Presentism is a philosophy of time that states nothing in the past or future exists. The only reality is the present moment, which is redefined. A moment is no longer like the blade of a knife, gone the instant it is felt. Rather, it is an extended duration of conscious experience. Reality is also redefined. The world is no longer characterized as a set of historic and anticipated facts, as in “once and for all.” The presentist defines reality as a world that relies on constant survey. And when events happen in multiple places simultaneously, they are part of the same reality.
We seek short films and video works (no more than 10 minutes) from filmmakers and artists that explore these ideas. How do we experience the present? What events today constitute a sense of the present? What activities constitute a constant survey of facts and ideas? How is the concept of presentism expanded globally in the era of live data? How does the moving image define a duration of extended consciousness? In what ways might the human condition change if removed from the past and the future? All genres will be accepted including documentary, narrative, animation and experimental.
FOLLOWING REVIEW AND SELECTION, FILMMAKERS WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL IF THEIR FILM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.
ACCEPTED FILMS ARE DUE AT THE GALLERY NO LATER THAN AUGUST 1ST.
Film Front moves frontiers: open call for motion graphics exhibition
Film Front, international short film festival, due to be held from 25th to 28th October in the cultural centre of Novi Sad, has decided to include motion graphics exhibition in this year’s festival’s program. Artists can submit their animations, presentations, animated GIFs, animated elements and other pieces that belong to the category of motion graphics.
Even though motion graphics are rather a fine arts category, they are tightly connected to the moving images art. That is why Film Fronts wants to honour these artworks that more than often do not find their way to the film festivals, but whose aesthetic value overcomes their usually determined functional purpose.

Von CINESPACIO wollen wir diese Ausgabe des Festivals auf jene Werke konzentrieren, die sich auf die Migrationsbedingungen und ihre Beziehung zu audiovisuellen Produktionsformen konzentriert haben. In einer Welt, in der Grenzen ständig gebaut werden und imaginäre Linien gezogen werden, um Identitäten zu verletzen - und sie zu schaffen -, ist es notwendig, dass der audiovisuelle Sektor über seine Rolle in den Modi der Umsetzung und in den dargestellten Themen nachdenkt.
Wir schlagen vor, die Grenze als einen Raum zu interpretieren, in dem transnationale Identitäten geboren und in Konflikte geraten; ein Raum, in dem neue Netzwerke und emotionale Gemeinschaften entstehen und sich in ständiger Bewegung befinden; ein Raum, in dem sie sich den Herausforderungen der individuellen Anerkennung und der Zugehörigkeit der Gemeinschaft stellen. Wenn die Grenze das ist, was wir sind, Grenzen zu überschreiten, dann ist die Herausforderung, jemand anderes zu sein und zu wissen, wie jemand anderes durch Annäherung und Berührung zu sein, wobei man bedenkt, dass der Inhalt an den Grenzen, von außen berührt wird, nicht wieder der gleiche sein wird.
Das Internationale Filmfestival der Autonomen Universität Baja California fördert den Austausch von Erfahrungen im Bereich der audiovisuellen Produktion sowie den Wissensaufbau rund um das kinematografische Phänomen.
SEMBRANDO CINE INTERNATIONALES FILMFESTIVAL
XII AUSGABE: Unseren Schatten erkennen
Unser Schatten kann ein echtes Problem sein.
Es ist die Seite unserer Menschlichkeit, die wir lieber verborgen halten und die uns dazu bringt, fragwürdig zu handeln.
Dieser Schatten hat uns zum Teil dazu veranlasst, schreckliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt zu haben.
Entwaldung, Ölverschmutzungen, Verschmutzung von Böden und Meeren, Ausrottung von Arten, Verletzung indigener Rechte und Ermordung von Umweltschützern.
Dieser individuelle und kollektive Schatten wird von den großen Städten auf unsere Ökosysteme projiziert und steht unter dem Schutz staatlicher Legalität und privater Investitionen zugunsten von „Fortschritt und Industrialisierung“.
In Zeiten, in denen das Ungleichgewicht, das wir in der Umwelt verursacht haben, wie Klimakatastrophen und Veruntreuungen durch die Natur auf uns zurückkommt, liegt es an uns, es zu wagen, auf diesen Schatten zurückzublicken.
