À sa 24e année, le Festival international du court métrage de 24 images par seconde a acquis la réputation de présenter certaines des émissions d'exposition les plus uniques et les plus difficiles sur le circuit des festivals.
La mission de 24fps est de célébrer et d'encourager les cinéastes étudiants et indépendants. Les programmes de projection publique du Festival sont conçus pour mettre en valeur le créateur autant que l'œuvre elle-même. Tous les films exposés sont présentés par un commentateur, et les cinéastes présents ont la possibilité de s'entretenir avec le public du festival à la fin de l'exposition de leur film.
Les films sont exposés dans le cadre de la troisième partie des programmes organisés. Tous les films sont projetés dans le lieu d'exposition du festival, le théâtre phare Paramount, inscrit au National Register of Historic Places des États-Unis.

Le 15e Festival international du film FICCI-ON - Ciudad Rodrigo vise à promouvoir les films éducatifs, sociaux et spirituels réalisés dans le monde entier.
Le thème du festival sera donc éducatif, social et fondé sur les valeurs, y compris tous les films qui promeuvent le développement de l'enfant sous tous ses aspects.
Des films basés sur des valeurs qui abordent le thème des droits de l'homme, ainsi que du dialogue interculturel. Il y aura également de la place pour des films traitant de thèmes ethnographiques, de dénonciation sociale ou d'engagement en faveur du développement de la culture de la paix. En ce qui concerne les thèmes spirituels, il s'agit d'une section très large où des films religieux et/ou spirituels seront inclus, quelles que soient la confession et le credo du film et de ses auteurs.

Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken, Bankok, Quito (Ecuador), Tucuman (Argentina) and now Urbino, as also with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents some Hundrets films over the year coming from around 60 countries.
The Festival is searching 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 23 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.
FARO 1540 - L'Association pour la défense et la promotion du patrimoine environnemental et culturel de Faro, après le succès des dernières éditions de FARCUME - Festival international du court métrage de Faro, organise la 11e édition de ce festival qui se tiendra dans la ville de Faro du 26 au 28 septembre 2025.
Cette 15e édition de FARCUME vise à exposer et à promouvoir des œuvres de la section des courts métrages d'une durée maximale de 18 minutes, réparties en trois catégories : animation, documentaire et fiction.
À ce festival, tous les citoyens nationaux et étrangers peuvent participer, individuellement ou en groupe, simplement en respectant les stipulations du règlement, en remplissant un formulaire d'inscription et en envoyant leurs œuvres à l'organisation avant le 11 juillet 2025, sous réserve de présélection.
L'objectif principal de ce festival reste le même : faire connaître et lancer de nouveaux talents ainsi que promouvoir auprès du public les excellentes œuvres réalisées dans ce domaine mais qui n'ont pas toujours la promotion souhaitée et méritée.
En d'autres termes, FARCUME, dans un environnement informel, de bonne humeur et dans une atmosphère détendue, entend récompenser et reconnaître le dévouement, l'engagement, la créativité et le mérite des réalisateurs, des acteurs et des équipes techniques qui, avec des moyens modestes, peuvent développer des œuvres de grande qualité.
Compte tenu des principes et des objectifs de « FARO 1540 », qui a même le statut d'ONG (organisation environnementale non gouvernementale), le festival continuera de faire preuve d'une grande préoccupation environnementale et d'inciter les participants à ne pas présenter de courts métrages revendiquant ou encourageant le manque de respect pour l'environnement, les inégalités en matière de droits humains ou la maltraitance des animaux. Un plan de gestion environnementale spécifiquement « conçu » pour cet événement sera développé plus avant afin de garantir l'optimisation des ressources nécessaires à la promotion et à la réalisation de l'événement et à la gestion des déchets générés.
Mission:
A judged film festival described as "Sundance with Fangs" by Newsday Long Island. We provide a venue for showcasing your films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those of you who passionately craft your Strange-ifical, Weird-ifical, Horror-ifical, Sci-fi-tastical, Fantastical and Macabre-licious films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced: Ma-Cob. The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning: disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury, WE ARE NOT SOLELY A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL but instead a whole lot more than that. We usually approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in the sense that, not all of the films screened are horror and instead many may simply be considered a bit on the darker side. Of course, we will add some horror to this festival but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as:
Vincent Price & Peter Cushing or those fantastic Gothic horrors like the "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to us. What we are saying is that the word "Macabre" DOES NOT mean we only accept HORROR films but instead that we welcome those films that can tap into our fears through what you don't see or hear. A dark drama, mystery, suspense, thriller or dark comedy can do a lovely job making us feel uncomfortable in the dark. So folks, this is what many of the films selected for the Macabre Faire Film Festival offer. A buffet for any pallet. About the only thing we may have to say "No Thanks" to would be a romantic comedy/drama... unless, there's a monster under the bed during love making or other dark element.
All submitted films are pre-screened by select judges that includes Eileen Dietz, our Festival Ambassador, of the original "The Exorcist" film to ensure the films have followed guidelines and are an overall fit for the festival. Then the films are passed on to another set of judges consisting of more filmmakers, film critics, genre film fans and or seasoned actors to choose the Official Selections. Once these selections have been identified there is an additional judging process in collaboration with the original pre-screening judges to identify the different category nominees. Once you have been notified we insist on having the film festival entry form filled out and submitted back to the festival via email or snail mail within 4 weeks of acceptance. This form can be found on our website or it has been emailed to you as an attachment with your initial welcoming email.
URGENT NOTE: IF THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE FESTIVAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ACCEPTED FILM WITHIN 4 WEEKS FROM INITIAL ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION, WHICH ALL FILMMAKERS RECEIVE FROM FESTHOME BY DEADLINE DATE, YOUR FILM WILL NO LONGER BE AN OFFICIAL SELECTION IN THE MACABRE FAIRE FILM FESTIVAL. So we urge everyone to check their spam folders at all times and or ensure to make contact with the festival within 4 weeks of the acceptance notification. Failure to do so will exclude your film from the festival. Please take the time to ACTUALLY READ all the pages of the submission form which contains mailing address information (if needed) and other very important details which includes getting your discs or film posters sent to the festival in a timely fashion. This does not mean mailing materials in 2 weeks before the event as they will not be accepted.
Moving on...
January's festival always falls on Martin Luther King Jr weekend for easy remembering. This 4 day event start with Thursday and Friday being solely screening days with minimal panels within 3 screening rooms. The festival continues for another 2 days with Saturday screenings starting at 12pm into midnight within 4-5 screening rooms and an intimately sized vendor room with additional panels available for guests. Saturday evening is capped with an elaborate Red Carpet Gala Award Ceremony that offers a glamorous atmosphere filled with Press, Photos, Entertainment, Dinner and Awards! This is NOT to be missed.
Sunday captures the conversations from the night prior winners and more. A perfect day to catch those shorts you may have missed as it usually hosts an encore segment for short films from 12pm until 6pm. Be sure to visit the vendor room before the day is over and sit in on another panel or other special treat before it all ends until the following year.
Several films that have screened at MFFF have received distribution at this time for titles like: Cannibal Diner, Caesar & Otto's Deadly XMas, Caesar & Otto's Paranormal Halloween, Model Hunger, The Perfect House, House of Afflictions, Dead Woman's Hollow, The Long Island Serial Killer, The Ghouligans, Devil Knows His Own, Coyote, and others being discussed at this very moment. Will yours be next?

