Star Film Fest is dedicated to films made by young authors all around the world. Clear, simple, lovely but also serious! For 8 consecutive years, we have been giving opportunities to young, and talented filmmakers to showcase their works on the projection screen. Through the categories like documentary, feature, experimental, animated, and student film, Star Film Fest provides affirmation to students of the Academy of dramatic arts and the Academy of fine arts, but also to any young person that wants to engage in film outside academic frame.
In addition to film screenings and competition programs, Star Film Fest is held at several ambient locations in Sisak, and with accompanying content such as exhibitions, film workshops, concerts, and discussions on current topics, the festival proudly spreads film art propaganda which for centuries brings growth and cultural development to Croatia and the world while also calling for critical thinking and openness.
As a festival organizator, Kino Klub Sisak is also the only gathering place for filmmakers in Sisak-moslavina county. The development of Star Film Fest showcases the necessity of decentralization of film culture and art in Croatia. Therefore, by promoting the culture of filmmaking, creativity and critical thinking along with creating and maintaining a much needed platform for self-realization of young filmmakers, Star Film Fest gets the mark of a festival that is oriented on the prosperity of new, fresh creators, and audiences.

The filmzeitkaufbeuren is an open author's film festival that is deliberately not limited to any particular genre, topic or format. Fiction and documentary films, cartoons and animated films, art and experimental films with a maximum length of 40 minutes are presented.
Established in 2008, the Allgäu Authors' Film Festival has established itself in Germany and beyond as a small, fine film festival with a top-class jury.
With contributions at a consistently high level, sometimes soberly intellectual, sometimes serious and serious, sometimes funny, provocative or weird, but always touching and profound, the team would like to stimulate the dialogue on socio-political influence through the medium of film.
The II International Conference Hybrid Aesthetics of the Moving Image: Identity and Heritage is a meeting place for the different disciplines involved in the study of new media, visual studies, aesthetics, identity and critical theory, as well as preservation strategies of the audiovisual medium.
It is an initiative of the MICIU R+D+i EShID Project: Estéticas híbridas de la imagen en movimiento. Videoarte español y dinámicas identitarias en el mapa global (2019-2021), focused on research, transfer and dissemination of audiovisual works made in our country from the ARES archive. Aesthetics, identities and audiovisual practices in Spain; as well as the research group Visu@ls. Visual culture and identity politics. After the first edition, held in November 2020 at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Salamanca and focused on the theme of migration, globalization and interculturality, in 2021 the Universitat Politècnica de València will take over.
The meeting aims to generate critical thinking among researchers and professionals from different disciplines related to video art at an international level. Video art is understood as a resource capable of generating identity manifestations, as a medium that offers reproducibility, and at the same time questions the transmission of heritage because of its fragility and obsolescence. This broad panorama ranges from the production of imaginaries, such as the visualization of intimacy and gender roles through contemporary audiovisuals in the "image-world" we inhabit today, to the conflicts that arise in cultural and educational institutions when it comes to cataloguing and preserving the social memory of videographic practices. We could speak, then, of a dual nature of video art: one that directly affects the construction of identity that creates and projects collective imaginaries, and, on the other hand, a mediological identity that investigates the effects of technological innovations in the field of heritage.
Part of the congress will focus on discussing video art as a construction of identity, as a tool for inclusivity, analyzing the relationship between video and issues of indisputable social relevance such as feminism, sexual and gender diversity. The relationship between video art and the new instrumental strategies of conservation will be, therefore, the second major topic of debate of the congress, through which it is intended to establish a certain consensus that facilitates the decision-making process related to this type of works increasingly common in our institutions.
At the same time, an exhibition of video art works selected through this call will be held at the Josep Renau Exhibition Hall of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UPV.

PUFF was founded as an alternative festival to bring new and undiscovered films to cinema fans in Philadelphia. The festival has previously featured such notable films as Tragedy Girls, Witch in the Window, Happy Face, Antrum, and Karate Kill. We tout an excellent success rate for our selections, with 95% of our feature films from the first few years of the festival receiving independent distribution.
PUFF works to connect upstart filmmakers with distribution outlets by working with local independent film distributors, and to offer a place for filmmakers to gain exposure and network with as many industry professionals as possible. Filmmakers are welcomed to participate in our digital screening library to spread awareness about their projects.
All accepted films are screened at the 2223 Theater (2223.fish) on our theatrical sized screen. The theater is located in the trendy neighborhood of Fishtown, known for its popular restaurants, bars and art scene. (Venue may change due to current state and city COVID restrictions).
Festival Director Alex Gardner offers a long history of film festival and horror journalism experience, working with other film festivals in the past such as Another Hole in the Head, Buffalo Dreams and the Bay Area’s SiliCon.
