Frame Film Festival

Itinerante, Spain


FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.

El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.

• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL

El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.

Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!

Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de acontecimientos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.

En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.

The cultural association Tetra Vision, organizer of the “Nuova Rassegna Paradiso”, officially announces the opening of registrations for the third edition of the festival, which will take place on December 5, 2025, at a prestigious movie theater. The festival celebrates independent cinema, showcasing young talent and creating a meeting point for filmmakers, artists, and enthusiasts of the seventh art.

The event aims to stimulate a deep reflection on the themes of invisibility and marginalization through the language and evocative power of cinema.
The festival invites participants to explore the invisible dimension, including themes such as:
- Social isolation and alienation
- Dependencies of all kinds (psychological, emotional, technological, and forms of substance abuse)
- Inner struggles and personal challenges that are not always visible to others
- Invisibility in the media: the representation of society, diversity, and fragility

Participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback from industry experts, technical juries, and an engaged and passionate audience, thus contributing to the growth of the local film community.

An additional goal of the festival is to create networking opportunities, fostering collaborations between emerging artists and established professionals, as well as encouraging cultural exchange between different territorial realities.

Serving as a Premier Film Festival, the Lakecity International Film Festival (LCIFF) held in Delhi was founded to showcase the leaders in contemporary film making, and aims to exhibit the most captivating and innovative content. The Biggest Event in the Capital, the two day LCIFF 2025 festival is slated to happen on December 4th-7th 2025.

Festival Mission:
Breaking all stereotypes, LCIFF's mission is to present quality films from around the world as well as support, recognize and honor indie film makers. These films will be organized thematically, in hopes of representing the full range of the human experience as reflected by our chosen filmmakers. LCIFF will also be a vital showcase for indie short film makers as the festival has a PSA Films Category in addition to its competitive sections.

Festival Objectives:
Though film festivals have became a regular affair in most countries yet most of them cater only to selected audience as well as entertain the commercially successful film makers and related personalities. However, LCIFF intends to organize a festival that connects the film fans & movies goers with the world, especially the serious filmmaker & their associates so as to bring about greater understanding of the art of film making.

The two day festival will see people of various communities thronging the venue to enjoy films from countries including Germany, Italy, UK, USA, Russia, Bangladesh, Iran, Poland in English and the country's own languages. Indian regional language films like Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, and in south Indian language including Malayalam, Tamil, Telegu and Kanada will be showcased.

NEW RULES:
Apart from the REGULAR CATEGORIES of SUBMISSION that include FEATURE FILMS / SHORT FILMS / DOCUMENTARIES & MUSIC VIDEO, we at LCIFF have created a special new Category for WEB SERIES & STORY/SCRIPT.
