What is Subtravelling?
Subtravelling is a pioneering short film festival for its innovative features, which brings the short film genre to the TMB transport network.
The festival was born in 2009 as the Mostra Internacional de Curtmetratges del Metro (the International Metro Short Film Festival). It was a bid by the TMB Foundation to democratize culture and revitalize the short film market, bringing a selection of first-rate Catalan and international short films to all citizens, thus promoting social and cultural values among public transport users.
The first edition of Subtravelling was such a resounding success that, the following year, TMB decided to continue innovating, with the intention of promoting local creation and offering new filmmakers a space to develop their creativity and showcase their talent.
This is how Roda a TMB was born, the section of the festival in which filmmakers have to use their ingenuity to shoot a short film in which, in some way, TMB's transports appear.
Over the years, Subtravelling has not stopped growing. And with a strong desire to cross borders and become international, in 2016 it partnered with the Seoul Metro International Subway Film Festival (SMIFF), a festival with which it shares characteristics: both are the only short film festivals in the world in which the metro and public transport are the protagonists.
Today, Subtravelling keeps the commitment with which it was born intact, and still takes a step further to become more professional. That is why in 2020 the festival has been renamed Subtravelling 11th International New Talents Short Film Fest BARCELONA - SEOUL. The aim is to become an international projection platform for filmmaking talent from Barcelona.
The Latin American Film Festival of Bordeaux, France, was born in 1983, aiming at promoting quality films not or little broadcasted in France.
It started at a time when Latin American Cinema was completely missing in French movie theaters. For some years now, we are glad to witness that Latin American Film production has greatly grown and entered distribution channels in Europe. However, our mission does not end, as Latin American films are still not present enough and the richness they offer makes us believe, every year, that our Festival has still a great mission to accomplish.
The Latin American Film Festival of Bordeaux, since it was created, has gathered more than 65.000 people, of all ages, rushing to meet our more than 2.500 professionals invited throughout our history (directors, producers, technicians, lecturers...), to attend to more than 100 concerts, art exhibitions, workshops... and to participate to more than 300 meetings and conferences, and unforgettable moments.
Bharat International Film Festival did its first year award ceremony in Mumbai,India.
Bharat International Film Festival aims at providing a common platform to the cinemas across the world to project the excellence of the art of film making and promote new movie makers, exchange of knowledge, information, ideas & culture between India & other nations in context of their social and cultural ethos. It also promotes friendship and co-operation among people of the world through the medium of films & documentaries.
Though the film festivals have become a regular affair in most countries, yet most of them cater only to a selected audience as well as entertain the commercially successful film makers and related personalities. However, Bharat International Film Festival intends to organize a festival that connects the film fans & movie goers with the world, especially the serious filmmakers & their associates so as to bring about greater understanding of the art of film making.
Bharat International Film Festival has one wing of Dosti Cinema.
Dosti Cinema has taken up a responsibility of releasing selective Indian Movies that are participating in BIFF . Dosti Cinema has created a network of around 10 lakhs peoples of social cinema lovers. Dosti Cinema will try to make them your audience for the movie so that your cinema can get real audience for whom you have made this movie. It is supported by more than 100 NGO, Schools and Colleges.