Wir haben die Verantwortung, die Auswirkungen zu verstehen, diejenigen aufzuzeigen, die sie vorhersagen, und Vorschriften zu fordern, um diejenigen zu schützen, die davon betroffen sind.
Sie sagen, dass der erste Schritt zur Lösung eines Problems darin besteht, es zu identifizieren, und heute versuchen wir mit Hilfe des Kinos, unser Handeln anzuerkennen und das Fortschreiten der Folgen für unsere einzigartige natürliche Umwelt zu verhindern.
UMWELTFILMFESTIVAL SEMBRANDO CINE — XII AUSGABE
UNSEREN SCHATTEN ERKENNEN
Das Bogota International Documentary Film Festival (MIDBO), organisiert von der kolumbianischen Dokumentarfilmmachergilde ALADOS, ist eine auf Sachfilme spezialisierte Veranstaltung, die sich in den letzten 26 Jahren in Kolumbien und Lateinamerika als grundlegender Ort der Ausstellung, des Dialogs und des Denkens rund um audiovisuelle Sachliteratur etabliert hat.
In Bezug auf die 27 MIDBO möchten wir lokale und iberoamerikanische Filmemacher und Produzenten einladen, ihre audiovisuellen Werke für unseren Filmaufruf 2025 einzureichen und an den verschiedenen Formations- und Diskussionsräumen teilzunehmen, die während des gesamten Festivals virtuell und vor Ort stattfinden werden.
27 MIDBO
In diesem Jahr findet die 27. Ausgabe von MIDBO vom 29. Oktober bis 7. November in Bogotá, Kolumbien, statt. Im Laufe des Jahres wird MIDBO mehrere Filme in verschiedenen Regionen des Landes zeigen und den MIDBO-ALADOS-Dienstags-Slot in verschiedenen Kinos der Alliierten anbieten.
Nach 26 Ausgaben arbeitet MIDBO weiter daran, eine Veranstaltung auszurichten, die den Glauben und das Vertrauen in die Reflexion über das Dokumentarfilmschaffen und die vielfältigen Ansätze zur Darstellung der Realität fördert. Unser Hauptinteresse liegt in der Erforschung der unzähligen Möglichkeiten, die Welt einzufangen. Wir setzen uns dafür ein, die Komplexität einer Realität, die uns übertrifft, zu enträtseln, und bemühen uns jedes Jahr, einen idealen Raum für die kollektive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Dokumentarfilmschaffen zu schaffen.
Im Jahr 2025 setzen wir uns weiterhin dafür ein, Kreativität zu fördern und die Bemühungen von Filmemachern anzuerkennen. Daher werden wir zwei Wettbewerbssektionen anbieten: eine nationale und eine iberoamerikanische. In diesen Sektionen werden wir Preise für den besten nationalen Dokumentarfilm, der sowohl Kurz- als auch Langfilme umfasst, sowie für den besten iberoamerikanischen Dokumentarfilm vergeben, der sich auf Filme mit einer Länge von über 60 Minuten konzentriert, die in Iberoamerika produziert wurden. Die Jury für jeden Wettbewerb wird einen Monat vor der Veranstaltung bekannt gegeben und besteht aus drei (3) Künstlern, Filmemachern, Schriftstellern, Kritikern oder Kulturmanagern aus Kolumbien und der ganzen Welt.
HEMOGLOZINE ist eine kulturelle Veranstaltung, die auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene gestärkt wird. Ein Filmfestival, das sich auf die Genres mit größerem Einfluss und Anhänger in der ganzen Welt konzentriert, Horror, Science-Fiction und Fantasy-Genre.
Kurz gesagt, HEMOGLOZINE besteht aus:
-Ein internationaler Wettbewerb, wo neue Werke von Horror und Fantasie präsentieren.
-Eine große Anzahl von parallelen Aktivitäten mit dem Genre.
A Femme International Film Festival is a premier festival that focuses on platforming women filmmakers “by women, for everyone”. Our Festival was created in 2005, when it became apparent that there was a need to enhance women behind the camera as Directors, Producers, and Writers. We were the first in Los Angeles to host such an event and film festival empowering women. All those that followed are just duplicates of the movement we started over a decade ago.
