The short films taking part in the competition must necessarily tackle a social topic, since the Festival aims at raising awareness on contemporary issues such as social exclusion, migration, gender violence, unemployment, fundamental rights, etc. Any short film which shows these or other social issues will be accepted in the Festival, notwithstanding the main topic of the short films may not have a particularly social nature.

Поскольку Международный фестиваль короткометражных фильмов «Сьюдад-де-Сория» всегда рассматривает короткометражные фильмы в столице и ценит их как важнейшее средство распространения культуры, наша цель — продвигать их как средство аудиовизуального самовыражения, способствуя признанию и распространению. Этот формат должен стать неотъемлемой частью кинематографа.
Some call it the “Lady Tickler,” “Lip Spinach,” or even, the “Cookie Duster.” Formally, it is known simply as “The Moustache.” In all of its forms it represents a man’s individuality and inner strength. Whether a full, furry and lustrous lip warmer or a smooth, sleek line of suave sophistication weaving it’s way across a dude’s upper lip, a man’s Moustache is an indication of his robust heart and the very soul of his being.
As part of the annual Facial Hair Fest—a celebration of facial hair in Portland, Maine—we are now looking for submissions for the International Moustache Film Festival (IMFF). Films will be screened in several venues throughout the week of March 21 through March 28, 2015,.
The Facial Hair Fest features all sorts of delightfully hairy good times, including the 8th annual Stache Pag (a moustache pageant), the Facial Hair Farmers Market, the Can-Am Beard and Moustache Competition, and of course, the IMFF. A number of IMFF screening blocks will be held, each dedicated to a different kind of stache. And despite the official name of the festival, beards are welcome. They are, after all, the less refined cousin to the moustache.
Films will be selected based on two criteria. First, we want good films. Second, we want films that highlight conspicuous, outstanding, and awesome facial hair. It's that simple.
Past years have seen the IMFF covered in the global press, including: Movie|Line, EW.com, The Guardian, BBC, Reuters, The Huffington Post, Boston.com, Yahoo.com, The Times of India, Buenos Aires Herald, DownEast Magazine, The Tribune, American Mustache Institute, The Beard Club and Stuff.Co.NZ.
Have a main character with a nice stache? Send us your film.
A documentary about hippies with beards? That's good to.
A film about Salvador Dali or Jesus? Totally qualifies.
A film about any of the following:
Hippies. Prophets. Musicians. Mountain Men. Cops. Robbers. Firemen. Old Fashioned Strong Men. Cowboys. NFL Quarterbacks. Private Investigators. Scientists. Political Leaders. Pirates. Canadians. Wizards. Dwarves. Dads. Cavemen. You. Your friends. Your enemies.
So send us some films, and please consider attending the International Moustache Film Festival!
The Unreal Film Festival is an annual film competition held in September in Memphis, TN. The festival accepts both short and feature length films from all over the world, but only films that fall under the horror, sci-fi, and/or fantasy film genres.
The year 2015 by can be easily termed as the ‘year of intolerance ‘in Indian socio-political and cultural milieu. This was coming all the way from the time the right wing party was voted to rule the country. It began with re-writing Indian history and text books for schools, colleges and academic institutions, running down Gandhiji, the architect of free India as also the free thinkers, eliminating rationalist, outspoken intellectuals and scholars, isolating artists and film makers, taking control of Central Board of Film Certification by forcing the eminent men and women constituted that body to resign en-mass. The right wing people have taken charge of all public art and cultural organizations.
People from the minority communities have been lynched and killed for suspecting to have eaten beef. Cow slaughter has been banned in states like Maharashtra taking away food from the tables of minority communities as well as daliths and increasing the burden on the farmers already bending backward with debt and are committing suicide. Those who protested the beef ban have been beaten up in Kashmir, in Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi. When the public very clearly understood that the general response of the government to these problems were dismissive as something that is done by antisocial elements people began to take action. The prominent scholars, writers, poets, actors, film makers and theatre personalities started returning the awards they received from the government. There were protests across the country, from politicians and eminent citizens.
Another aspect of this intolerance is manifested in witch hunting NGOs like Green Peace for very prominently taking up environmental issues and challenging the implementation of economic projects without proper environmental impact assessment. Those NGOs on the hit list of the government is harassed in every possible ways including cancelling their FCRA numbers and freezing their accounts. Fortunately so far the justice system was very fair in their judgments which has given much relief to the NGOs under the government scanner. Generally NGOs these days are seen by the politicians as people ‘against development’.
These very arrogant postures of the government was downsized by the people of India through democratic resurgence. First they lost a very high pitched assembly election in Delhi to Aam Admi Party and later in another high pitched assembly election in Bihar the right wing lost to an alliance of democratic forces represented by Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar the local leaders. In all these instances the media was very pro-establishment. Were they too scared to investigate issues and inform the public?! While we hope that the people will elect democratic and secular parties in the Assembly elections happening now in April/May 2016,we need to nurture grass root level democratic practices which is one of the major objective of the festival. Whatever work we are engaged in now is from a very diminished public sphere. We do not know what the future holds for us but for now we belong to the breed of marginal citizens of this country.
As for our experience in this specific field is concerned, Bangalore Film Society was the South India coordinator of Tri-continental Film Festival "Human Rights in Frames from 2007 to 2009 organised by an NGO called Breakthrough. An average 5000 to 6000 people used to attend this festival in Bangalore in three days and the event had become very popular. Apart from this, we used to take these films to academic institutions as well as film societies in all South Indian States. However, the tricontinental film festival closed after 2009 and at present to the best of my knowledge we don't have a human rights film festival of that magnitude.
In the present Indian context, Bangalore Film Society wish to start an International Human Rights Traveling film festival from December 7th to 10th or from 9th to the 12th 2016 (depending on the availability of the auditorium) and organise a conference on freedom of speech and the right to dissent. The films selected will address major international human rights concerns such as refugees, lgbt sexuality, boarders, women, socio-political conflict, communal conflicts, child labour/abuse and so on The emphasis on the impact it should create. Once the festival is over these films will be circulated for screenings in educational, media institutions and film societies across India.
9-й ежегодный Международный кинофестиваль в Тояме состоится в июне 2020 года в префектуре Тояма. В прошлом году у нас был такой большой успех, что мы рады вновь поделиться видениями кинематографистов со всего мира с этой небольшой общиной. Материалы будут открыты до 15 мая 2020 года.
Второй ежегодный Международный кинофестиваль в Тояме состоялся в сельской префектуре Тояма, Япония. Начав несколько учителей английского языка в этом районе, мы надеялись достичь многих людей, не только в Японии, но и во всем мире. И мы, конечно, сделали. Фестиваль имел огромный успех с более чем 100 представлений из 30 разных стран. Это шаг от всего 10 заявок в первый год. Мы надеемся продолжить эту работу в предстоящем году на благо Японии.
Первый Международный кинофестиваль в Тояме проходил в небольшой комнате внутри торгового центра, вместимостью около 70 человек. В следующем году мероприятие было проведено в городе Тояма на местной независимой площадке Bodegas-Mambo, где около 80-100 гостей приезжают посмотреть фильмы. В этом году мы надеемся еще больше расшириться и предоставить еще большую площадку для участников и киносообщества в Японии.
В этом году мы связались с остальным миром и предлагаем всем желающим создать короткометражные фильмы на благо благотворительности и создать кинокультуру в префектуре Тояма.
Примечание. Из-за ограниченности времени мы не можем принимать фильмы продолжительностью более 10 минут. Однако любой жанр короткометражного кино будет рассматриваться на выставке.

