Welcome to our Winter Season that runs Monthly from January thru March 2025.
NewFilmmakers NY is New York's longest running year round Film Festival. Throughout it's twenty-eight year run NewFilmmakers has provided a platform for first time and veteran filmmakers.
We have taken an exciting new direction with NewFilmmakers called NewFilmmakersPlus which will move our festival into the digital age and allow us to reach international audiences.
While theaters have been closed, our online audiences have greatly exceeded those in theaters. With NewFilmmakers Plus we have added the missing audience participation to our online screenings.
Now filmmakers, cast, and crew as well as audience members can create interactive video screening rooms while watching a film. Just by pushing the START A GROUPVIEW button to the right of the film they can invite up to six people to talk about the film in a video conference. It’s almost like watching side-by-side in real life — without having to share your popcorn.
In addition our films will now be available for two weeks and screenable any time of the day instead of only one night. This allows more people to see our films and makes it easier to set up a screening event with friends and colleagues. As requested we are switching to filmmaker hosted files utilizing unlisted YouTube links which will eliminate the need to transcode and to send us large files as well as giving filmmakers control over their film.
In today’s world online screenings give filmmakers worldwide audiences instead of limited local ones. With NewFilmmakers Plus filmmakers not only reach worldwide audiences but can interact with them as they would at a traditional theater.
The Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation awards this prize to an audiovisual project, with the winning entry receiving 5000 euros to support the production of the finished work.
The prize aims to promote education, discussion and analysis of bioethical issues with a social impact, through work aimed at a general audience.

VinartFest is a multidisciplinary art event around the culture of wine and its symbolism that will celebrate its fourth edition in May 2023. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the first and second editions were celebrated online, even though the festival was created as a presential event to take place in the hamlet of Las Ventas de Alcolea, between Albacete and Cuenca province.
VinartFest wants to be a meeting point for diverse artistic expressions, gathered around the same common thread: the creative and evocative power of wine and its culture.
The Festival is articulated around a dual objective: to showcase the cultural riches that the wine universe possesses, as well as to empower a rural area that has become depopulated and is a testimony to the “emptied Spain”. The festival is an initiative of the non-profit association, Asociación Cultural de Las Ventas de Alcolea.
As part of the event, la Asociación Cultural de las Ventas de Alcolea, has convened the IV Contest of Micro-Rrelato, Photography and Short Films VinartFest 2023, which will join the rest of the activities that will be scheduled within the framework of the Festival.
Since 2013, the International Film Festival for Human Rights Colombia offers attendees an audiovisual, cultural and academic program that contributes to the formation of audiences, the strengthening of film and cultural industries, the creation of spaces for dialogue around life, reconciliation, the promotion and defense of human rights, and the construction of ideas for peace.
The Festival is the ideal setting for the film community of Colombia and the world that bets on audiovisual narration with a focus on human rights, which is why it becomes the main platform for the promotion, circulation, distribution and exhibition of audiovisual works whose demand is limited due to their non-commercial subject matter.
The Festival is being held simultaneously in the cities of Barranquilla, Medellin, Cali, Bogota, Soacha, Cartagena, Manizales, Pereira and Villavicencio, and in about 10 municipalities in the country, organized by Fundación Impulsos.
The idea of the Festival, born like all good ideas, in a garage ...
One cold night of August 2019, inside the Nazario´s Garage, three friends were chatting about what they could contribute to make the Tera Valley area attractive, which suffered a great depopulation. Since then, his enthusiasm and effort have turned into reality the idea that arose that night in that mysterious garage ...
SECINDI Inclusive Film Festival and Diversity
The objective of SECINDI with this Short Film Competition, included in the Inclusive Film and Diversity Festival, is to encourage and reward the best national and international short films to give visibility to films whose theme is linked in some way with functional diversity and inclusion to make them accessible to all people.
Backed by the prestigious University of Zulia, we are the longest-running short film festival in Venezuela, organised by the Cine Club Universitario de Maracaibo since 1981, in turn the first to be established in the country, in 1962, prior to the creation of the National Film Archive of Venezuela (1966).