Through our Partners and Sponsors we have provided one-one-one meetings with our filmmakers or helped secure financing. CBS Entertainment Diversity Department and Sony Entertainment met with a selected group of our filmmakers with the goal to offer potential employment and/or placement as a director or writer under their diversity department. It is through our direct efforts that these opportunities are being secured for our LA Femme Int. Film Festival Filmmakers.
As LA Femme moves into the next few years, it plans to expand its platform so that more women in the industry and from around the world can have the benefit of taking their film to the next level through increased distribution outlets, more key positions in the entertainment industry and more recognition as artistic creators emerging as leaders in the industry.
Our goal is to create more such opportunities through exemplary programming, networking, and panel events. A classic professional atmosphere will create a sense of ‘opportunity’ for participants. LA Femme International Film Festival is “By Women for Everyone.”
Objectives:
To continually showcase and celebrate commercially viable films Written, Directed, or Produced by women.
To opening a pathway for women entering the industry by encouraging mentor-ship and artistic sharing between those women established in the field and those just beginning.
To Platform new emerging talent and support established women in cross-over roles.
To assist in distributing the feature films that are platformed in our festival with domestic theatrical releases and home video distribution.
Mission:
La Femme International Film Festival will support and nurture the artistic entertainment productions of women for the benefit of distribution to an international and domestic audience.
Emphasis:
»Our emphasis is on providing a complete specialized festival based on showcasing and celebrating commercially successful films written, directed, or produced by women and creating a system of access for those new to the industry directly to established women industry professionals.
»To assist in distribution of these films
»To mentor other women into positions of power in the independent and big budget, studio entertainment community.
Summary:
LA Femme Film Festival is more than a festival it is an emergence of artistic, professional women who make a difference in the entertainment community by creating productions that speak to a world wide audience. We were the first festival of its kind in Beverly Hills to not only platform existing films and artists but also distribute and mentor such films and the woman artists who created them.
Thank you for considering our festival for your film!

Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee
25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World
“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle
“Sundance may have sold out, but SF IndieFest keeps it real” – Annie Lo, Flavorpill
“While the Bay Area is flush with festivals, this one remains an under-the-radar standout.” – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
“The San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the Bay Area’s version of Slamdance, provides a showcase for edgy cinematic work — and a great excuse to do some serious partying.” – David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
"The movie business is in a perennial state of constant tension between ambition and collaboration, joyful inventiveness and jaw-dropping paydays. This roiling undercurrent, usually invisible to the public, gushes to the surface in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony. There is an antidote, however, to Hollywood’s annual backslapathon: SF IndieFest. The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a beacon to anybody excited by the basic impulse of making movies. In its heart of hearts, IndieFest is a celebration of the minor miracle of finishing a film and getting it up on a screen in front of a live audience." - Michael Fox, KQED
“For many independent filmmakers, festivals such as SF Indiefest—aka the San Francisco Independent Film Festival–are the only way to bring their works before an audience. For filmgoers, SF Indiefest is the place to see original cinematic works created by directors who want to tell edgy stories which come from their hearts and souls. While some have bemoaned the death of cinema, the curators and filmmakers at SF Indiefest are keeping the craft of film alive.” – David Elijah Nahmod, SF SOUNDS
“SF IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program and take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece, but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise.” -Michael Fox, KQED

FILMMAKER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
"Hey Jeff: Just want to shoot you a quick note of thanks on hosting us at IndieFest and giving us our World Premiere. We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the fest and in SF; it's a great vibe and the diversity of features and shorts in the program made for a really exciting and energized atmosphere. "- Max Gardner, Go/Don't Go
"Festivals bring unexpected benefits. Festivals are essential for brand creation. Premiering at Tribeca was enough to convince people to at least listen to me, but surprisingly it was the San Francisco Indie Fest that was just as crucial for our theatrical release. Our press from this festival helped convince the Red Vic to book us in April (I thank the amazing S.F. publicist Karen Larsen for convincing me of this in advance). We also incorporated festivals into our broader theatrical release, and while we did not claim them as cities in our 17-city count, they helped give us something to crow about."

"I've got to tell you that Indiefest was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I tell all filmmakers - and festival organizer friends of mine - how you run your fest and how you run each film twice. Every single time people look at me with shocked disbelief. Truly, Bonnie and I loved being a part of the event.
Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"
