by
Sombra
After a series of private screenings for film/video/art groups,

The main purpose of those screenings was to test the cut and gather
both general and specific criticism for the movie in order to help us
polish the editing, and therefore, the narrative. The screenings have
also smoothed out o...

Film posters have been used since the earliest public exhibitions of film.

films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater. By the early 1900s,

To understand a dream we must examine it from every aspect -
just as you might take an unknown object in your hands and turn it over
and over until you are familiar with every detail of its shape. so you
can understand form with out time.
There are 2 kinds of electricity, playful static and lightning. Our
feasts are the moments we become the needle, sewing our reed roofs,
making these s...

In my body you search the mountain for the sun buried in it's forest.
In your body I search for the boat adrift in the middle of the night.

ARES Film & Media Festival was born in 2009 in Syracuse, Italy.
It promotes a connection between the world of art and culture and that of new technologies and social responsibility.
The main purpose of the ARES (Art and Social Responsibility) Festival is the promotion of the visual culture and multimedia languages as a vehicle for social cohesion through the creation of an open supporting network aimed at encouraging, helping and linking all the expressions
and positive experiences which can spread the values of pluralism and general well being in the cultural and social fields.
The Festival organizes a debate on the means of social responsibility through conferences
and seminars concerning the social, scientific and environmental fields. It stimulates the meeting of multimedia projects and promotes moments of confrontation on issues concerning the investment in culture as a unique element of communication and building corporate identity
and growth of core values in an organization.
The 3rd ARES Film & Media Festival will take place on next summer - 30th July - 2nd August 2011 - in Syracuse (Italy).
The participation in 3rd ARES Festival is free and open to all video makers who have come of age.
In competition short and long films are admitted.

In the world of entertainment today, mainly speaking of film, it's a tough place to find originality. Hollywood films are losing that touch of creativity. It may not seem so when it comes to applying the technological advances in the art. When it comes to story, plot, characters, it seems as if we've heard it all before.
So what do we turn to? Mainstream Hollywood is losing its touch, it's time to look into independent film festivals where we could find the filmmakers of today, living ...
