Austin stands as one of the great cities for independent movie making and filmmakers in the U.S.. Adding to this tradition, Austin can now boast an international short film festival.

The Austin Short Film Fest, will showcase the best short films and its filmmakers from around the world.

Международный кинофестиваль в Сантьяго SANFIC представляет собой киноплатформу образовательного, культурного, художественного и промышленного назначения, а также главный символ столицы Чили и всей страны.
DocsDF, Festival Internacional de Cine Documental de la Ciudad de México, es desde su fundación en 2006, un evento anual dedicado a promover y difundir el cine documental contemporáneo, estimular la formación de nuevos cineastas y documentalistas y promover la creación y el desarrollo de proyectos documentales en México e Iberoamérica.
18 ФЕСТИВАЛЬ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНОГО КИНО CINETORO
CINETORO задуман как междисциплинарная фестиваль-школа, посвященная кураторской практике и обучению кинематографистов, налаживанию связей между начинающими талантами и выдающимися отечественными и зарубежными художниками, а также продвижению анализа и критики в отношении производства и идей, лежащих в основе экспериментального кино и анимации.
Мы выступаем за кинематограф, в котором диалог поэзии и искусства выходит за рамки зрелищности, технической корректности, тем и форм повестки дня. Это несовершенное кино, которое, несмотря на то, что оно создано в ручном стиле, стремится восстановить сознание телесности, осмыслить, проблематизировать и подвергнуть сомнению построение образа и звука.
Кино, имеющее территориальный отпечаток, которое реконструируется, видоизменяется и заявляет о себе всему миру. Освоение территории, изменение взглядов на сельскую местность и предоставление сообществу пространства для присвоения знаний.
АБИССАЛЬНЫЕ ПЕСНОПЕНИЯ
То, что мы слышим, живо?
#SeeAndHearDifferently:
В темноте комнаты грохот далекого звука, зов, доносящийся из глубин океана, пронзительная песня, которая притягивает и связывает. Слушатель преодолевает задержку времени и прыгает в пустоту. Этот скачок таит в себе опасность и в то же время столкновение с неизвестным. В этом издании нас интересуют фильмы, которые прыгают, ищут в темноте, тени, тайне, спектрале, звуке, но также и в тишине.
Звук как движение позволяет раскрыть временное измерение изображения — неподвижного или движущегося. Звук может служить не просто семантической опорой изображений, а их структурной осью. Мы ищем фильмы, в которых исследуются различные взаимосвязи между изображением и звуком или рассматривается звук как пластический материал. Будь то концептуальный подход, при котором звук структурирует фильм, или когда голос играет важную роль не только в том, что сказано, но и в своих качествах: голос как пластический материал, как откровение и реверберация; или же музыка, вместо того чтобы просто сопровождать изображение, становится неотъемлемой частью самого фильма. Фильмы, формирующиеся с помощью звука.
Мы хотим погрузиться в глубины звука, чтобы с закрытыми глазами видеть и слушать, как мы плывем и погружаемся в воду, поскольку с теоретической или кураторской точки зрения в этих водах мало что исследовалось
Песнопения бездны — это призыв, и именно на этот призыв мы и хотим ответить в этом выпуске. Мы ищем анимационные, документальные, художественные, гибридные фильмы и эксперименты, отвечающие этим песнопениям и призыву увидеть и услышать по-другому.

ONLY FOR SPANISH FILMMAKERS // SOLO PARA CINEASTAS ESPAÑOLES.
Curtocircuíto was born on 2004. But since 2013, we performed structural, aesthetic and programming changes to redefine the festival, giving it a new identity that seeks dialogue with the most innovative trends of film language.
The in-competition Official Section is divided into the following subsections:
RADAR: Works of any genre and nationality. A varied selection of titles that set trends at a global level, whether in fiction or animation or the documentary genre. Experienced film- makers share this space with up-and-coming directors: short films that arrive at Curtocircuíto backed by multiple awards received in international festivals, and new works that Curtocircuíto wishes to promote.
EXPLORA: Works of any genre and nationality. A section that focuses on the search for new filmmaking signatures. Pieces that can hardly be catalogued in specific genres, and that dilute the traditional idea of cinema by exploring innovative avenues that are close to video art, documentary or avant-garde cinema.
The participation of a work in one section or another, in its case, will be a decision of the Organisation, regardless of the type of registration of such work.!
The Sky Film Festival is a project for an Audiovisual Festival (cinema, television and advertising) organized by MultiSignes producer with all sides of sky, air and flight as a theme.
During the 24th - 26th of June Castelló d'Empúries-Empuriabrava will be filled with audiovisual screenings and side activities (conferences, fair, air sports exhibitions, children workshops...) with the themes of sky, air and flight as the central concept. In short, the intention is to create an international meeting point, both for specialists and those interested on these subjects.
Alt Empordà, and specially Castelló d'Empúries, are reference sites in the world of sky and aerial leisure and sports. Since the year 2012, Empuriabrava hosts the "Windoor real fly" wind tunnel, one of the biggest free fall simulators in Europe and the first that was installed in Spain. Also the Parachuting Centre SkyDive Empuriava, which has been operating since 1985.
The nature will be one of the festival's highlights, given that birds are the kings of the sky and the air, and hence the importance of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, a protected wetland zone for its rich ecosystem. We must not forget the tramuntana north wind, which creates a unique climate and is one of our country's distinguishing features.
