Welcome to the five edition of Diminuto, International Minimal Film Festival, a celebration of short-films.
Diminuto comes from the Latin: extremely small. The minimal cinema is that tiny cinema, but immensely deep; brief, but extensive in possibilities; tiny, but capable of creating endless universes.

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.
We are an International Short Film Festival, which works in the Dissemination and promotion of Venezuelan cinematography, Latin American and worldwide in four countries simultaneously;
And of all its cultural scope. Try to show cinematographic works that entertain, but above all, that exert an influence education in children, youth and the general population.

Inside Nollywood International Film Festival and awards embodies the celebration and exhibition of Cultural heritage and values which was showcased through motion pictures. The Nigerian Film industry, also known as Nollywood which pioneered this initiative was at the forefront on this unprecedented festival.
Inside Nollywood International Film Festival and awards was hosted by the Capital City of Anambra state, Awka and this Officially made it the first ever Film festival that was held in Anambra State.

INIFFAA as the Festival is abbreviated , will continuously be a haven for film practitioners, Entertainers and lovers of entertainment. We will continue to invent new ways of keeping our Followers engaged and excited.
The Festival was founded by Obinna Muoma, a prolific film maker and a Nollywood stake holder. He is the founder of Inside Nollywood.
“Accussì” was born from the broader idea of creating (in the future) a real Festival “for the eyes”, dedicated to the beauty of “local” territories, of spaces such as towns and villages that often experience dynamics of abandonment, and which instead in this project they become the theater of various types of performing arts, and primarily of a series of short films. The objective is to make the area of Giampilieri, sadly known in the news due to the floods in Messina in 2009, a place in which to welcome and talk about the beauty of cinema, without abandoning themes and contexts of a more "local" dimension .
The greatest ambition connected to this festival of short films is that it represents the beginning of a process of territorial valorisation where the central theme will always be the cultural redevelopment of the Village: a festival of short films "to begin with", a "Festival For Occhi" in all respects in the coming years, an event where cinema, theatre, visual arts, murals, sculptures and outdoor performances will meet and intertwine to enhance the entire context, contributing to its regeneration.

Islands in music & video
Ai
Oceans and seas cover 71% of the earth's surface, produce half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb 25% of carbon dioxide, capture 90% of the additional heat generated by these emissions and feed 3, 2 billion people. The oceans, seas & marine resources, lungs of the earth, are essential for sustainable development.
Promoting the heritage and creativity of the world's islands and caring for the oceans & seas is a major factor in developing the blue bio-economy, which is why we adopted it as the main axes of our cultural and media project.
The islands of the world, through the oceans and the continents of the planet, conceal important cultural and patrimonial wealth, as much by their variety, their specificity as by their authenticity. The islanders, being cut off from the continent, are forced to live in osmosis with their environment, to vibrate to the rhythm of the elements of their natural setting, and to dominate the rigors of their daily life by giving free rein to their creative imagination and their innovative spirit. In this perspective, artistic creativity is the best support for the expression of their dreams, their emotions & their collective memory