Chaque édition, ANIMA rassemble une merveilleuse communauté d'animateurs et de cinéastes d'action en direct, designers, producteurs, artistes visuels et audiovisuels, qui réunissent les trois jours du festival à travers des panels, séminaires, expositions, projections et opportunités de réseautage social.
The Ko&digital: Festival Internacional de Cine Solidario project starts its Call for entries for short films (fiction, documentary, animation) which focus on social, environmental and solidarity related themes.
BOSIFEST est le festival international de films documentaires pour et par les personnes handicapées, le seul de ce type en Europe du Sud-Est, qui sera organisé cette année pour la seizième fois en Serbie par le Hendi Center Koloseum. Comme au cours des quinze dernières années, cette année, un grand nombre de films seront projetés sur grand écran, tant en compétition qu'en partie non compétitive. Jusqu'à présent, les visiteurs du BOSIFEST ont eu l'occasion de regarder 850 films ayant pour sujet la vie des personnes handicapées ou créés par des auteurs handicapés.
Outre les projections de films, le BOSIFEST propose des programmes supplémentaires sous forme d'ateliers, de tables rondes et de tables rondes.
Axolotl Film Festival of Mexico City with Cactus Films invite Mexican and international filmmakers residing in and outside the country to participate in its second edition to be be held from the 9th to the 13th of November, 2016 in the windows of different shops on the main streets of the Historical Center of Mexico City.
The shop windows are natural screens, generally disregarded, ready to present and recreate our lives and experiences in Mexico City. Commercial establishments are no longer meeting places for citizens and, conversely, are spaces that separate us. We believe that cinema can generate and promote a sense of community among the residents and the visitors of the city.
All participating short film and video need to reference, in their subject matter, characters, settings and/ or storyline, to Mexico City. The short films could have been produced in Mexico City, in other states or abroad.
Les associations culturelles AlchemicArts et Gruppo Augusteo, en collaboration avec Tetra Vision Production, ont le plaisir d'annoncer le 15e festival international du court métrage, « CORTISONANTI 2024 », réputé pour son innovation et ses ateliers de réalisation bien organisés à Naples, en Italie.
A-TAR: International Festival of Film Schools is now accepting submissions from all colleges, universities and film institutes. It will screen shorts and feature films produced by film students and faculty.
A-TAR will take place from September 23 rd to September 27 th, 2019 in the city of Mexicali, Mexico.
Ars Independent Festival 2019 will be the 9th multimedia festival of film, animation, video games and music videos. The upcoming edition will take place in Katowice, between the 24th and 29th of September 2019.
The festival is searching for what’s cool in young, debuting, contemporary audio-visual culture. It’s not afraid to watch videos with 27 views on YouTube, it’s missing the “least popular” sorting option on itch.io and considers Festival Scope Pro decidedly “too mainstream”.
The heart of the festival are four international competitions, in which the audience decides about the awarding of prizes. The Black Horse of Film (feature films from all over the world) and the Black Horse of Animation (short features) present the cinematographic debuts by directors from the entire world, often as their Polish premieres. The Black Horse of Video Games and the Black Horse of Music Video are devoted to new games and music videos.
Additionally, every year festivalgoers are treated to: screenings of films, animations and music videos, video game exhibitions, virtual reality and new technologies, discussion panels and Q&As with artists, concerts, live acts and musical afterparties.
In previous years, the festival hosted a variety of artists from all over the world, including Béla Tarr, Nina Menkes, Phil Mulloy, Laila Pakalnina, Bruce LaBruce, Tami Tamaki, Stephen „M.O.O.N.” Gilarde, Jakuba Dvorský, Mariola Brillowska, Piotr Dumała, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Bodo Kox, Łukasz Barczyk, Sos Sosowski, Wiktor Stribog and Władysław Komendarek.
The event is organized by the culture institution Katowice the City of Gardens and the City of Katowice.
To participate in the first edition of "Cefalu Film Festival Pino Scicluna» must register by April 25, 2015 using the special form that is on the page of the competition and also published in the electronic journal 'Cefalunews.

