LA PECCA -Small Environmental Film Contest- was born in 2007 by the DeFrente Association.

The main purpose of this project is to promote respect for sexual and gender diversity through cinema, contributing to the development of a plural and inclusive society.
Taking a quality film event as a vehicle, we show plural life stories and encourage people to visibly live their sexual and gender identity, to promote social awareness and claim at the same time the right of the LGTBIQ + community to be present in culture and in society equally.

We also give visibility and support to quality cinematography, promoting the discovery of new talents.

ASOCIACIÓN DEFRENTE is a non-profit organization in Seville that was established in 2006. Since its inception, its objectives have been aimed at serving the lesbian, gay, transsexual and bisexual community in response to a social demand by being this group in a situation of marginalization and discrimination in many areas of daily life.

NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is a film festival that is held by the Short Movie Club, the platform for cinematic projects.

NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is an exploration of aestheticization and commodification in art. The aim of the festival is to expose the complexity, manysidedness, and variety of filmmaking.

Originally the festival was held in Belarus, but because of political repression and publicly stated anti-war stance, screenings and events can be held in different countries. First of all Poland, Lithuania, and Georgia.

We involve theater, artists to interpret symbols and history. We work with the audience's reaction and participants' as well.

Before you read the festival philosophy and history, let know worth reasons to be part of NEFILTRAVANAE KINO:

CONSIDERATION AND SHOWING
Your film is placed greater focus on and given due consideration. The movie will be shown on state-of-the-art film projection equipment on the large screen at the cinema theatre.

THE AUDIENCE, CROWDFUNDING
the Short Movie Club audience reached an amount 70k of filmmakers, students of film schools, cinema lovers, and film industry members from all over the world http://shortmovie.club/mediazone/
the Short Movie Club helps with crowdfunding campaigns of our selected participants.
http://shortmovie.club/crowdfunding/

REVIEW, COMMENTS, FEEDBACK
An in-depth review of the best films will be published with IMDb rating. We compile comments of viewers, cinephiles and experts. We establish connections between the filmmaker and the audience.

PARTY — AFTERPARTY
Yes, a party every day. It is the main reason…
--------------------------------------------------------
The concept of the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (Unfiltered Cinema):
ALIENATION PROBLEM
We live in a world of malls and cinema multiplexes. We see that indie cinema and non-commodity art go to the periphery of public attention. Primitive attractions replace the cinematography. The escape audience is alienated behind the big screen. So modern mainstream cinema is part of a manipulating tool that leads to the society of alienation. Thus the tendency is that indie cinema becomes more unreadable for the wide audience. We should understand the context of the filmmaker to understand the independent cinema. That is why the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO concept implies the physical presence of filmmakers.

FILM SELECTION PROBLEM
Filmmakers shoot millions of movies. And thousands of short film festivals organize screenings all over the world every year. On average, several thousand films are submitted to a film festival. So various good films can be neglected for whatever reason. Often selecting probability is like winning a lottery. As a result, filmmakers are left with no feedback. It is a paradox that no one can hear you in the age of the Internet! The mainstream culture prefers attractions and casual viewing.

Also, this idea is based on the film selection problem. Perhaps it’s no surprise one person, i.e. programme director at best, or even students of film schools make a preliminary decision to select a movie. Сoncordance of judges or previewers is more seldom thing than the difference of background, tastes. So selection or judging can be one-sided or perfunctory. It is not bad as the programme director has a good taste and aesthetic sensitivity, of course. But we’ve discovered another conception of “unfiltered cinema”. We matched it against “the best of the best” way. This way aids to perceive cinematic idiom without the dictate of art-curators.

CELEBRATION OF INDIE CINEMA
So the Unfiltered Cinema Film Festival tries to avoid “the best of the best” way but it does not ignore it completely, sure. The festival selects fiction, animation, documentary, experimental and virtual reality sections. A jury awards the best film in every section. The festival holds the screenings at cinema theatres, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts, and art-spaces.

Our aim is to gather people in art, to have a dialogue to be happy with smart communication. Cinema is art but not sport. The key point of our project is to establish communication between the filmmaker and the audience.

