their art as well as promotes high-quality international animation

festival. The festival consists of the short animation competitive
programme and several special programmes. Traditions include lectures by
foreign guests, meetings and workshops.

enthusiastic. Now, conscious of the creative capacities of the
participants, we turn on a new stage. From the ANG we want to invite you
to a new adventure, an adventure that has to show us the problems, the
victories, the dangers and the hopes of our environment in short

everything that happens in this thin layer where the human being is
related to their environment and other species, in short, where life
reaches its maximum. With the aim of showing the whole range of problems
and wonders, has born the Girona Festival Shorts environmental
SOMCURTS. A festival that should allow us to travel to the soul of the

If Košice is identified as the unofficial centre of European local television, then the other, equally important component of the Festival has also acquired this attribute. Apart from the competitive showing of programmes, the Festival has become a prominent place for obtaining new understanding, new knowledge and the professional development and growth of local television. Behind this aspect it's necessary to see the whole array of professional meetings, workshops, panel discussions and lectures dedicated to professional fine-tuning of television workers, and observance of the principles of journalism ethics.
The Festival enjoys high prestige even among well-known filmmakers, which is also proven by the fact that last year it presented world and Slovak premieres of films by globally recognised and prize-winning directors. The Košice Festival regularly includes some unique premieres. Of these, we can mention e.g. the world premiere of the documentary by Eugene Chaplin „My Tribute“; the Czechoslovak premiere of the film „Nemilovaní“ (Unloved) by Claude Weisz, native of Košice, which had been ‚locked away‘ in the Barrandov treasury for 25 years; or last year’s Czechoslovak premiere of „Space Tourists“,the documentary by the Swiss Oscar-winning director Christian Frei. The organisers try hard to bring to Košice as many interesting and artistically high-quality film premieres as possible. The Festival will last for 4 days and it runs concurrently with other festival programmes. Each venue in which the Festival will be held, will have its own original dramaturgical plan, which will take into account the specific interests of viewers. Similarly to the previous years, Slovak and especially young authors will be given a chance to present their work. One entire screening day will be devoted to Slovak documentaries. Last year’s plentiful attendance of authors, as well as a number of interesting and fruitful debates with viewers, have inspired the Festival organisers to invite as many filmmakers and film producers as possible to this year’s Festival screenings.
Last year, 17 European countries were represented during the Festival programme along with Slovakia

International Children's Film FestivalIndia
(ICFFI)also
popularly known as The Golden Elephant
is a biennial festival that strives to bring the most delightful and
imaginative national and international children's cinema to young audiences in
India. Outstanding features, shorts, live action and animation films are
screened over seven days of festive celebrations, attended by more than one
hundred thousand children and hundreds of film professionals from across the
world.
ICFFI is
organized by Children's Film Society India (CFSI) - a national government body
committed to nurturing a dynamic children's film culture in the country. Since
its inception in 1955, CFSI has been producing, exhibiting and distributing
exclusive, entertaining and enriching content for children.
Every two years, the festival begins
on 14th November, the birth date of Jawaharlal Nehru - India's first
Prime Minister - also fondly referred to as Chacha
Nehru (Uncle Nehru), because of his love for children. Nehru established
CFSI soon after India's independence with the hope that indigenous and
exclusive cinema for children would stimulate their creativity, compassion and
critical thinking. It is this vision of Jawaharlal Nehru that guides ICFFI.
In a world that is cluttered with
consumerist & often violent content for children, ICFFI is committed to
promoting cinema that is humane and non-violent, and yet delightful and fun!
Special care is taken to program films that cultivate an understanding of other
cultures, lives and experiences and encourage children to reflect on the world
around. Workshops and open forums at the festival aim towards stimulating
critical appreciation and creative pursuit of cinematic arts amongst young
people. The festival also supports the work of children's filmmakers by
rewarding them for their dedication and talent.
ICFFI is one of the largest and most
colourful children's film festivals in the world. A unique feature of the
festival is its audience: more than a hundred thousand children travel from little
villages and towns from across India to view high quality international
children's cinema that they would never be exposed to otherwise. Here they rub
shoulders with other kids, eminent guests and directors from different parts of
the world. ICFFI is dedicated to these little delegates and to those
imaginative film-makers who attempt to make films for the toughest audience of
all - children!
The International Random Film Festival is the first film festival in the world which celebrates randomness in cinema. 25 films are selected each year to compete in the Official Selection.

2nd HumanDOC International Documentary Film Festival: GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT IN CINEMA
We are pleased to invite all filmmakers and TV producers who would like to take part in the HumanDOC International Documentary Film Festival:Global Development in Cinema. The festival will be held in Warsaw, Poland from November 12th -17th 2011 at Kinoteka in Palace of Culture & Science in Warsaw.
Through the screenings of selected productions we would like to bring our festival audience closer to current problems of people living in developing nations, and to provide them with deeper insights into the politics
of global development and various issues related to international aid for economically depressed countries.
We are looking for original, wise and objective productions (documentaries, reportages and social advertising) that will increase the awareness of the viewers on problems of injustice and depravation in developing nations. What we seek are productions that will raise important questions about the state of our contemporary world, and urge people to reflect on the meaning of help for those in need.
We are looking for:
* Documentary films,
* TV Reportages,
* Social advertising/campaigns related to developmental issues.
We are especially interested in themes such as:
1. Interdependence of the Global North and Global South.
2. The ones set out in the UN Millennium Development Goals.
3. Everyday problems of people living in developing countries.
4. Examples of help brought by donors, international organizations, governmental agencies and NGOs - both positive and those who have not been successful.
5. Social advertising/campaigns about UN Millennium Development Goals or development issues.
The Festival will present the best documentaries and commercials on subjects related to developing nations from around the world. We would like to show productions that increase the awareness about the countries' dependency on international aid. We hope that people who will participate in our festival will learn about how global issues affect the everyday lives of people and societies around the world, and how each and every one of us can get involved and make a positive change for people in poorer nations.
