SANTO DOMINGO GLOBAL FILM FESTIVAL (FCGSD)

Logo of SANTO DOMINGO GLOBAL FILM FESTIVAL (FCGSD)

Since its first edition, the Santo Domingo Global Film Festival (FCGSD) has taken firm steps to grow both nationally and internationally while remaining true to its mission. The festival aims to offer Dominicans, as well as all visitors to the country during the event, the opportunity to access the unique perspective that cinema provides on "global issues" through "personal stories." In doing so, it seeks to foster learning and adaptation in a world driven by knowledge and globalization.

The festival’s mission remains to bring the best international narrative and documentary films to a diverse audience, advancing the understanding of the global challenges we face. Beyond this, it has contributed—whether significantly or modestly—to enhancing cinematic culture in the Dominican [...]

The One Shot Terrassa City of Film is a film festival that takes back the old Sequence Shot Contest organised in Terrassa between 2004 and 2012. It came last year again, and we're following the success. So this is the 11th Edition of the festival.

The particularity of this festival is that ONLY ACCEPTS ONE SHOT FILMS. What does it mean? As is well known, is about telling a story - at least 3 minutes long - in just a single shot, that is: no cutting or image editing.

In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.

The festival will take place during the week from November 27th to 29rd 2025.

XXVI MOSTRA INTERNACIONAL DE CURTAMETRAXES VILA DE NOIA

The XXVI Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia extends the submission deadline and publishes the official regulations for this year’s edition.
The Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia announces the extension of the short film submission deadline until 2:00 p.m. on September 15, 2025.
This decision was made after considering the feedback received from several distributors, directors, and film industry professionals regarding the regulations published on June 15. Those rules introduced substantial changes compared to previous editions, and given that they were implemented late in the year, they risked limiting the participation of many filmmakers who usually adapt their works to the traditional [...]

We have started this LGBTQ+ & Independent Film Festival for cinema lovers. This film festival will be a celebration of creativity and ideas. After a successful completion of the first edition of the festival, we are now ready for the second edition.

We hope that this festival will be a platform for these independent film makers and their wonderful stories.