Please, read about the festival history through the link to the festival's website. http://shortmovie.club/history/

The project aims to provide building of Cinema-van mobile library amphibia https://www.behance.net/gallery/33392769/Cinema-van-Mobile-library-Amphibia

The Aguilar de Campoo Short Film Festival is consolidated as one of the most veteran and relevant film citations in our country in its genre. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts of Spain, includes it as one of the key festivals for the selection of short films that will compete in the Goya Awards. Throughout the last editions the festival has been making important decisions that commit it to the cinema of our country. In his thirteenth edition he published his manifesto where he exhibited his philosophy and commitment to film. He made the decision to pay for selection to the selected short films thus eliminating economic competition in order to encourage artistic creation and production. Its screening rooms are open to international cinema including all genres, fiction, documentary animation and experimental cinema. In 2016 the festival received recognition from the AIC (Short Film Industry Association). This certificate is an annual distinction to differentiate and reward festivals that perform an exemplary role in the dissemination, protection and professionalization of cinema and its industry, and especially of the short film. This is the first time this certification has been granted and is the result of more than a year of work tables and conversations with festivals, filmmakers and other professionals from across the country in order to develop a guide to good behaviors towards the short film and its creators. The basic objectives of this distinction are to educate new generations of filmmakers and protect model festivals, recognizing their dedication and rigor. We seek the encounter and exchange between professionals and the public as a form of cultural enrichment.

ZINEBI- International Festival of Documentary adn Short Film of Bilbao

ZINEBI is the only Class A international festival in the documentary and short film category in Spain. It is accredited by the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifier for the Oscars, for the European Film Academy’s awards, for the British BAFTAs and for the Spanish Academy’s Goyas.

Created in 1959 by the Basque Institute of Hispanic Culture, attached to the Spanish Foreign Ministry, the International Ibero-American and Filipino International Documentary Film Contest (its original name) was devised to follow in the steps of San Sebastián, which had been set up six years earlier. It is the third oldest festival in the Spanish State, after San Sebastián and Valladolid, and the first amongst those in its field. Between 1972 and 1981, it became a platform to discuss Spanish short films and a space for the dissemination of productions from all over the world, and particularly Latin America. In 1974, it was recognised by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) as a contest of the highest international competitive category. Between 1975 and 1980, it was the ideal forum to discuss the arrival of what would be known as Basque cinema.

In 1981, the festival passed to the hands of Bilbao City Council. Since the year 2000, it embarked on a new era under the ZINEBI brand, when it would consolidate its position as one of the most important international festivals in its speciality. It has strived to be a platform for Spanish and Basque producers and directors and has contributed, as one of its fundamental goals, to internationally promoting the quality and independent films made around the world: films whose creative ambition is not exhausted by merely repeating hackneyed stylistic characteristics. Thanks to these very free and exceptional works, ZINEBI continues to renew its commitment each year to formal experimentation, to the interdisciplinary and hybrid of the new audiovisual productions, to support for the up-and-coming producers, and to filmmakers’ aesthetic and ethical scrutiny of the increasingly more complex realities of our contemporary world.

Throughout its long history, the festival has welcomed to Bilbao some of the most prestigious professionals of independent filmmaking worldwide. The accolades of ZINEBI include the names of Jacques Demy, Richard Lester, Pierre Pérrault, Claude Lelouch, Gian Vittorio Baldi, Carroll Ballard, Fernando Birri, Estela Bravo, Santiago Álvarez, Valeria Sarmiento, Robert L. Drew, Felipe Cazals, Peter Watkins, Peter Mullan, Lourdes Portillo, Avi Mograbi, Sergei Loznitsa, Lászsló Nemes, Nele Wohlatz and Luise Donschen. Thanks to its critical debate and specialisation, the festival has been a test bed for the new trends of contemporary cinema and a useful platform for the most daring filmmakers.

