Film and Literature – a passion more than perfect
To paraphrase Freud, behind every great movie is a great argument, and behind a big argument, most often, is a great book. When Cinema was born in 1895, and had emerged as the Seventh Art, Literature (Sixth of Arts), already had long and rich history.
No wonder Cinema, characterized by it’s irreverence and ambitiousness, has turned to it’s older sister for inspiration, plots, stories and characters.
This almost umbilical connection runs through the history of cinema, as an almost perfect passion. But like all passions, there are moments of overwhelming intensity, sublime betrayals, mediocre or brilliant adaptations. Without the support of Literature, Cinema would perhaps be a hollow technique, an invention without a future. With inspiration in Literature, Cinema is a dream that is making millions of viewers worldwide dream, the great art of our time, a creative synthesis of all the arts.
Recognizing the importance of Literature in Cinema, rather than diminishing it, will only magnify it.

Siamo un festival che promuove con forza il cinema sociale indipendente, quel cinema che racconta storie di persone, luoghi, condizioni e situazioni comuni alla maggior parte dell'umanità. In altre parole, storie di carne e sangue, sensibili e vere.
D'altra parte, siamo convinti che il cinema sia lo strumento più importante di trasformazione sociale e culturale del mondo; e che i festival siano mezzi alternativi e vetrine espositive, la cui funzione specifica è l'interazione dinamica con il pubblico target, al fine di raggiungere livelli di profonda consapevolezza per quegli spettatori.
Pertanto, vogliamo presentarci a voi, registi, in modo formale e onesto, fingendo di essere considerati un ponte tra chi vede, interpreta e plasma la realtà in modo diverso e gli abitanti della nostra regione; una regione situata in Colombia, che ha urgente bisogno di ascoltare messaggi di social e speranza culturale attraverso l'arte, al fine di raggiungere la pace interiore e cambiamenti radicali nella loro vita.

17° Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-27, Nuova Delhi, India
Celebrando l'eccellenza nel cinema
Il Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival è un festival cinematografico senza scopo di lucro, non commerciale e unico in India, istituito nel 2011 a Delhi NCR con la missione di celebrare il cinema e il lavoro di aspiranti registi giovani, indipendenti e professionisti. Il festival è importante per l'industria cinematografica indiana in quanto viene organizzato il 30 aprile di ogni anno per celebrare l'anniversario della nascita di Late.Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, considerato il padre del cinema indiano e ricordato con affetto come Dada Saheb Phalke dalla confraternita cinematografica di tutta l'India e del mondo. Il suo obiettivo è riconoscere il cinema new age illuminante, divertente e progressista di registi giovani ed esperti.
Negli anni passati il festival ha guadagnato reputazione ed è considerato uno dei festival più prestigiosi dell'India. Il festival cresce nel corso degli anni e attira registi da tutta l'India e da oltre 145 nazioni in tutto il mondo. Il festival ha sezioni per lungometraggi, cortometraggi, documentari, animazioni, video musicali e film pubblicitari. Il festival premia i registi nelle categorie produzione, creatività, musica e performance.
Il 17° Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-2027 mira a celebrare l'eccellenza del cinema. Dada Saheb Phalke ha dato inizio al movimento del cinema in India nel vero senso della parola ed è il simbolo dell'eccellenza. Il suo contributo al cinema indiano non ha eguali. Oggi il cinema indiano sta toccando il cielo sia in termini di contenuti che di tecnologia, ma vale la pena ricordare che è stato avviato dal leggendario Dada Saheb Phalke e che stiamo solo portando avanti.
Fondato da Educationexpo TV, una delle principali società di ricerca e branding nel settore dell'intrattenimento e gestito da Miniboxoffice, il Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-27 offre ai registi la possibilità di mostrare la propria creatività. Sebbene il festival sia aperto a registi di tutte le età, riteniamo che, così come è imperativo sostenere e incoraggiare la partecipazione dei membri della comunità cinematografica e dei professionisti, è anche importante trovare e coltivare i futuri membri dell'industria dell'intrattenimento.
La mostra internazionale di cortometraggi Video/Jujuy/Cortos è uno spazio di proiezione audiovisiva NON competitivo, senza fini di lucro, aperto e gratuito organizzato annualmente da Wayruro Comunicación Popular.
L'obiettivo del Festival è promuovere la produzione e la diffusione di audiovisivi come mezzo di espressione e comunicazione.
Questo spazio artistico/culturale gratuito è nato nel 2002. Fin dai suoi inizi, il festival ha stabilito relazioni con scuole, organizzazioni sociali, di quartiere, per i diritti umani e artistiche, i centri di attività giovanili e le organizzazioni delle popolazioni native, cercando di essere permeabile alle esigenze e alle richieste del mezzo, sia in termini di temi che di genere, dando vita a un programma variegato che spazia dal video sociale all'animazione, compresa la fiction e gli audiovisivi sperimentali.
Come spazio e luogo di riflessione e punto di incontro per i creatori, rinomati professionisti organizzano workshop e conferenze, cercando di fornire informazioni e formazione, gratuitamente, agli interessati. Quest'anno, la mostra concentra questo spazio sulla riflessione sulla situazione audiovisiva, sul lavoro e sul pensiero in rete e sul consolidamento della produzione audiovisiva comunitaria e popolare.
NOFI is a multi stage International Festival of New and Original Films. It was founded by the Center of American New Cinema and Arts (CANCA). The preliminary stages take place in Russia, Sweden and Armenia while the final stage is taking place in USA (Los Angeles). Each year an estimated 1000 independent and student films participate in the NOFI festivals from 60 countries. We have representatives in 10 countries including USA, Russia, Sweden, Armenia, Belarus, UK,Belgium, Holland, Arab Emirates and Philippines.
The goal of the NOFI festivals is to find and invite talented film directors to NOFI film studying and producing programs for shooting their films with the help of our sponsors and grants. We then represent, promote and will try to sell the best films from NOFI in the American Film Market, Cannes film market, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and other markets. Winning films can also participate in NOFI sister’s film festivals in Korea, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Russia and Armenia. The winners from each category and diplomas of honor can have the opportunity to show their films (edited versions) at our NOFI film festival on YouTube channel. The best actors from the best films can join our “Accent” International Talent Management. Also the trailers of the awarded films will be in our web site for years, providing more exposure. Our festival helps expose new and emerging directors and actors. NOFI festivals give them an opportunity to present their names in motion pictures studios and be discovered in the film industry worldwide. NOFI is designed to showcase innovative work by new filmmakers who may (or may not) have been overlooked by other festivals. We organize forums and round tables with filmmakers during the NOFI festivals to understand their needs, help solve common problems with film production and discuss their future projects. Our slogan is- “Indie filmmakers without borders.” Many celebrities and representatives from film studios have attended screenings and award ceremonies of NOFI festivals.
