ABYCINE – FESTIVAL Y MERCADO DE CINE INDEPENDIENTE DE ALBACETE tiene entre sus objetivos fundamentales la difusión y promoción de películas y cortometrajes de categoría artística que, por una u otra razón, no disfrutan de la distribución regular en los circuitos convencionales de exhibición.
El Festival trata de cubrir, en la medida de lo posible, este importante vacío, siendo otro de sus objetivos, y no de menor importancia, presentar una selección de películas participantes que atiendan las nuevas corrientes del cine joven contemporáneo, el fenómeno “indie” en el cine español y la educación de la mirada en las nuevas generaciones de espectadores.
"Mal del cap" is the name of the International Festival of short films that mal of the cap, culture mal dita of Eivissa is carrying out with the aim of promoting the realization and diffusion of audiovisual works of difficult access in the commercial field. It is not just a form of exhibition of works by emerging creators, but also a competitive type festival in which the work and creativity of the works will be prioritized.
This festival aims to be a place of encounter and generation of links between the participants and the citizens of Eivissa with the aim of consolidating as a space with potential to forge meetings of exhibition and audiovisual creation.
We pretend that "Mal del cap" is a young and independent film festival based on experimentation and search to find new ways of narrating or expressing by means of the image, and for this we call a short film contest that encourages citizen participation and especially that of the younger population.
It is a Festival with two sections to contest. Official Section and Section of Asturian Short Films. Three prizes will be awarded (best short official section, best performance and best short Asturian). All the information is in the bases. Any author of any nationality can participate.
Doctors of the World in Spain (Metges del Món), Casino Prado and scannerFM in collaboration with Assemblea de Cooperació Per la Pau (ACPP) and Area Visual. and with the support of Agència Catalana de Cooperació al Desenvolupament (ACDD) are calling for entries for the 1st Femifilms Short Film Competition as part of Festival Dona, held annually in Sitges, Barcelona. Different prizes will be awarded to audiovisual creation of short films having a Gender and Human Rights-Based Approach (GHRBA).
This contest seeks to promote gender equality and support the project Enfoquem en Púrpura (Let's Focus on Purple). All short film entries should tell stories based on the phrase "Wow, what a privilege!", taken from the participative appraisal of women in the audiovisual industry Enfoquem en Púrpura (https://www.enfoquemenpurpura.org/es/diagnosi/).
The idea is to relate the terms 'privilege' and 'woman' in a conscious way to try tohighlight the different ways of being a woman.
Until 1980 Franco Piavoli had only produced short films, but in Silvano Agosti was enough to understand that his friend's talent abounded, so he convinced him to face a feature film. They chose an Arriflex 35 mm, and since Franco was what they call a skinny, Silvano made some lightening changes to the camera, cut it out on him, so to speak, and at the end of the job he renamed it "the piavolina". With the piavolina Franco did not only shoot "The blue planet" but many other successful films. It is just a small anecdote in the history of a friendship. We have therefore decided to dedicate this Award to Friendship and the values thatpermeate: trust, loyalty, respect, complicity, collaboration, not least, friendly affection. We do so at a dramatic moment in the history of humanity and we hope that this sentiment among the noblest, capable of uniting individuals, can equally extend to peoples.
It is a fortunate coincidence that the idea of establishing a directorial award here in Brescia was born just when the city of the three lakes is preparing to be, together with Bergamo, Capital of Culture 2023.
Since we love extravagance, we have established that the PCP Award (Piccolo Cinema Paradiso) must have two Presidents of the jury: Silvano Agosti and Franco Piavoli. If you have passion and talent in directing, we are waiting for you. And if you know other talents, don't leave them alone; we look forward to them too.

Wallachia International Film Festival is a highly professional, industry connected film festival, an exclusive independent grassroots film festival taking place in an exquisite location in Downtown Bucharest, only hundreds of meters away from Dracula’s former court in the grand Old Town!
We won multiple cinema prizes including important awards at major film festivals, like Cannes, Locarno, Montreal, London, Milan, Miami and Atlanta. Also, our advertising work received accolades at Clio, Effie, In-Awe, Lion Awards, ANDY Awards and Ad’Or, while working for companies like Coca-Cola, UNICEF, McDonalds, Renault, Yahoo! and Nestlé-Purina.
But there’s nothing we love more than indulging ourselves with cinematic candies from all over the world, under the autumn night sky of Wallachia. We will be arguing for a long time about which ones we feel are the best, and about the most promising unproduced screenplays.
Welcome to Wallachia, the Legendary Land of Voivode Vlad III Dracula, universally known as Vlad the Impaler. Born in 1431, Vlad was an authoritarian Principe, he revolutionized the affairs of Wallachia and refused to pay tribute to the sultan Mehmed II, resulting in a bloody war with the Ottomans. Multiple works containing stories about Vlad's cruelty were published soon after his assassination in 1475. In 1897, Bram Stoker downgrades Prince Vlad to Count Dracula, a blood-sucking vampire inspired by Wallachian ancient folklore. Loosely based on the book, Dracula (1931) casts immortal Bela Lugosi as the doomed romantic Count.
Just think cinétopia! Feel hundreds of years of mythic Wallachian history under the night sky! It’s a 100% natural film affair!
We watch all movies, we read all screenplays and we select exclusively based on artistic merits.

NewFilmmakers NY is New York's longest running year round Film Festival. Throughout it's twenty-six year run NewFilmmakers has provided a platform for first time and veteran filmmakers.
This Spring 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.
Over the past two years, 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.
