facom Fest in a single phrase, as a tagline, it would be: “A Galician festival for students”. This leaves us with two main focuses of interest: on the one hand, our unwavering commitment to promoting Galician projects; and, on the other hand, the emphasis on “students”. Unlike previous editions, this 4th edition aims to give visibility not only to works created by Galician students, but also by students from any region of the world. We believe that our condition as students is vital for establishing dialogues and debates, identifying common or divergent points, and above all, learning. Even though we are still in training, this international initiative aspires to give us the ability to teach — this time, we, the global student body, to our peers. To share experiences, visions, techniques, and, who knows, perhaps contacts. Following the spirit of previous editions, we understand that many works created during one’s academic formation deserve to have a life of their own — to be seen, discussed, and to reach beyond borders, which often seems difficult when entering the professional world.
Thus, in this new edition we offer the opportunity for all students currently enrolled, or who have completed their studies in the previous year, in any university or educational institution at any level, anywhere in the world, to submit their works to the festival.
This new edition, Facom Fest 2025, will take place from November 24th to 27th, 2025, in Santiago de Compostela.
Un Court Tournable is a shorts films festival event that aims to be a place of discovery of new talents in the field of cinema.
Personalities will sponsor some of our events as a guest of honor, an opportunity to share experience with this artistic universe.
The festival have 4 editions by year.

Launched in June 2024, the Abia International Film Festival (ABIFF) debuted with a spectacular inaugural edition held from 20th to 22nd December 2024. It was a transformative celebration of creativity, storytelling, and culture, attracting filmmakers, enthusiasts, and industry professionals from across Nigeria and beyond. The next edition promises to be even bigger and better—stay tuned as we announce the official dates soon!
The current severe political and ecological crises seem to make idealistic or even utopian thinking—developing positive visions of the future—almost impossible.
Our theme, Collaborative Futures – SMALL APPROACHES, seeks to focus precisely on these small gestures of hope or success.
Participation will be determined by a jury composed of the cooperation partners listed on the website.

The Athens Marathon International Film Festival (A.M.I.F.F.) is more than a cinematic event; it is a celebration of independent cinema that connects Athens with the world. In the historic and vibrant city that gave birth to the Marathon, the festival brings together creators and audiences, offering a platform for bold, authentic, and artistically pioneering voices.
Founded by the non profit cultural and educational organization “THE BASEMENT”, its mission from the very beginning has been to highlight films distinguished by originality, atmosphere, and the power of storytelling.
From its 8th edition onward, A.M.I.F.F. has evolved into a monthly competition with an annual event, giving filmmakers more opportunities for recognition and audiences more moments of cinematic experience.
Each month, the jury selects winners, honorable mentions, and finalists, who receive electronic award certificates. The best short films (international or Greek short), at the jury’s discretion, qualify for the annual festival in Athens, where they compete for the Film of the Year Award and the Audience Award, through live screenings attended by both jury and audience.
The festival offers:
• Low submission fees, among the most affordable in Europe.
• Free admission to screenings, ensuring participation by a wide and diverse audience.
• IMDb listing for all awarded and nominated films.
• The opportunity for filmmakers to acquire the handcrafted Owl Trophy, a unique work of art symbolizing the wisdom and spirit of the festival.
Beyond Athens, A.M.I.F.F. travels: through the initiative “The Festival Travels”, selected films are screened in communities across Greece — from mountain villages to coastal towns — in open air screenings and local events. In this way, the festival acts as a cultural and educational institution, bringing independent cinema to communities that often lack access to such experiences.
The Athens Marathon International Film Festival is an official holder of the EFFE Label from the European Festivals Association (EFA), a recognition that confirms its artistic excellence, community engagement, and international outlook. In previous editions, the festival was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, further strengthening its institutional character.

HISTORY
Animation Nights New York was founded by Yvonne Grzenkowicz. On September 9, 2015, Little Water Radio invited us to use their old space at 207a Front St in the back of Fulton Stall Market for our premiere “NY Independents” screening. The program was curated by Yvonne Grzenkowicz (Animation Nights New York) and Robert Lyons (ASIFA East). We had about 45 attendees. We soon outgrew the space! (Thank you, Little Water Radio and Fulton Stall Market!)
Jan-April 2016 we were in residency with the Third Annual Out to See Festival at 192 Front St (Jan-Apr) in the South Street Seaport. We were the premiere event for this winter festival hosted by Little Water Radio and sponsored by the Howard Hughes Corporation. Animation Nights New York continued to grow.
In May 2016, Animation Nights New York relocated to the beautiful 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 with support from Anderson Contemporary, MHP, Clarion Partners, and Maiden Lane Hospitality. We could finally accommodate our growing regular attendance!
Animation Nights New York now holds screening events around NYC. Besides 180 Maiden Lane, we’ve held screening events at the One World Trade Observatory, the Arts Brookfield Terrace at Brookfield Place, and The Gutter Spare Room in Williamsburg Brooklyn. We’ve held workshops and VR pop-up events at The Capitale and The Hideaway Seaport.
We’ve had over 11000 films submitted from all around the world. The work is beautiful and inspiring and the events have fostered a sense of community and exchange.
We’ve had tremendous support from ASIFA, NYC ACM SIGGRAPH, NYWIFT, Women in Animation, and the animation community at large. Animation Nights New York programs have included work by award winning animators such as Bill Plympton, George Griffin, Joanna Quinn, John Dilworth, Signe Baumane, Michael Sullivan, Dustin Grella, AthanassiosVakalis and Tiny Inventions among others.
Animation Nights New York had our First Annual ANNY Best of Fest on September 29-30, 2016. Our panel judges selected 20 films from the 200 screened Sept 2015-July 2016. The ANNY Best of Fest featured Animation Screenings, VR Animation Experiences, Art Installations, Industry Events, Artist Booths, and Professional Panels at 180 Maiden Lane and venues around the Seaport District of NYC.
Our goal is to strengthen the animation community and ensure filmmakers are rewarded for their efforts. We are looking to partner with companies who are naturally aligned with our mission to promote the arts. A huge thanks to everyone who helped us get this started.
Keep supporting independent animation. We hope to see you at our next event!
