Identity and Location

Lakes Noir Film Festival (The Festival of the Lakes)
Lakes Noir Film Festival is a Competitive International Film Festival entirely dedicated to the genres of Thriller, Noir, and Crime (including Italian Giallo, Poliziottesco, and Spy Stories), with a strong emphasis on prestige and artistic quality.

Identity and Atmosphere: "Lakes Noir" in Luino
The event takes place in the stunning setting of Luino, overlooking the shores of Lake Maggiore. This exceptional location creates a unique atmosphere of contrast: the natural elegance of the lake and its historic vistas merge with the darkness and mystery of the stories on screen, offering filmmakers and the audience an open-air set of rare beauty.

The Cusco Film Festival is a cultural initiative that seeks to establish a space for gathering, exhibition, and dialogue centered on contemporary cinema. It stems from the need to reevaluate the art of filmmaking as a form of expression that reflects the identity, diversity, and living memory of our region and our country. The festival is held in the city of Cusco, the cultural heart of Peru, where images interact with the mountains, languages, and peoples who inhabit them. The festival brings together local, national, and international filmmakers in a celebration of cinema as both an art form and a tool for social transformation.

The Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.) is an annual international showcase dedicated to independent filmmakers. Founded in 2017 by THE BASEMENT, a nonprofit Cultural and Educational Organization (B.C.E.O.), the festival was created by creators, for creators — offering a platform where powerful stories can thrive regardless of budget.

In an industry dominated by studios and large‑scale productions, independent voices often struggle to be heard. A.C.H.I.F.F. exists to change that. We champion filmmakers with limited resources but strong artistic vision, giving them international visibility and meaningful recognition.

At A.C.H.I.F.F., every participant is acknowledged. Gold and Silver winners receive official certificates, while all filmmakers — [...]