A similar headcount of the ranks of Spanish cinema reveals that the Bilbao Festival has been the launchpad of several generations of filmmakers: Carlos Saura, Basilio M. Patino, Pío Caro Baroja, José Val del Omar, Javier Aguirre, Jaime Chávarri, Francesc Betriu, Nadia Werba, Imanol Uribe, Montxo Armendáriz, Pedro Almodóvar, Julio Medem, Fernando León de Aranoa, Juanma Bajo Ulloa, Javier Rebollo, Santiago Segura, Begoña Vicario, Jon Garaño, José María Goenaga, Virginia García del Pino, Neus Ballús, Koldo Almandoz, Isabel Herguera, Asier Altuna, Izibene Oñederra and Natalia Marín.

The festival’s guests, international jury members and winners of the Mikeldi of Honour, its top annual award, include Peter Greenaway, Ennio Morricone, Jean Rouch, Dino Risi, Luis García Berlanga, Hanna Schygulla, Anna Karina, Jane Birkin, Arturo Ripstein, Elías Querejeta, Richard Lester, Pavel Paulikowski, Márta Mészáros, Jeanne Moreau, Anthony Hopkins, Vannessa Redgrave, Emir Kusturica, Liliana Cavani, Carlos Saura, Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, Jean-Claude Carrière, Patrice Chéreau, Cecilia Roth, Hirokazu Kore-Eda, Juan Ruiz Anchía, Aki Kaurismäki, Marco Bellocchio, Mariano Llinás, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Wang Bing, Claire Simon, Márta Mészáros, and the Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne brothers.

The different ZINEBI directors down through the years have been: Pedro de Ybarra (1959-1968), José Ignacio Uruñuela (1968-1970), Felipe Alfonso Araico and Adolfo Lafarga (1970-1972), Roberto Negro (1972-1981), Manu Pagola (1981-1985), the Executive Committee made up byr José Julián Bakedano, Ernesto del Río, José Antonio Mingolarra y Santos Zunzunegui (1985-1987), Iñaki Acarregui (1987-1988), Luis Iturri (1988-1998) and Ernesto del Río (1999-2017). Vanesa Fernández Guerra has been the director since 2018.

The festival is currently sponsored and institutionally funded by Bilbao City Council – through the Arriaga Theatre – as the organiser, by the Basque Government’s Department of Culture, by the Spanish Ministry of Culture – through the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts (ICAA)-, and by Bizkaia Provincial Council. ZINEBI is also supported by private and public entities including Basque Public Television (ETB), Azkuna Zentroa, Golem-Alhóndiga Cinemas, the Fine Arts Museum, Guggenheim Museum, the Sala BBK, the Campos Elíseos Theatre, the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the French Institute, the Goethe Institute, the SGAE Foundation-Basque Council and the FAS Film Club.


ZINEBI- Festival Internacional de Cine Documental y Cortometraje de Bilbao

ZINEBI es el único festival internacional de Clase A de España en la categoría de documental y cortometraje. Está acreditado por la Academia de Hollywood como calificador para los premios Oscar, para los premios EFA de la Academia del Cine Europeo, para los premios BAFTA de la Academia Británica y para los premios Goya de la Academia Española.

Creado en 1959 por el Instituto Vascongado de Cultura Hispánica, dependiente del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, el Certamen Internacional de Cine Documental Iberoamericano y Filipino de Bilbao (su nombre inicial) fue concebido como hermano menor del Festival de San Sebastián, que había nacido seis años antes. Es, tras el de San Sebastián y el de Valladolid, el tercero más antiguo del Estado y el primero entre los de su especialidad. Entre 1972 y 1981 se convirtió en una plataforma de debate sobre el cortometraje español y en un espacio para la difusión de las cinematografías más variopintas, en especial la latinoamericana. En 1974 obtuvo el reconocimiento de la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones de Productores (FIAPF) como certamen de la máxima categoría internacional competitiva, y entre 1975 y 1980 fue el lugar de debate idóneo para el alumbramiento de lo que empezó a conocerse como cine vasco.

