Indy Film Fest was founded in 2004 to celebrate the art of cinema and to create a shared experience around film in Indianapolis. We are a non-profit, international, independent film festival programming both features and shorts. Our all-volunteer staff strives to bring the best films the industry has to offer to our community from home and abroad. Our programmers aim to foster new talent and help filmmakers connect with the global industry. We are also dedicated to educating and developing audiences for international and independent cinema in Indy, screening the kind of innovative, visionary work that may not normally achieve distribution in this area.
Indy Film Fest is looking for the best independent features and shorts no matter the category or genre including: live action, animated, drama, comedy, narrative, documentary, horror, sci-fi, and experimental. Our annual festival spanning over 10+ days typically programs around 25 features and 100 short films, with over 90% from submissions.
Always growing and adapting, the Indy Film Fest began as the three-day Indianapolis International Film Festival in 2004. We quickly expanded to our current 10-day format in 2006, moved our festivities to the summer in 2009, changed our name to the Indy Film Fest in 2014, and since 2018 have been back home in our original spring timeframe. Due to COVID-19 our 2020 and 2021 festivals were primarily virtual and our 2022 and 2023 festivals were hybrid 5-day in-person festivals followed by virtual availability and concluding with award-winner in-person screenings on the final weekend. That format is our goal for the 2024 festival and before selection decisions are made filmmakers will be informed of any changes to dates or format and given the opportunity to request their submission fee be applied to a future festival if those changes are not acceptable.
Alumni of the Indy Film Fest (and Indianapolis International Film Festival) are eligible for a reasonable number of free submissions. Films with significant ties to Indiana are eligible for drastically reduced submission fees. Examples of eligibility include the director or writer being a current Indiana resident or native, or the film being primarily shot within Indiana. Please contact submissions@indyfilmfest.org to see if you are eligible for either of these opportunities.

Welcome to the Radical Frame Film Series - 2024 Short Film Series - Berlin
We at the Radical Frame Film Festival are proud to announce edition ten of Short Film Series.
The idea for the Radical Frame Film Festival started a few years ago when a group of Denver activists, artists, and friends decided to bring the messages of video activist cinema into the public eye. We feel that due to the current social and political climate, both locally and globally, our mission -- to provide a forum for thought provoking films and debates -- is more critical than ever.
We are committed to presenting progressive, leftist, radical, anti-racist, experimental, and visionary films that address issues including, but not limited to, the environment, human rights, social injustice, anti-globalization, etc…
The Radical Frame Film Festival showcases every genre of independent film from across the world during this incredible bi-continental celebration of independent artists.
The Radical Frame Film Festival is a forum where filmmakers can thrive outside the mainstream arena. Creative artists who continuously break the boundaries in film, video, art and music are promoted through this festival so they, too, have a voice in a market saturated with commercial entertainment designed to satisfy audience expectations.

The purpose is to allow anyone regardless of country, to step to their dreams and start taking the steps to live life with passion and purpose.

The Kansas City Underground Film Festival is dedicated to bringing the work of independent filmmakers with unique and underappreciated visions to the people of Kansas City.
The Kansas City Underground Film Festival accepts films in every genre, on any topic, from every country worldwide. Our programming emphasizes low-budget (or no-budget) features and short films across all genres. All films are eligible regardless of completion date or premiere status.
The Kansas City Underground Film Festival is broken up into two sections; "in competition" and "for your consideration".
The films selected for the "in competition" section will be screened in pairings over a 5 day period with audience and jury awards announced on the final day. These films will include feature-length films (60+ minutes) and a shorts program (less than 60 minutes). The number of films selected will depend on scheduling and the number of qualifying submissions.
The films selected in the "for your consideration" section will be screened outside of the 5 day competition period and will not be eligible for awards. This program will include feature-length films (60+ minutes) and shorts (less than 60 minutes) that our programming committee has deemed unique or thought-provoking, but are unlikely to stand out in a festival environment. The purpose of this section is to highlight distinctive voices that are pushing boundaries and innovating the art form. "For your consideration" screenings are year-round. Scheduling is dependant on filmmakers and venue availability.
Event dates are subject to change. All submissions will be notified if changes are necessary.
Palma Mountain Film Festival (Mallorca) open the 2024 call for entries for the competitive short film section, which aims to promote and publicise short films on mountains sports (mountaineering, expeditions, climbing, caving...), mountain nature and ethnography.
Our short film show intends to celebrate and disseminate the film creation made by women.
We want to create a diverse and heterogeneous show, we will not value positively that the theme of the short film is related to gender, because we want to exhibit the feminine creation in its pure gesture, for its cinematic value and not for its theme.
We will value positively that the director can attend the exhibition, since our intention is to create a dialogue with the public about the work of the directors.
We invite you to submit your LGBTQ+ themed films to the 15th edition of KASHISH Pride Film Festival which will be held from May 15-19, 2024 in Mumbai. The festival is organized by KASHISH Arts Foundation, a not-for-profit trust working towards mainstreaming queer issues through cinema and arts.

KASHISH PFF, now considered South Asia’s biggest LGBTQ film festival and one of world’s top 5 coolest LGBTQ film festival, has over the past 14 editions become one of the biggest pride events in India.
Founded in 2010, the festival has grown from strength to strength, attracting close to 9000 footfalls over the 4 1/2 days of the festival at two/three venues. The festival, every year, has screened 110 - 180 films that include shorts, documentaries, features - all centered around LGBTQ themes. The festival also attracts topline Bollywood celebrities, prominent filmmakers and media personalities, and receives every year over 150 write-ups in mainstream press in India and globally.
KASHISH 2024 Festival Theme: UNFURL YOUR PRIDE
At the end of May of 2024, la Florida will host the 6th edition of FILMSERÈ - International Short Film Festival of La Florida. This project is perfect for the students of the subject of Cinema that is carried out in the Institut Eduard Fontserè high school, of the own neighborhood, with the guidance of two teachers linked to the world of cinema. It is an event organized by neighbors to neighbors, where the other residents of L'Hospitalet, Barcelona and elsewhere are also invited. It is an international festival, with big open-air screenings, where short films received from all over the world will participate, and which for the moment has received the support of the Pla Integral Les Planes-Blocs Florida of l'Hospitalet City Council.
Short films of all kinds will be screened, with a single requirement: that they be of the highest quality and with high doses of entertainment. Fiction, documentary, animation and experimental shorts and video clips are accepted. There are several prizes, some of them in cash, and among them a special award for the best short film on social issues.
Apart from an official jury formed by people related to the world of cinema and the arts, we will also have a jury of neighbors, a young jury, a grand jury, a jury of associations and social entities of the neighborhood and a student jury. Our ambition is not to create a small event, but a festival that has nothing to envy those of other parts of the territory. The festival has both open air and indoor screenings. Public attendance in 2021 was 400 spectators along six sessions, and 500 spectators in 2022 along 5 sessions.
Our goal remains the same for the past 25 years, which is to connect in a meaningful way, to learn how to be more impactful to the needs of artists and our greater community. We honour the original vision of the Dreamspeakers founders to be a resource for Aboriginal filmmakers, for directors, scriptwriters, cameramen, technicians, actors, musicians, storytellers, artists and craftspeople. We create more opportunities for Aboriginal youth and make a better impact on arts, culture and our collective identity. And we do it all here in Edmonton.
