Montecatini International Short Film Festival, promosso dalla Federazione Italiana Cineclub (Fedic), con le sue 68 edizioni è uno dei festival di cortometraggi più longevi in Europa.
All'inizio, era principalmente destinato alle opere nazionali, ma a partire dagli anni '90, quando il Concorso Nazionale spostato in un'altra piccola città della Toscana, San Giovanni Valdarno, Montecatini si è affermata come vetrina di riferimento a livello internazionale, desiderosa di presentare un enorme panorama di nuove produzioni incentrate su diversi generi e tendenze.
L'obiettivo principale del Montecatini Festival Internazionale del Cortometraggio è quello di dare una visione completa del corto nel panorama cinematografico internazionale, nella sua estensione più ampia, puntando sempre alla qualità dei film e non all'aspetto glamour offrendo una bellissima location in Toscana dove discutere e magari trovare collegamenti per lavori futuri.
Ogni anno il Presidente della Repubblica italiana concede la sua adesione e la sua medaglia al Festival Internazionale del Cortometraggio di Montecatini.
Ultimo ma non meno importante: registi come Franco Piavoli e Nanni Moretti sono da segnalare tra i registi emergenti nei primi 60ties a Montecatini International Short Film Festival.

The Búfalo D'água space was created through the partnership of producers/artists, who come from different cultural backgrounds, such as music, cinema and theater, with the intent of disseminating and integrating the artistic production, including all types of expressions and work fields, whether they come from the alternative or independent scenery. Following these guide lines, we created the "Bufalada", one of our main events where artists from different backgrounds and areas present something of their work, in a afternoon filled with art. In this event, that will take place a few days before the exhibition, we will present the trailers from all the selected short films.
Búfalo D'água is the home of the theater company "As Bárbaras" and the film production company "Clareia Filmes". It has a complete filming studio that can also be rented for external projects. Combining our personal projects with the desire to disseminate our space so more people can develop their own projects as well, it seemed like a natural step to organize a short films exhibition so we could establish and strengthen our connections with other film makers and film enthusiastic's.
The 1st Short Films Exhibition SP - Búfalo D'Água was also created to end our "INTEGRATION" cycle (a cycle of debate boards and workshops that will take place in the days that precede the exhibition) and will reunite several consolidated professionals from different artistic fields as well and young artists starting their careers. In this manner, we hope to create a mixture of public that combines both the more spontaneous audience with the more experienced eyes from out invited guests.
This is our 5th year and we've had some dynamite entries like "Christmas With the Dead" (Joe Lansdale), "A Child's Christmas in Texas" (Jessica Gardner), and "You Say" (Sidney Brammer). In 2013 we expanded the festival to include a panel discussion led by three Austin-based professional actors: Michael Conway, CK McFarland, and Jaston Williams. The festival was held at The Lost pines 8 Movie Theatres in Bastrop, as well as a catered closing party.
In 2014 we are expanding even further, to include a second day of filmmaking workshops in local high schools. The first day will again take place at the Lost Pines 8, and will include screening the films to a paying audience, a panel discussion, an award ceremony and cocktail party.

Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken and with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents around 300 films coming from around 50 countries at different places in Paris. In Berlin the festival will be performed in the legendary cinema Babylon.
The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.