Ars Independent Festival 2019 will be the 9th multimedia festival of film, animation, video games and music videos. The upcoming edition will take place in Katowice, between the 24th and 29th of September 2019.
The festival is searching for what’s cool in young, debuting, contemporary audio-visual culture. It’s not afraid to watch videos with 27 views on YouTube, it’s missing the “least popular” sorting option on itch.io and considers Festival Scope Pro decidedly “too mainstream”.
The heart of the festival are four international competitions, in which the audience decides about the awarding of prizes. The Black Horse of Film (feature films from all over the world) and the Black Horse of Animation (short features) present the cinematographic debuts by directors from the entire world, often as their Polish premieres. The Black Horse of Video Games and the Black Horse of Music Video are devoted to new games and music videos.
Additionally, every year festivalgoers are treated to: screenings of films, animations and music videos, video game exhibitions, virtual reality and new technologies, discussion panels and Q&As with artists, concerts, live acts and musical afterparties.
In previous years, the festival hosted a variety of artists from all over the world, including Béla Tarr, Nina Menkes, Phil Mulloy, Laila Pakalnina, Bruce LaBruce, Tami Tamaki, Stephen „M.O.O.N.” Gilarde, Jakuba Dvorský, Mariola Brillowska, Piotr Dumała, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Bodo Kox, Łukasz Barczyk, Sos Sosowski, Wiktor Stribog and Władysław Komendarek.
The event is organized by the culture institution Katowice the City of Gardens and the City of Katowice.

Новые НАЗВАНИЯ, новые ГЕНРЫ, новые КИНО ТЕНДЕНЦИИ на большом экране в середине Сибири!
Международный Канский видеофестиваль (Россия/Сибирь) — не обычный кинофестиваль. Это эксперимент во времени и пространстве. Небольшой сибирский город Канск, случайно обнаруженный в Интернете и выбранный как его название коррелирует с Каннским кинофестивалем, Канск на русском языке произносится так же, как Канны.
*************
С 2002 года в глубинах Сибири фестиваль проходит ежегодно. Дальний путь от Лазурного берега до сурового климата Тайги, 7000 км от Лондона, 4500 км от Москвы и 300 км от Красноярска по «Дороге Ирронса» и Транссибирской железной дороге. В районе, полном чудесных и храбрых сибирских людей, пельмени, кедровые орехи, даже автобусы напоминают старошкольным автобусам давно потерянного советского места полной магии.
Канский видеофестиваль неизмеримо вырос с 2002 года, каждый год он принимает международное жюри из индустрии и художественных сообществ, проводит международные конкурсы кино и видеоарта со специальной программой показов и банком идей на 150 лет фестивалей. будущее. Фестиваль продвигает новые имена независимых и бескомпромиссных видео- и кинематографистов, новые жанры, новые кинотренды.
