With a look to the future of Independent Film, the Cutting Edge Film Festival has officially opened its call for entries for feature length and short length films of all genres.
Our festival is looking for the highest caliber of films that audiences can’t, and won’t forget, films created on the cutting edge of imagination, vision, and excitement while incorporating the best filmmaking into the art of the story.
For our 2018 festival, we shall be accepting all films of all lengths and genres including Documentary, Experimental, Religious/Spiritual, Animation, Comedy, Horror, with Horror sub-genres that include Supernatural, Thrillers, Wicken, Magical, Slashers, Science Fiction, Suspense, Horror Documentary, Horror Animation and all genres of Music Videos and LGBT films for the 2018 festival.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival sees film as an art form that has the power to bridge cultures and illuminate the universality of the human experience. Our festival seeks to enrich, to educate, and to entertain the world through the medium of film, and to unveil each filmmaker’s unique vision as a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and passion.
Our festival is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization which endeavors to promote the best filmmakers and their films to an ever-growing worldwide audience as a powerful medium that inspires creativity, encourages introspection, and compels the exploration of the senses, and expands the imagination.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival brings all the new technologies to bear and offers an event for the next step in film festival evolution. Now in the new millennium of filmmaking, our festival takes a leap forward and pierces the veil between the worldwide film audience and independent films with a cutting edge virtual theater that crumbles the boundaries that have in the past limited those who could partake in each filmmaker’s vision captured on film.
Much like with the digital technology that has swept independent film festivals throughout the world since the early 2000s, for many reasons the virtual theater is quickly becoming the first, best choice for festivals, and the new home of Independent film screening worldwide.
The virtual theater is the future of film festivals, as more and more festivals are now screening films online, and even the big festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival are moving to online screenings.
Festivals are making the leap to cyber screenings because of many reasons, including that it allows for so much more exposure for the films. It is expected that just like the extinction of the 35mm projectors that were replaced with digital, one day in the not too distant future all film festivals will screen almost exclusively online, with only a few live presentations, if any.
Unlike most other Film Festivals, ours is different because it offers a unique method of viewing films in an online film festival that is totally secure and safe for a filmmaker’s project, and even those that provide online festivals cannot duplicate the safety and security that our virtual theater offers.
Very different from other festivals streaming films online, films in this festival cannot be downloaded, the films HAVE NO EMBEDDING CODE and our HTML code if copied and pasted, the films will not play, therefore they CANNOT be placed on other websites.
The only time and place they can be viewed is in our festival. In short, we have gone to great lengths to set this system up to protect the safety and security of each filmmaker’s film always keeping the filmmaker in mind. Basically, it is just as secure as a brick and mortar theater screening, only much better.
The virtual theater system and screening platform is completely secure and can be viewed from any computer, and mobile device.
The Cutting Edge Film Festival is opening the doors and tearing down the walls between independent films, and the audiences who love them so much, allowing the world to share in their power and passion.
Cutting Edge Film Festival awards outstanding filmmakers and their work with Best of Genre Awards, along with an Audience Choice Award.
Film Selections Will be Announced October 6th, 2018
Our festival will take place October 18th, 2018, through October 27th, 2018
LIFE AFTER OIL International Film Festival è un festival di cinema ambientale e sui diritti umani
Come ci stiamo preparando all'era post-petrolifera?
Questa rassegna nasce col proposito di andare oltre la denuncia. Per quanto sia importante sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sui rischi connessi allo sfruttamento ed all'uso delle risorse naturali utilizzate per la produzione di combustibili fossili, resta tuttavia, in tutta la sua drammaticità, l'enorme problema dei disastri provocati dalla carenza energetica, con particolare riferimento all'approvvigionamento idrico di parte rilevantissima della popolazione mondiale. L'obiettivo principale della rassegna sarà dunque non solo l'evidenziare i problemi legati all'utilizzo di combustibili fossili, ma sopratutto l'individuazione delle alternative possibili che tengano conto, sulla base della conoscenze scientifiche attuali, dei vari metodi di produzione conosciuti.
Questo invito si rivolge a tutte le persone, collettivi, agenzie, mostre e produttori che hanno prodotto e/o possiedono i diritti di esposizione di opere audiovisive di breve durata e di natura documentaria, argomentativa, sperimentale e videoartistica; su formati cinematografici, video o di animazione.
Nel 2024, questo evento si svolgerà dal 13 al 17 agosto a Barranquilla, in Colombia. Siete tutti benvenuti a farci visita!

L'Aguilar de Campoo Short Film Festival è consolidato come una delle citazioni cinematografiche più veterane e importanti del nostro paese nel suo genere. L'Academy of Motion Picture Arts of Spain lo include come uno dei festival chiave per la selezione di cortometraggi che competeranno ai Goya Awards. Nel corso delle ultime edizioni il festival ha preso decisioni importanti che lo impegnano a favore del cinema del nostro paese. Nella sua tredicesima edizione ha pubblicato il suo manifesto in cui ha esposto la sua filosofia e il suo impegno per il cinema. Ha deciso di pagare la selezione dei cortometraggi selezionati, eliminando così la concorrenza economica per incoraggiare la creazione e la produzione artistica. Le sue sale di proiezione sono aperte al cinema internazionale, compresi tutti i generi, finzione, animazione documentaria e cinema sperimentale. Nel 2016 il festival ha ricevuto il riconoscimento dall'AIC (Short Film Industry Association). Questo certificato è una distinzione annuale per differenziare e premiare i festival che svolgono un ruolo esemplare nella diffusione, protezione e professionalizzazione del cinema e della sua industria, e in particolare del cortometraggio. Questa è la prima volta che questa certificazione viene concessa ed è il risultato di più di un anno di tavoli di lavoro e conversazioni con festival, registi e altri professionisti di tutto il paese al fine di sviluppare una guida ai buoni comportamenti nei confronti del cortometraggio e dei suoi creatori. Gli obiettivi fondamentali di questa distinzione sono educare le nuove generazioni di registi e proteggere i festival modello, riconoscendone la dedizione e il rigore. Cerchiamo l'incontro e lo scambio tra professionisti e pubblico come forma di arricchimento culturale.
