The festival is a showcase of films in all genres by young emerging filmmakers.The cultural capital of India hosts numerous film festivals every year. Our team has taken into account the features of most film festivals. To present something new, we decided to place our primary focus on independent underknown filmmaking from all over the world. Besides, we realize that the boundaries of cinema have expanded significantly over the past two decades due to the digital "revolution.” Nowadays, one can shoot films with a smartphone, without using special equipment or being a professional filmmaker. Therefore, the cinema has become far more expressive and entered a new era of its development, uncovering all shades of life, all colours of culture and subcultures. We believe that the programme of Venus Brightest Star Film Festival gives a free hand to any way of artistic expression.
We welcome any experimental ways that create new film languages evolving the cinema!

VinartFest is a multidisciplinary art event around the culture of wine and its symbolism that will celebrate its fourth edition in May 2023. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the first and second editions were celebrated online, even though the festival was created as a presential event to take place in the hamlet of Las Ventas de Alcolea, between Albacete and Cuenca province.
VinartFest wants to be a meeting point for diverse artistic expressions, gathered around the same common thread: the creative and evocative power of wine and its culture.
The Festival is articulated around a dual objective: to showcase the cultural riches that the wine universe possesses, as well as to empower a rural area that has become depopulated and is a testimony to the “emptied Spain”. The festival is an initiative of the non-profit association, Asociación Cultural de Las Ventas de Alcolea.
As part of the event, la Asociación Cultural de las Ventas de Alcolea, has convened the IV Contest of Micro-Rrelato, Photography and Short Films VinartFest 2023, which will join the rest of the activities that will be scheduled within the framework of the Festival.

The phenomenon of Russian civilization, immeasurable by the "common yardstick", by the end of the first quarter of the 21st century regains its relevance - both in the world and in Russia.
The word "Russian" in the understanding of the organizers of the film festival does not define nationality, but civilizational and ideological belonging - to the multinational Russian world.
A Russian person differs from a "Western" person. A Russian person can commit acts illogical and "unprofitable" - from the point of view of representatives of Western civilization: to the detriment of himself, but in the name of justice. After all, for a Russian person - if in good conscience and fairness, then this is both logical and beneficial.
Now, when the whole world is faced with global challenges - technological, social, economic, spiritual and ideological - we are again trying to find a source of strength in those intangible values that have given and still give the Russian world an advantage over the centuries.
Experience of holding the Russian Film Festival in 2017-2020. discovered a real interest of filmmakers from the regions of Russia and from other countries in comprehending the inexhaustible theme of the "mysterious Russian soul". This is especially true for young representatives of auteur cinema in Russia, for whom the Russian Film Festival has become a meeting place both with colleagues and with grateful moviegoers.
The Russian Film Festival is becoming that public creative space where there is a lively process of forming a community of like-minded people who consciously reflect in their work the spiritual and moral values of Russian civilization.

The SITGES - International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia is a specialized, competitive fantastic genre Festival in accordance with the regulations established by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations). The Festival has also been declared a “Qualified Festival” by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® in the United States. This means that those shorts winning the awards for “Best Short Film” in the Official Fantàstic Selection and “Best Short Film” in the Anima’t category will automatically be taken into consideration by the Hollywood Academy Awards® selection committee.
The first edition of the old Festival, held biennially, was held in Badalona in 1969. The Amateur Film Section of the Museum of Badalona organised that international festival under the name Badalona Amateur Film World Event and also held other competitions such as Imágenes (for members of the organisation), the National Filmed Song Festival (covering Spain) and the Religious and Human Values Film Event (covering Spain). The organisation maintained cooperation with the main amateur film festivals in Catalonia, such as those held in Barcelona (Union of Amateur Film-makers, the Catalan Ramblers’ Centre and the Photographic Group) and others from Figueres, Terrassa, Valls, Mataró and Manresa, among others.
These festivals showed films in 8 mm, super 8, single 8 and 16 mm, highlighting works by the amateur film-makers Tomás Mallol, Rafael Marcó, Manuel Esparbé, Enrique Menal, Toni Esparbé, Jan Baca, Toni Garriga, Tomás Freixas, Arnal Licer, José Parra, Enrique Montón y Agustín and Rafael Argelich, among others.
At the end of the eighties, a new association was set up under the name Independent Filmmakers of Badalona, which took charge of the new Festival –the Badalona International Film and Video Festival– until the end of the nineties.
In 2001, Badalona City Council and Badalona Comunicació, S.A., with the support of long-standing members of the festival, organised the 27th festival, under the new name FILMETS Badalona Film Festival. That year, 400 short films were entered and there were 2,000 spectators and the new festival became a starting point and new reference for short film festivals in Catalonia.
Since then, the FILMETS Badalona Film Festival has not only become a reference for the most popular and important international film festivals, but also a meeting point for film-makers and directors from around the world.
Crossover Film Fest is a unique festival where we go further than a movie selection, here we make you live the movies.
