Seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 2005 hat sich das Jecheon International Music & Film Festival (JIMFF) zu einem der führenden Filmfestivals Asiens zum Thema Musik entwickelt.

Das Jecheon International Music & Film Festival wird vom Exekutivkomitee des Jecheon International Music & Film Festival organisiert.
Our event is devoted to exploration of different artistic ways for remarkable expression of the author’s view, not dictated by any of political or trend frames, but delivered with high quality and in a respective manner.
We promote cinematic art as the greatest means for dialog between nations and try to deepen community’s understanding of Russian mentality. We encourage directors and producers to rise the issues of all kinds of global or local problems, because we strongly believe in cinematic power in solving them and awakening people’s mind.

Started in Bologna in 2011, Boff is situated in a beautiful park in the center of Bologna and it open for all who would like to take part.
This year’s programme aims not only to give visibility to films from the national and international film circuit, but also tries to speak to a world of people who are usually cut off from cinema. With the introduction of sound, the deaf left the cinema. With Boff we hope they’ll come back. the program will be vast and full of themes of cinematic language: visual perception, rather than sound – where the only music is in the form of bodily vibrations.
The festival’s themes are the environment, ecology and sustainable development in a comprehensive sense. The festival accepts films that question the global place and impact of Man in and on his environment: biodiversity, environmental and human stakes, climate change, natural resources, science and research, evolution of borders, alternative energies, indigenous communities and issues, environmental health, urbanism, mobility, environmental activism, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and so forth.
Das AVANCA Film Festival wurde 2011 im Wettbewerb der vom ICA/Kulturministerium gesponserten unterstützenden Filmfestivals mit dem ersten Platz ausgezeichnet.
In all den Jahren wurde ein zusätzliches thematisches Programm eingeführt, das der Vorführung bedeutender Werke des zeitgenössischen Kinos Raum bietet, die angemessen auf Anliegen und/oder klar definierte Ziele zugeschnitten sind.
Die AVANCA ist als Ort für Workshops bekannt, die von Persönlichkeiten des Weltkinos geleitet werden, und da sie mehr als eine „Meisterklasse“ ist, hat sie eine einzigartige Kinopraxis ermöglicht. Jedes Jahr veranstalten wir Workshops, an denen Teilnehmer aus ganz Europa teilnehmen. Die Medien haben geschrieben, dass dies der größte europäische Bereich für professionelle Workshops im Bereich Kino ist.
AVANCA ist das einzige Festival, das einen internationalen Kinowettbewerb mit Werken aus den Bereichen Fernsehen, Video und neue Medien veranstaltet, wobei das besondere Anliegen darin besteht, die besten Weltproduktionen jeder Kategorie auszustellen.
Seit der ersten Ausgabe akzeptiert das Festival nur noch nie dagewesene Filme in Portugal.
Der Wettbewerb zur Weltpremiere ist in unserem Land einzigartig und war nur möglich, weil Avanca zu einem Treffpunkt für unveröffentlichte Autoren und Filme von großer Qualität wurde. Filme, die unabhängig von der eingereichten Kategorie auf dem Festival ihre Weltpremiere feiern, nehmen ebenfalls am Weltpremierenwettbewerb teil.
AVANCA ist das portugiesische Festival mit dem höchsten Anteil an weltweit unveröffentlichten Filmen, die hier zum ersten Mal gezeigt werden.
Seit 2010 organisieren wir die internationale Filmkonferenz AVANCA | CINEMA, die zur wichtigsten Konferenz im Bereich Kino auf der Iberischen Halbinsel geworden ist. Diese Konferenz bringt Redner und Teilnehmer aus der ganzen Welt zusammen.
Thematische Ausstellungen, Buchausgaben, bibliographische Präsentationen und verschiedene Projekte haben die letzten 10 Jahre von AVANCA mit der Qualität geprägt, die das Festival und die Teilnehmer natürlich erwarten.

The Sky Film Festival is a project for an Audiovisual Festival (cinema, television and advertising) organized by MultiSignes producer with all sides of sky, air and flight as a theme.
During the 24th - 26th of June Castelló d'Empúries-Empuriabrava will be filled with audiovisual screenings and side activities (conferences, fair, air sports exhibitions, children workshops...) with the themes of sky, air and flight as the central concept. In short, the intention is to create an international meeting point, both for specialists and those interested on these subjects.
Alt Empordà, and specially Castelló d'Empúries, are reference sites in the world of sky and aerial leisure and sports. Since the year 2012, Empuriabrava hosts the "Windoor real fly" wind tunnel, one of the biggest free fall simulators in Europe and the first that was installed in Spain. Also the Parachuting Centre SkyDive Empuriava, which has been operating since 1985.
The nature will be one of the festival's highlights, given that birds are the kings of the sky and the air, and hence the importance of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, a protected wetland zone for its rich ecosystem. We must not forget the tramuntana north wind, which creates a unique climate and is one of our country's distinguishing features.

Founded in 2000, The Valley Film Festival (VFF) is a non-profit project of Community Partners ® and is the first and longest continually running film festival in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, headquartered in the NoHo Arts District.
Now in its 20th year, VFF supports local and international voices that advance storytelling, while furthering the education, production, and exhibition of film.

FOCUS ON: Series
*Educational panels in The Valley’s schools (Art Institute, Columbia College Hollywood, and New York Film Academy) that bring our network of industry experts together to share relevant, practical knowledge on navigating the industry
THE VALLEY FILM MARKET

VFF screens shorts, features, documentaries, animated films, experimental works, web series, music videos, and more. If you're unsure if your film fits our programming, please review our archives before submitting.
