Founded by longtime residents and movie veterans alike, the Sherman Oaks Film Festival looks to showcase the best undiscovered movies in the heart of Los Angeles. The neighborhood that was home the mall in Fast Times At Ridgemont High deserves a world class film festival!

This allows filmmakers to talk about their work and their history more extensively than a festival Q&A allows. In 2019 the TV series "Discover Indie Film" premiered on Amazon Prime Video. This series is an anthology of short films selected from the filmmakers he has interviewed on the podcast.

The Sherman Oaks Film Festival is proud to announce the Hollywood professionals who comprise our Board:

Mike Flanagan: Director (Oculus, Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija 2)

Nijmegen, Netherlands


KloosterKino is the place to be for animated shorts in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Three times a year we show the best animated shorts from all over the world in a friendly setting. The screenings take place in a historic cloister, which dates back to 1909, and are not subject to admission.

KloosterKino shows work by young filmmakers, but also pays attention to classic animated film. Throughout the year we also work with other festivals and cultural organizations to arrange screenings of animated shorts.

But why animated shorts? Well, first of all, because we love them! But also because too few animated shorts are shown theatrically in the Netherlands. KloosterKino wants to show animation in all its diversity: from stop-motion to CGI, from narrative to abstract, homegrown and from far away. In doing so, we hope to aid in the diffusion of the artistic animated short.

We intend to be an alternative to the larger animation festivals by offering screenings which are both accessible and challenging. We stand for high quality animated film in welcoming surroundings. Our target audience is not just the animation aficionado, but also those who normally don’t watch animation, but are open to a surprising and stimulating program of films.

KloosterKino is a nonprofit foundation, that depends on volunteers and gifts.

AfryKamera. Festiwal Filmów Afrykanskich

Warsaw, Poland


The first AfryKamera Film Festival was organized by FilmGramm Foundation in cooperation with the South African Embassy during the months of April-June 2006. It aimed to use cinematography to bring Africa to the attention of the Polish public. The 1st AfryKamera premiered in Warsaw and also ran in Krakow, Poznan, Lodz, Torun and Konin. The unbelievable media interest and good ticket sales during the first festival in 2006 confirmed our belief that Africa is a theme of immense interest to a growing number of people. Since the very 1st edition, AfryKamera has been well covered in the Polish media, which confirms the great marketing potential of such an event for Africa in general, as well as, for sponsors and patrons.

As it stands AfryKamera is the first African Film Festival in Central and Eastern Europe as well as the largest African-themed event in Poland and the wider region.

AfryKamera has managed to occupy a niche in the film festival market – although there are many international film festivals, they generally show a limited range of African films. AfryKamera is therefore the only festival in Poland dedicated purely to films from the continent. In the past few years the festival has decided to explore new avenues not only in the art of cinematography, but also in the presentation of African art, music, and culture.

The main events of the African Film Festival AfryKamera take place in Warsaw, Poland, traditionally in either Kino Luna or Kinoteka, the capital city's premier arthouse cinemas. The event in 2018 will last 10 days and presents 15-25 full length features and documentaries as well as some 20 short films from around the continent and from the African diapora. The key motto of the festival is "Made in Africa", as the focus is put on the quality of moviemaking on the continent and the enhanced capacity to make world-class movies.

Terranuova Bracciolini, Italy


CALLING
The association "Le Ali di Icaro", a cultural and social promotion organization based in the Valdarno of Arezzo, organizes the seventh edition of the Wag Film Festival, which will be held in December 2019 in Terranuova Bracciolini (AR) at the Auditorium " Le Fornaci ”(Via Vittorio Veneto 19).

THEME
This year the trait d'union of the projection evenings is the theme of "The meeting", understood in its multiple meanings: "encounter" as the beginning of a relationship between people who, inevitably, develop their relationship growing together; "Meeting" as a sharing of cultures, with which geographical and ethnic barriers are overcome to achieve a common goal; "Meeting", finally, as a point of arrival, the ultimate goal of a creative journey matured over time.
Every director of the Festival will have the opportunity to share his personal "encounter" with the audience of Le Fornaci, which can be a turning point in his film career or, more generally, in life.
After the extraordinary success repeated for six editions, the Youth Jury, made up of boys and girls, embellished the competition of the Wag Film Festival.
girls (18-30 years of age) appropriately selected from the schools, institutions and associations of the territory for their personal interest and passion for cinema. The Youth Jury will be in charge of viewing the films in competition to award the winners and award the prizes during the closing night.
