Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken, Bankok, Quito (Ecuador), Tucuman (Argentina) and now Urbino, as also with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents some Hundrets films over the year coming from around 60 countries.
The Festival is searching films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 23 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.

12th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-22, Delhi NCR, Índia
Celebrando a excelência no cinema
O Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival é um festival de cinema independente sem fins lucrativos, não comercial e da Índia, estabelecido no ano de 2011 em Delhi NCR com a missão de celebrar o cinema e o trabalho de aspirantes, jovens, independentes e profissionais cineastas. O festival é importante para a indústria cinematográfica indiana, pois é organizado em 30 de abril de cada ano para marcar o aniversário de nascimento do Late.Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, que é considerado o pai do Indian Cinema e com carinho lembrado como Dada Saheb Phalke pela fraternidade cinematográfica em toda a Índia e globo. Seu objetivo é reconhecer o cinema iluminador, divertido e progressivo da nova era de cineastas jovens e experientes.
Nos últimos anos, o festival ganha reputação e considerado como um dos mais prestigiados festivais da Índia. O festival cresce ao longo dos anos e atrai cineastas de toda a Índia e mais de 90 nações em todo o mundo. O festival tem seções para longas-metragens, curtas-metragens, documentários, animações, videoclipes e filmes publicitários. O festival premia os cineastas em categorias de produção, criatividade, música e performance.
12º Festival de Cinema Dada Saheb Phalke-2022 visa celebrar a excelência no cinema. Dada Saheb Phalke iniciou o movimento do cinema na Índia no sentido real e ele é o símbolo da excelência. Sua contribuição para o cinema indiano é inparalela. Hoje, o cinema indiano está tocando o céu em termos de conteúdo e tecnologia, mas vale a pena mencionar que foi iniciado pela lendária Dada Saheb Phalke e estamos apenas carregando isso adiante.
Fundada pela Educationexpo TV, uma empresa líder em pesquisa e branding de entretenimento e gerenciada pelo Miniboxoffice, Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival-22 oferece chance aos cineastas mostrarem sua criatividade. Enquanto o festival está aberto a cineastas de todas as idades, sentimos que, assim como é imperativo que apoiemos e incentivamos a participação de membros da comunidade de cinema e profissionais, também é importante que encontremos e cultivemos os futuros membros da indústria do entretenimento.
Desde 2013, o Festival Internacional de Cinema sobre Direitos Humanos — Colômbia oferece ao público um programa audiovisual, cultural e acadêmico que contribui para o desenvolvimento do público, o fortalecimento das indústrias cinematográfica e cultural, a criação de espaços para o diálogo sobre a vida, a reconciliação, a promoção e defesa dos direitos humanos e a construção de ideias para a paz.
O Festival é a plataforma ideal para a comunidade cinematográfica colombiana e internacional comprometida em contar histórias com uma perspectiva de direitos humanos. Ele serve como um espaço fundamental para a promoção, circulação, distribuição e exibição de obras audiovisuais com demanda comercial limitada devido ao seu foco social e temático.

Top 50 Film Festivals Worth The Entry Fee
25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World
“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle
“Sundance may have sold out, but SF IndieFest keeps it real” – Annie Lo, Flavorpill
“While the Bay Area is flush with festivals, this one remains an under-the-radar standout.” – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
“The San Francisco Independent Film Festival, the Bay Area’s version of Slamdance, provides a showcase for edgy cinematic work — and a great excuse to do some serious partying.” – David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
"The movie business is in a perennial state of constant tension between ambition and collaboration, joyful inventiveness and jaw-dropping paydays. This roiling undercurrent, usually invisible to the public, gushes to the surface in the run-up to the Academy Awards ceremony. There is an antidote, however, to Hollywood’s annual backslapathon: SF IndieFest. The San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a beacon to anybody excited by the basic impulse of making movies. In its heart of hearts, IndieFest is a celebration of the minor miracle of finishing a film and getting it up on a screen in front of a live audience." - Michael Fox, KQED
“For many independent filmmakers, festivals such as SF Indiefest—aka the San Francisco Independent Film Festival–are the only way to bring their works before an audience. For filmgoers, SF Indiefest is the place to see original cinematic works created by directors who want to tell edgy stories which come from their hearts and souls. While some have bemoaned the death of cinema, the curators and filmmakers at SF Indiefest are keeping the craft of film alive.” – David Elijah Nahmod, SF SOUNDS
“SF IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program and take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece, but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise.” -Michael Fox, KQED

FILMMAKER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
"Hey Jeff: Just want to shoot you a quick note of thanks on hosting us at IndieFest and giving us our World Premiere. We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the fest and in SF; it's a great vibe and the diversity of features and shorts in the program made for a really exciting and energized atmosphere. "- Max Gardner, Go/Don't Go
"Festivals bring unexpected benefits. Festivals are essential for brand creation. Premiering at Tribeca was enough to convince people to at least listen to me, but surprisingly it was the San Francisco Indie Fest that was just as crucial for our theatrical release. Our press from this festival helped convince the Red Vic to book us in April (I thank the amazing S.F. publicist Karen Larsen for convincing me of this in advance). We also incorporated festivals into our broader theatrical release, and while we did not claim them as cities in our 17-city count, they helped give us something to crow about."

"I've got to tell you that Indiefest was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I tell all filmmakers - and festival organizer friends of mine - how you run your fest and how you run each film twice. Every single time people look at me with shocked disbelief. Truly, Bonnie and I loved being a part of the event.
Thanks again for including us. SF Indiefest really made me feel that making YEAR was worth the whole effort.
Best-MIKE CARROLL"
