CRONOGRAF Festival is at the moment the only international documentary film festival in Moldova and it is organized in Chisinau starting 2001. This event came into existence at the initiative of a young group of Moldavian filmmakers that were organized within OWH Studio. Their aim was to animate the cultural life in the Republic of Moldova and to bring closer to the local public the latest documentaries from all over the world.

IDFF CRONOGRAF has reached the 11th edition. The festival has a great popularity and an international reputation, especially in the South-East Europe, being among the most important film events. Every year the number of films in the contest increases, as a proof that the festival has aroused the interest of documentarists around the world. CRONOGRAF is an opportunity for the local filmmakers to stand out of the crowd as well as a gateway to the world news in this genre.

IDFF RONOGRAF is a cultural and complex event that includes film screenings within the competition, press conferences with the participation of film personalities, round tables on different topics related to cinematographical life, thematic screenings out of competition, workshops for young filmmakers and film premieres.

At CRONOGRAF, documentary filmmakers around the world have the opportunity to meet and promote their works in a new space, a space for cultural interferences, a place where the East (especially the former Soviet area) meets the West and other globe meridians.

CRONOGRAF is beloved by filmmakers most of all for its friendly, informal and hospitable atmosphere, that enables people to meet and approach in the prospect of collaboration or common projects. The cinema-goers have the chance to enjoy a consistent and quality film program, discovering new film formulas and sensational life stories.

The Festival has three sections of which two are international and one is national. (Data source: official website)

The basic concept of the Karlovy Vary IFF comes out of the Czech Republic’s advantageous geopolitical location at the crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe. It introduces film industry representatives and press from all around the world to the newest local production, and presents new quality films from the rest of the world to Central and Eastern Europe’s own industry and press.

Due to its highly-regarded programming, quality facilities, and unique atmosphere, the Karlovy Vary IFF has become the key annual event for buyers, distributors, festival programmers, sales agents, journalists, and filmmakers.

Several hundreds film directors, actors and other filmmakers personally present their films at Karlovy Vary. Up to 850 distributors, sales agents, producers and festival programmers attend the festival each year. Major European and American sales reps along with local European distributors in search of new movies have learned to rely on Karlovy Vary. International sales companies use the Karlovy Vary IFF as the best place for presenting their films to local European distributors and Central and Eastern European journalists.

Up to 700 journalists attend the Karlovy Vary IFF each year - many of them arriving from the Central and Eastern European countries to cover the biggest film event in the region for their national media.

The unique and relaxed atmosphere of the Karlovy Vary IFF always surprises and awes newcomers. The festival is open to lay public and each year up to 11.000 mainly young people transform the otherwise tranquil spa town of Karlovy Vary into a 9-day film celebration, fully packing every cinema. Usually around 120.000 tickets are sold. (Data source: official website)

Film Festival was established in 1970 as a two-day viewing of students’ short films of the Kiev State Theatrical Art Institute. Since then, local initiative gained international popularity: since the 1980s Ukrainians have seen the works of directors-debutants from Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia and Russia, the times of perestroika had been the era of filmmakers from the Baltic States, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Germany. The first steps in a big cinema with "Molodist" made such well ​​known directors as Fred Kelemen, Tom Tykwer, Francois Ozon, Andras Monori, Alexey Balabanov, Denis Yevstigneyev, Stephen Daldry. "Molodist" participants were later awarded with "Golden Palm" (Bruno Dumont) and "Oscar" (Alain Berliner).

Now "Molodist" is the only film festival in Ukraine, which has been ranked by FIAPF since 1991. It is a priority platform in the region for presenting the latest and the most up cine products and covers the most high-profile events of modern cinema ­– both mainstream and experimental.

The main objective of the festival is to promote young professional cinema. As forty years ago competitive program represents professional and amateur movies of debutants. The main sections – student, the first short film (fiction, animation, documentary) and the first feature film. Geography of contest entries includes countries from almost all continents. So we seek and find – and thus provide an opportunity for young talents to take their place in modern cinema. (Data source: official website)

The WFF differs from other festivals in its programme, just as Warsaw differs from other cities. Selecting the films, we always remember about our audience - native Varsovians, those working or studying in Warsaw, and those in town for a short while, for instance only for the Festival.

The cultural backwardness inherited from the previous system, a system that cut us off from our original civilization for half a century, is not getting smaller. The world is rushing forward faster and faster. That makes us try even harder to make sure that our audiences get to know the latest and most interesting trends in world cinema as soon as possible, often in the form of national and regional presentations. In this way, WFF audiences - usually as the first people in Poland - could discover American independent cinema as well as Asian, Latin American, Iranian, Russian, and Romanian cinema. Time has always been a major consideration: capturing the moment of the greatest success, the peak. Our aim is to show a film before it wins an Oscar, to introduce a director to Warsaw audiences before he or she wins an award at the Cannes festival.

In 2009 the Warsaw Film Festival became one of 14 events recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (www.fiapf.org) as international film festivals - next to Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Locarno, San Sebastian, Karlovy Vary, Tokyo, Moscow, Mar del Plata, Montreal, Shanghai, Cairo, and Goa.

Krakow Film Festival is the oldest film festival in Poland, organized every year since 1961 as the national short film competition, later also an international one and finally only international, made a successful comeback as a double-barreled event once again in 1997.