Each participant will have to get your movie to the secretariat of the "Cefalu Film Festival Pino Scicolone" in digital format, for the projection to the public, by May 31, 2015.
Le concours s'adresse aux cinéastes du monde entier qui produisent des courts métrages et des documentaires.
Son objectif est d'évaluer les courts métrages et les documentars-films dont le but est l'expressivité et la divulgation culturelle, en lançant un événement cinématographique dans tout le Val d'Intelvi.

We screen the best documentaries from around the world at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendared runs at the Roxie later in the year. We get great press coverage in San Francisco, the second largest film market in the country, plus industry reviews.
San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our fest has built a passionate following over the past 24 years.
LAST YEAR'S PRESS COVERAGE: https://sfindie.com/press-coverage
SF DocFest is an annual festival devoted to documentary cinema. Since 2001, this event has brought the most weird and wonderful aspects of real life to the big screen.
"What makes the scrappy San Francisco Documentary Film Festival a treasure to SF Bay Area filmgoers is its willingness to take that extra step to show films a little more out there than bog standard documentaries." - Peter Wong, Broke Ass Stuart
“Docfest offers a zippy blend of politics, music, social issues and youth-oriented subcultures. The good news is that DocFest promotes documentaries as a vibrant, irreverent form of entertainment to a younger demographic, blasting the notion of educational films to smithereens. There’s no room for anything approximating — watch it, I’m about to blaspheme – the obsessively measured and utterly somnambulant musings of Ken Burns.” – Michael Fox, KQED
“Since its inception, DocFest (May 31-June 15 at the Roxie and the Vogue, with opening night at Alamo Drafthouse) has compiled a colorful scrapbook of genuine characters in contrast to the current events survey, educational seminar or social-issue forum that defines many documentary series… There are one or two people in Off the Charts you won’t soon forget, which could be said about nearly every film in DocFest. That’s one of the pleasures of scrapbooks.” – also Michael Fox, KQED
Michael Fox just loves DocFest, here's another:
"Welcome to SF DocFest, the beloved annual compendium of odd, unusual nonfiction films from every nook and corner of our bizarro country and beyond. Waving off the pedigreed, high-profile docs that premiere at Sundance, get theatrical releases (or these days, national virtual releases) and chart a course for the Academy Awards, SF DocFest’s programmers opt for poignant, intimate works that miss the mainstream by dint of their iconoclasm and/or lack of a marketing hook." -KQED
"This week brings the kickoff to the 20th edition of SF Docfest, the rapidly-becoming-venerable nonfiction showcase that nonetheless continues to put the fun in documentary cinema appreciation. While other such showcases tend to be soberly issue-themed, focusing on the environment, activism, or some such, Docfest pursues—though not exclusively—colorful human interest stories, musician profiles, and other subjects on which there will not be a class quiz afterward." - Dennis Harvey, 48Hills
