The London International Animation Festival proudly showcases the whole spectrum of creative animation, showing that animation is for everyone.

Founded in 2003, LIAF aims to dispel the popular misconception that animation is just cartoons for kids by screening the broadest possible range of intelligent, entertaining and provocative current films on offer from all around the world as well as retrospectives and specialised sessions from countries and animators who don't normally elicit such attention.

Our annual 10-day Festival includes gala premieres, retrospectives, Q&A's with filmmakers, workshops, audience voting, and the Best of the Festival screening.

CINESONIKA: celebrating the soundtrack

Surrey, Canada


CINESONIKA is the premiere international exhibition for works which make full artistic use of sound's contribution to the moving image, showcasing fascinating soundtracks, idiosyncratic sound design, eclectic scoring and innovative approaches to the sound-image relationship.

Since it's founding in 2010, the CINESONIKA website has averaged ~5000 unique visitors annually, a much larger audience than most boutique film festivals gain in actual screening attendees.

To take advantage of this established global exposure, CINESONIKA 6 will also have an online festival in the Summer of 2017, running in parallel to the Vancouver VFX Festival (www.vvfx.ca). Live screenings of both festivals will take place in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.

Cinesonika is also partnering with the NW Film Center in Portland, OR for screenings of select films as part of our touring anthology.

We are open to works in any format, including narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, and uncategorizable styles. Videos will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the deadline, so earlier submissions will result in earlier notifications.

We accept in all genres (e.g. animation, narrative, documentary, performance, experimental, shorts, etc.)

ASSERTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS is a project that has emerged from Festival de Málaga, Mabel Lozano (documentary filmmaker and collaborator of the Festival), and the Equal Opportunities Area of Malaga City Council as a protest tool. This section is created with the aim of exploring and dealing with issues that contribute to social awareness of women's rights each year.

This section of Festival de Málaga was born in 2008, this being its 18th edition. The project is conceived with a double purpose: to inform about the injustices that women still suffer in this century for the mere fact of being women, and to encourage and support the cinematographic work created by women.

Indieflicks International Monthly Film Festival

IndieFlicks is the UK's monthly film festival, supporting the best up and coming filmmakers from around the world. IndieFlicks is continuously growing, hosting simultaneous screenings in Manchester, London and Sheffield. We also host a repeat screening the following week in Liverpool.

"They only pick the best films for their screenings so it's not only a great festival to enter, but a great film night to attend. I've enjoyed every film i've seen so far.”
Chris Cronin, Director.

How our monthly festival works…

Our Monthly Festival is a showcase of Short films from around the world, screening 50 minutes of short film in the first half, followed by our selected Feature Short in the second. We also host a Q&A with filmmakers able to attend and talks with local creatives.
At each event, two films will be selected to win either one of our awards:

The People’s Choice Award
The Directors Choice Award

Films included in the first half are nominated for our 'The People's Choice Award’; This is evidently voted for our audiences on the night and votes are calculated collectively from all of our venues.

In the second half of the night we host our 'Feature Short', one film no longer than 50 minutes. This is our headliner for the event. This film is awarded, ‘The Directors Choice Award’, one that our Judging panel felt deserves recognition.

"Not only is IndieFlicks a brilliant opportunity to network within the Manchester filmmaking community, it offers insight into short filmmaking approaches worldwide."
Martyn Ellis, Sound Engineer, Noise Four

Notifications:

Filmmakers will be notified throughout the year. If successful, your film will be screened on the first Wednesday of a selected month.