The name of the festival was chosen because of the historical importance of the pioneer Manuel Trujillo Durán for the development of the production and diffusion of cinema in Venezuela, who only 13 months after the projections made by the Lumière brothers in Paris in December 1895, made possible the exhibition on 28 January 1897 at the Baralt Theatre in Maracaibo, of two of his films, an event recognised as the first cinematographic projections in the country.
HISTORY:
The origins of the FMTFD date back to the project drawn up by the professors of the University of Zulia: Gabriel Arriechi, Fernando Perdomo and Ricardo Ball, who with the unconditional support of Sergio Antillano, Rosa María Salom and Rafael Araujo organised the first edition, which took place from 28 to 31 January 1981 in various cultural spaces in Maracaibo.
TODAY:
Since its 15th edition in 2020, the festival has opened its doors to works and filmmakers from all over the world.
Established in 1985, the Warsaw Film Festival joined in 2009 the elite group of events recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (www.fiapf.org) as international non-specialised film festivals - next to Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Locarno, San Sebastian, Karlovy Vary, Tokyo, Mar del Plata, Shanghai, Cairo, Fajr, Goa, and Tallinn.
The WFF differs from other festivals in its programme, just as Warsaw differs from other cities. Selecting the films, we always remember about our audience - native Varsovians, those working or studying in Warsaw, and those in town for a short while, for instance only for the Festival.
We do our best to make sure that our audiences get to know the latest and most interesting trends in world cinema as soon as possible. In this way, WFF audiences - usually as the first people in Poland - could discover American independent cinema as well as Asian, Latin American, Iranian, Russian and Romanian cinema. Some of the most amazing directors, like Michael Haneke, Cristian Mungiu, Paweł Pawlikowski, Ari Folman, Ashgar Farhadi, Lenny Abrahamson and hundreds of others, had usually been guests of the WFF before they reached the top.
We have been expanding the professional part of the WFF for over fifteen years. We realize that film festivals are part of the giant mechanism that is the global film industry. We do our best to make sure that the world takes note of Polish films, that they get screened at leading festivals, that they find their way into international distribution.
We started off modestly, in 2000, with screenings of new Polish projects for barely a dozen foreign guests. Five years later, we held the CentEast Market for the first time: a meeting place for professionals interested in films from Eastern Europe, described by The Hollywood Reporter as “the go-to event”. From 2009 till 2016, together with our Russian partner TVINDIE we have been presenting - in Warsaw and Moscow - films that are still works-in-progress but in which we want to interest sales agents and distributors. Similar presentations we organised at the Beijing Film Market from 2013-2016, with our Chinese partner Film Factory, under the name China-Eastern Europe Film Promotion Project.
The festival will take place in Bucharest and will be multiplied in 18 county residences in Romania. Thus, for the first edition, for 3 days, the festival wants to capture the public’s attention by screening 400 animated shorts.
The “ABIFF” International Film Festival has as its defining theme the relationship between majority and ethnic minorities.
Cortometrical Film Fest is an International Short Film Festival made by young filmmakers, wants for cinematographic culture, short films in particular, juvenil artistic creation and new audiovisual trends to come together.
Cortometrical Film Fest takes a stand for artistic creation and becomes a cinematographic window to the world, where we meet the different realities that surround us.
Cortometrical Film Fest is organized by the Councilorship of Youth and “Thesseo Estudio Creativo”.
The "Kursaal Film Festival San Sebastián" (KFFSS) is an international short film festival promoted by the Kursaal Kino Cultural Association (A2K). The format of the festival is hybrid with an online VOD exhibition (streaming) and projection of the award-winning films (screening).
The KFFSS closed its third 2023 edition with a great success of participation from 75 countries and 12,358 viewers.
For the new 2024 edition we are going to increase the number of thematic sections such as SCIFI, HORROR, COMEDY, CHILDRENS, SPORTS, MUSIC, DANCE, CULINARY and HHRR.
To participate in the different sections, it is not necessary to make different registrations, since it is the festival itself that makes the classification by theme.
Como al igual que en los veintidós años que nos preceden, el XXIV Certamen de Cortometrajes del C.M.U. Santa María de Europa es una iniciativa que pretende apoyar la producción de cortometrajes de estudiantes universitarios e incentivar el desarrollo profesional de los mismos.
