MARATEALE, presieduta da Antonella Caramia e diretta da Nicola Timpone, nasce in seno all'Associazione Cinema del Mediterraneo, creata nel 2014, che da sempre promuove, organizza e produce eventi legati alla cultura, al cinema, alla
sostenibilità e alle tematiche legate all'ambiente, e al ricco territorio della Basilicata. Il cinema, l'audiovisivo, la formazione sono al centro delle attività di MARATEALE che propone un programma denso di eventi, ospiti nazionali e internazionali che interloquiscono con il pubblico, i giovani e gli addetti ai lavori. Una settimana di programmazione con titoli in anteprima, eventi, master class e incontri con gli autori per approfondire le numerose tematiche che attraversano un film, un personaggio, un'idea.
MARATEALE non è solo un Festival, ma molto di più. Nel corso delle edizioni è diventato un importante punto di riferimento per giovani appassionati di cinema, per artisti e professionisti del cinema e dell'audiovisivo, con un'attenzione particolare nei confronti di autori della Basilicata. Ma è diventato anche networking per produttori e addetti ai lavori che durante la manifestazione approfondiscono e condividono idee e opinioni, dando vita a vere e proprie "giornate industry".

BAKUNAWA FEST (formerly Bakunawa Young Cinema) is the first fantastic and genre-based film, art & music festival in the Philippines and the longest-running fantastic filmfest in Southeast Asia. Bakunawa is a mythical dragon-like creature in Philippine mythology that devoured moons. Because we are a genre-bending film fest, we want to flip the Bakunawa's role and we want it to instead symbolize the creative monsters inside us.
Bakunawa Festival has an annual film camp and series of film workshops for young Filipino filmmakers that culminates into a section of our festival, producing mostly genre films (horror, sci-fi, fantasy, folk, noir, folk, etc). The films that the film camp participants produce competes in a unique section created for young filmmakers.
Bakunawa Fest loves new visions, new voices. We support young promising filmmakers, artists and musicians who either have no access to expensive workshops and may not have the name/recognition to be programmed in a festival. Since our third edition, we have included a section that screens curated local and international films - mainly for educational purposes. Most of the Bakunawa Film Camps are done as outreach programs/workshops and are hosted by different cities in the Philippines.
During the pandemic years and lockdowns from 2020-2022, we have temporarily migrated to mostly online screenings but, in 2023, we shall conduct more live screenings following health protocols. For our tenth edition, we will do a semi-hybrid festival wherein we screen more films in live venues and do a limited program online.
We also continue our partnership with SolarFlix TV wherein we show curated film programs on Philippine Primtime TV, screening to Filipino audiences all over the Philippines reaching to millions of viewers.

NatureTrack Film Festival Announces Dates for 5th Anniversary Edition
New Festival Team Revealed
First Time in Goleta at Fairview Theatre and Return to Los Olivos
Submissions Open Now - Calling for Nature-Centric Films
(Goleta, CA) Celebrating the return of the beloved NatureTrack Film Festival (NTFF) for its 5th year is cause to break out the champagne. Lots of exciting news to reveal like new co-directors for the fest, addition of a development director to the team, add in a new location, official dates, plus call for open submissions to the nature-centric film festival. Most of all, it’s an in-person gathering for the fabulous fifth year.
This great little festival that can is curated with a focus on nature and outdoor-related films – its tag line is Igniting Passion for Nature Through Film. The program will include both feature-length and short films in a wide variety of genres and subjects including documentary, narrative, animation, experimental, conservation, outdoors adventure, student films, and more. Sue Eisaguirre, Founder and Executive Director of NatureTrack Foundation, announced the festival dates will be October 6-8 at Metropolitan’s Fairview Theatre in Goleta for the first time. Eisaguirre stated, “Environmental concerns are in the forefront of our community’s collective conscience, and I believe this festival will further inform all those interested in the natural world about other people who are doing great things around the world. The films will also excite attendees to get outdoors, connect with the natural world and enjoy the elixirs nature offers!” Fun for the family. In addition to the three-day event in Goleta, NTFF will screen the award-winning films in Los Olivos, where the festival all began, for a ‘Best of the Fest’ one day event the following weekend. Location for this event will be announced soon.
Leading the emerging film festival are the new Festival Directors, Mitchka Saberi and Francisco Lopez. They both graduated from UCSB where Eisaguirre connected with them through Film & Media Studies professor Chris Jenkins. The team went on to collaborate on a short documentary co-produced by NatureTrack, and the 15-minute short doc made the rounds to film festivals in 2022 picking up several awards. Saberi said, “We found working with Sue was a great experience. When she asked us to consider becoming the directors of the festival, we didn’t have to think very long to say yes!” Joining them is the new Development Director Gareth Kelly who has also collaborated with Lopez and Saberi in the past on several film projects as a producer. They are all looking forward to bringing the film festival to the Goleta and Santa Barbara communities.
Film submissions are open now on FilmFreeway. The early deadline for submissions is March 5th, and submissions will stay open until the last deadline of June 30th.