A partir de 1981 el festival fue asumido por el Ayuntamiento de Bilbao y desde el año 2000, bajo la marca de ZINEBI, emprendió una nueva época en la que ha consolidado su posición como uno de los festivales internacionales más importantes de su especialidad, desde la que intenta servir de plataforma a realizadores y directoras de Euskadi y el Estado y ha contribuido, como uno de sus objetivos fundamentales, a la promoción internacional del cine independiente y de calidad que se realiza en los cinco continentes: películas cuya ambición creativa no se agota en la repetición de rasgos estilísticos estereotipados, obras muy libres y singulares que permiten a ZINEBI renovar anualmente su apuesta por la experimentación formal, por la condición híbrida e interdisciplinar de las nuevas producciones audiovisuales, el apoyo a los realizadores emergentes, y la indagación ética y estética de los cineastas en las cada vez más complejas realidades de nuestro mundo contemporáneo.

A lo largo de la dilatada historia del festival, han pasado por Bilbao algunos de los más prestigiosos profesionales del cine independiente mundial. En el palmarés de ZINEBI destacan los nombres de Jacques Demy, Richard Lester, Pierre Pérrault, Claude Lelouch, Gian Vittorio Baldi, Carroll Ballard, Fernando Birri, Estela Bravo, Santiago Álvarez, Valeria Sarmiento, Robert L. Drew, Felipe Cazals, Peter Watkins, Peter Mullan, Lourdes Portillo, Avi Mograbi, Sergei Loznitsa, Lászsló Nemes, Nele Wohlatz, Luise Donschen o Fern Silva. El festival, desde el debate crítico y la especialización, ha servido de banco de pruebas de las nuevas tendencias del cine contemporáneo y una plataforma útil para los cineastas más arriesgados.

Un recuento similar entre las filas del cine español, permite señalar que en el Festival de Bilbao han emergido realizadores de varias generaciones distintas: Carlos Saura, Basilio M.

Given the expansion of the possibilities of graphic processes that we have experienced in recent decades, printmaking has found in animation a field of action with enormous possibilities. We are talking here about animations made entirely with some of the traditional techniques of engraving or that employ in their partial or total realization, processes of seriality and repetition.

We could say that the most used technique is the stop motion that consists of the work of successive images of an action that when joining them together create motion. All graphic processes can be worked on to move on to animation. This is one of the reasons of the increasing interest in these specific proposals. In Cali.gráfica, we want to present national and international audiovisual works that allow us to have a broad overview of what is currently happening in this specific field of creation. We named this call "Cali.gráfica en movimiento" and we invite you to participate, the material sent will be projected in various spaces in the city of Cali, Colombia.

La Axarquía Film Festival

Málaga , Spain

Deadline
10 Sep 2022

 Does NOT have submission fees
Short films


Start of the festival: October 6, 2023 End of the festival: October 23, 2023

“La Axarquía Film Festival”, annual and unique in the Andalusian audiovisual scene, will take place in the region of La Axarquía, Málaga, Spain.

Its main objective is to bring cinema and its production closer to rural municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants in the Axarquía, promoting these territories as cultural tourist destinations.

There where the cinema does not reach, where the nearest theater is in a shopping center kilometers away and where people nostalgically remember the cinemas of yesteryear where neighbors and families gathered around the big screen, "La Axarquía Film Festival" wants to turn the streets, squares and churches of these towns into outdoor film festivals.

The Festival will have its Opening Gala in Almáchar, where the works that will compete in the different official sections and the programming and activities and workshops that will take place during the Festival will be announced. With an itinerant program in the municipalities hosting the Festival. The municipality where the Closing Gala will be held will be announced shortly, in which the works awarded by the juries of the different sections will be announced and the awards of the different sections of the Festival contest will be delivered.

The screenings will take place, as far as possible, in open-air public spaces. The idea is to recover the festive atmosphere of the festivals of the past, combining them with the magic of summer cinemas. Chairs, banners, bars outside the bars, red carpets around the squares. The Festival dresses the entire town in celebration to welcome all the residents in a unique and unrepeatable event.

"Axarquía Film Festival" seeks to consolidate itself as a showcase for new works and second works by new directors and directors from all over Spain and the region..
