PLEASE READ!

Transterritorial Underground Film Festival – 22nd Edition (2026)

The Transterritorial Underground Film Festival is an annual, self-managed and decentralised event that, since 2005, has brought together venues and exhibition spaces in various cities across Latin America and other territories. Its identity is based on the free circulation of audiovisual works, formal experimentation, aesthetic research and the visibility of works that remain outside industrial or hegemonic circuits.

The festival receives and exhibits audiovisual productions of all kinds: unpublished, experimental, marginal, independent, community-based or simply outside the commercial logic of contemporary cinema. It is screened in unconventional, community, cultural and self-managed spaces, creating a trans-territorial network that operates as a social, political and emotional tool.

Thousands of works have passed through this network in its twenty-year history, transforming the relationship between filmmakers, programmers and viewers. The 22nd edition continues this quest, expanding the modes of exhibition and maintaining a programme connected with emerging languages, aesthetic risk and subjectivities expressed from the margins.

The selected works may be screened at any venue in the network, in satellite screenings or in subsequent travelling cycles, always in non-commercial contexts and with cultural, educational or community objectives.

The participating venues in 2025 included screenings in Tigre, Quilmes, Ituzaingó, Berazategui, Necochea, Pehuajó and CABA (Buenos Aires), Rio Cuarto (Córdoba), Rosario (Santa Fe) and Tucumán in Argentina; Pamplona and Medellín (Colombia), Punta del Diablo (Uruguay) and Berlin (Germany).

Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.)

The Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.) is an annual international showcase dedicated to independent filmmakers. Founded in 2017 by THE BASEMENT, a nonprofit Cultural and Educational Organization (B.C.E.O.), the festival was built by creators, for creators.

In a film industry dominated by studios and massive budgets, independent voices often struggle to break through. A.C.H.I.F.F. exists to change that. We provide a platform where filmmakers with limited resources — but powerful stories — can share their vision with a global audience.

At A.C.H.I.F.F., every participant receives recognition. Gold and Silver winners are honored with official certificates, while all filmmakers — regardless of category or distinction — receive personalized poster‑awards. With numerous award categories spanning narrative, performance, technical craft, and visual identity, the festival ensures that every creator leaves with something meaningful, and the celebration of cinema becomes a rich tapestry of many prizes. In addition, winners, nominees, and finalists have the option to acquire handcrafted bust‑awards, made from mineral‑based material and hand‑painted, offering a tangible keepsake of their achievement.
Why Submit to A.C.H.I.F.F.?

A Proven Legacy: For 9 years, we’ve screened hundreds of films, from 4‑day to 11‑day events, always spotlighting originality and bold storytelling.

A New Monthly Format: Starting this year, A.C.H.I.F.F. becomes a monthly festival. Each month, one film is awarded Best of the Month. The 12 monthly winners then compete at Halloween for the ultimate honor: Best Film of the Year.

Faster Recognition: Immediate selection and award notifications mean your work gets the attention it deserves without long delays.

IMDB Verified & International Prestige: A.C.H.I.F.F. is an IMDB‑verified festival, ensuring that every official selection and award is formally recognized.

Over the years, we have attracted submissions from filmmakers whose works have been screened at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and awards, including the Academy Awards (U.S.), Sitges, Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Cannes, Sundance, and Tribeca.

This growing network of creators highlights the festival’s reputation as a trusted platform for independent voices in horror, crime, and beyond.

✨ Submit your film today and join a festival that celebrates bold storytelling, nurtures independent talent, and brings unforgettable visions to the screen.

Florence Short Film Festival is an event dedicated to short films.

Born as a limelight for young independent directors, it quickly established itself as an international festival, counting among its guests and jurors great personalities from the world of academicism and film criticism, as well as renowned actors, dubbers and producers. Every year hundreds of directors from all over the world have submitted their works to be selected and run for the three categories of “Fiction”, “Animation” and “Documentary”, and thus compete for the Jury Prize (with cash prize) and for the Audience Award.

Throughout its eight editions, Florence Short Film Festival has received the patronage of the most important local institutions (the Municipality of the City of Florence and the Tuscany Region) and, more importantly, has been able to intercept a large transversal audience that has voted its loyalty to the festival every year: the audience of FSFF numbers hundreds of people and embraces both the university student who wants to live the cultural life of the city, and to the cinephile who wants to discover the directors of tomorrow, thanks to the varied proposal that the festival can offer.

Since the 8th edition Florence Short Film Festival is proud to offer masterclasses by guests of the caliber of Alessandro Roia, Giovanni Veronesi, Gianfranco Pannone and Alessandro Rak, demonstrating that teaching is a fundamental point for training the new directors of tomorrow and that the dissemination of cinematographic knowledge is at the basis of the intentions of the festival.

The 10th edition of the Florence Short Film Festival (6th, 7th, 8th February 2024 at the Cinema La Compagnia, Firenze) aims to bring the event to a further level by strengthening the internationality of the proposal, consolidating and expanding the public and involving famous personalities of Italian and international cinema.
