Silk Road International Film Festival (SRFF) is held annually during the month of March in Dublin, Ireland.
The Silk Road Film Festival celebrates cinema, culture and art, presenting films from regions, which were once part of the historical network of the Silk Road ancient trade routes and focuses in particular on Asian, Arab, Persian, African, Mediterranean and European cinema. The festival is held in Ireland to promote cinema of the Silk Road internationally and to facilitate international contacts between filmmakers thus narrowing distances between people and cultures, breaking boundaries and fostering cross-cultural collaboration and social change. World renowned filmmakers attend each year to give master classes and seminars, such as Bela Tarr, Mahmoud Kalari, Tony Kearns, Alex Oh and Vittorio Storaro.
The 7th Silk Road International Film Festival will have film screenings, premieres, exhibitions, panels, chats with industry guests, free courses and workshops.
*All films screened at the Silk Road International Film Festival have an opportunity to win a video on demand distribution agreement with Silk Road ON DEMAND (www.silkroadondemand.com)

“Memória do Futuro/La mémoire de l'avenir”
O Centro de Memória Comum para Democracia e Paz (CMCDP), uma associação nacional de direitos humanos com alcance internacional, abre a chamada para inscrições de filmes para a 15ª edição do Festival Internacional de Cinema e Memória Comum (FICMEC), a ser realizada na cidade de Nador de 30 de outubro a 4 de novembro de 2026.
O CMCDP opera nos seguintes campos de ação:
Questões relacionadas à memória e à memória compartilhada como conhecimento e expertise;
Disseminação de uma cultura de paz, convivência e democracia;
A luta contra todas as formas de extremismo;
Defesa dos direitos humanos e contribuição para a disseminação de sua cultura;
Questões de identidade e diversidade linguística e cultural;
Consolidação e desenvolvimento de valores de solidariedade e diálogo construtivo entre povos e nações;
Apoio a todas as gerações de direitos humanos.
A cada ano, a FICMEC propõe uma reflexão temática ligada à memória. Nesta edição, o tema central será “Memória do Futuro”, inspirado nas palavras de Victor Hugo: “O futuro é uma porta, o passado é a chave” e na ideia de Roman Krznaric de que o futuro não é um lugar para onde vamos, mas um lugar que estamos criando.
A memória não é um exercício de nostalgia nem um olhar ancorado no passado. É uma responsabilidade coletiva. Preservar, explicar e transmitir episódios históricos, especialmente os mais dolorosos, é dever das instituições e da sociedade como um todo: famílias, associações, defensores dos direitos humanos, artistas e educadores. Compreender o passado é um ato consciente de se preparar para o futuro.
“Memória do Futuro” propõe um diálogo permanente entre lembrança e projeção, entre justiça e transformação social. As lutas contra a injustiça, os processos de verdade e reconciliação, a defesa da dignidade humana e a consolidação dos valores democráticos constituem as bases de um amanhã mais justo. Lembrar não é perpetuar o ressentimento, mas sim gerar conscientização, evitar a repetição de violações e fortalecer uma cultura de paz.
As novas gerações ocupam um lugar central nessa visão. Eles não são meramente repositórios de narrativas herdadas, mas agentes ativos capazes de reinterpretar, questionar e projetar a memória em direção ao futuro. A transmissão intergeracional, o pensamento crítico contra a manipulação histórica e o compromisso com os direitos humanos são elementos essenciais dessa construção.
Na esfera artística e cultural, o cinema — seja documentário ou ficcional — se torna um veículo privilegiado para tornar visíveis memórias silenciadas, denunciar injustiças, abrir espaços para o diálogo e contribuir para a transformação social.
Condições temáticas de participação:
Longas-metragens e curtas-metragens (ficção, animação): tema aberto.
Documentários: devem se alinhar especificamente ao tema da nota conceitual “Memória do Futuro”, abordando questões relacionadas à memória, direitos humanos, justiça, transmissão intergeracional, reconciliação, identidade ou construção democrática a partir de uma perspectiva reflexiva e proativa.
Cineastas de todas as nacionalidades são convidados a inscrever trabalhos que contribuam para pensar sobre o futuro por meio da consciência histórica, promovendo valores de justiça, paz, igualdade, coexistência e o papel da juventude nesse processo.
As inscrições de filmes são aceitas exclusivamente por meio de plataformas oficiais de inscrição do festival.
Por meio dessa chamada, o CMCDP e o FICMEC reafirmam seu compromisso com uma memória ativa, ética e transformadora, convencidos de que somente aqueles que assumem a responsabilidade pelo passado podem contribuir para a construção de um futuro mais humano e democrático.

We have representatives in 10 countries including USA, Russia, Sweden, Armenia, Belarus, UK,Belgium, Holland, Arab Emirates and Philippines.
The goal of the NOFI festivals is to find and invite talented film directors to NOFI film studying and producing programs for shooting their films with the help of our sponsors and grants. We then represent, promote and will try to sell the best films from NOFI in the American Film Market, Cannes film market, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and other markets. Winning films can also participate in NOFI sister’s film festivals in Korea, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Russia and Armenia. The winners from each category and diplomas of honor can have the opportunity to show their films (edited versions) at our NOFI film festival on YouTube channel. The best actors from the best films can join our “Accent” International Talent Management. Also the trailers of the awarded films will be in our web site for years, providing more exposure. Our festival helps expose new and emerging directors and actors. NOFI festivals give them an opportunity to present their names in motion pictures studios and be discovered in the film industry worldwide. NOFI is designed to showcase innovative work by new filmmakers who may (or may not) have been overlooked by other festivals. We organize forums and round tables with filmmakers during the NOFI festivals to understand their needs, help solve common problems with film production and discuss their future projects. Our slogan is- “Indie filmmakers without borders.” Many celebrities and representatives from film studios have attended screenings and award ceremonies of NOFI festivals.