In 1998, after the fashion of major feature film festivals, Krakow Film Festival has announced an international life achievement award, called the Dragon of Dragons Special Prize. Its first laureate was Bohdan Kosiński, a distinguished Polish documentary maker, in 1999 the prize was awarded to the classic of Polish animation, renowned all over the world, Jan Lenica. In 2000 the Dragon of Dragons went to the French documentary maker Raymond Depardon. The laureate of 2001 was Jan Svankmajer – the main representative of the modern surrealism. In 2002 this award went to Werner Herzog - a remarkable German filmmaker and in 2003 Stephen and Timothy Quay, one of the most original makers of animated puppet films received it. In the following years the award was also presented to Albert Maysles, the legend of the American documentary filmmaking and Yuri Norstein, the master of Russian animation. During next edition of the festival great Polish director – Kazimierz Karabasz was honored with Dragon of Dragon Award. In 2007 the life-time achievement Award was presented to Raoul Servais – one of the most outstanding directors of animated films. Year 2008 brought Award for Allan King, remarkable Canadian documentary filmmaker. During 49th KFF Jerzy Kucia, one of most famous Polish animation filmmakers, was honoured.

The unique character of the Krakow Festival derives not only from the programme of the competition screenings, the Dragon and Hobby Horse prizes awarded by both the International and Polish jury, the FIPRESCI and the FICC awards or numerous other prizes granted outside festival regulations, but also from the programme of accompanying events. In the past the most important of those was the annual Oberhausen in Kraków screening, which testified to the world status of the Krakow Festival. In later years screenings of films presented at other festivals, including those of Annecy, Grenoble, Leipzig, Tampere, Drama, Clermont-Ferrand, Jihlava, Berlin were organized. The Krakow Festival also featured retrospectives of national cinematography and artistic schools (such as the Zagreb school of animation) as well as of outstanding directors: Norman McLaren, Fiodor Chitruk, Roman Karmen, Jerzy Bossak, Kazimierz Karabasz and Piotr Kamler.

Recently the number of the accompanying events has grown considerably. Apart from the retrospectives dedicated to the works of the Dragon of Dragons Special Prize laureate, the festival features also screenings of the most recent documentaries which have not made it in time for the competition, reviews of films directed by the Jury members and posthumous retrospectives of the works of distinguished directors as well as presentations of animated and documentary film producers, including - more and more frequently - various television channels. In 2005 the first edition of Kids Fest was organized in frame of Krakow Film Festival. This presentation of the films foe children was very successful and will be continued year by year.

Every year in the special programme we present more and more long-featured documentary films. It is a strong point of our festival programme which adds to the growing attractiveness of the event. Our audience got used to the traditional cycles which are presented every year, like: Sound of Music, Krakow Documentary Premieres, Reflections, Students’ Etudes Night, Annexes, retrospective of the Dragon of Dragons’ laureate.

In 2007 Krakow Film Festival has announced a new competitive section presenting feature – length documentaries. The idea of this section came out of the changes in the world documentary industry and increased interest in feature – length documentaries which was observed in previous years. The audience of Krakow Film Festival have always favoured off-competition screenings presenting those documentaries. That’s why the organizers of the Festival did not hesitate to bring to life new section. Ten films, selected from amongst 200, competed for the Golden Horn during the 47th KFF. The Grand Prix has been presented to Jeroen Berkvens from Netherlands for his film „Jimmy Rosenberg – the Father, the Son and the Talent”.

The fact that the Krakow Film Festival has been officially recognized by FIAPF, the European Film Academy and the AMPAS only confirms its reputation and high esteem it’s field in; consequently, the films awarded at Krakow are automatically eligible for the European Film Awards and the Oscars in the short films categories.

Italy’s first metropolitan festival, the TFF creates a strong tie with its public from the start, as it consistently increases the complexity of its film proposals, bringing together in its programming art house genre films, experimental research and the rediscovery of the great, forgotten classics. Through its increasingly articulated program and the constant reshuffling of its schemas, and thanks to the proposal of Italian cinematographies that are yet unexplored and filmmakers who are unknown or neglected in Italy, the festival is able to offer to its public precise and invaluable indications to help them develop a critical awareness of cinema as a cultural phenomenon, an artistic expression and a means of mass communication.

After a few years, the festival establishes its first competitive sections: the International Feature Film Competition, which is dedicated to first or second films and which has awarded the early efforts of filmmakers such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Chen Kaige, Amos Gitai, Tsai Ming-liang, David Gordon Green and Lisandro Alonso; and the Open Space Competition, which screens works without any distinction as to length or genre and which has seen the debut of important Italian filmmakers such as Mimmo Calopresti, Daniele Gaglianone and Matteo Garrone. Open Space, in turn, is followed by the Italian Competition (dedicated to Italian shorts and medium-length films) and the Regional Competition. Starting in 1995, the festival also gives the Cipputi Award to the best film about the work world. In 2000, the Italian Documentary Competition is created; still today it is the most prestigious award dedicated to Italian documentary productions and has seen the participation of famous directors such as Guido Chiesa, Gianfranco Pannone and Stefano Consiglio. The Documentary Competition, besides having discovered young authors over the years, has also played a determining role in supporting the revival of interest in Italian documentaries, a genre which was greatly neglected during the 1980s and ‘90s despite its historical roots, and which is now once again vital and innovative.

Over the years, the festival gains a solid and acknowledged international reputation. In 1997 it changes its name to the Torino Film Festival, the definitive confirmation of the ambitions of an event which today moves confidently within the context of major international festivals. Its choices often anticipate the discovery of filmmakers who, thanks to the efforts of the festival and the passionate participation of its public, find the strong motivation and the recognition they need in order to successfully continue their work. During the past six editions of the festival, under the direction of Nanni Moretti (2007-2008) and Gianni Amelio (2009-2012), the Torino Film Festival has hosted filmmakers of the caliber of Francis Ford Coppola, Wim Wenders, Roman Polanski, Oliver Stone, Emir Kusturica, John Boorman, Aki Kaurismäki and Ettore Scola.

The Association Alpe Adria Cinema was founded with the precise aim of promoting and expanding all initiatives in the field of cinema, experimentation and video providing a factor of cultural growth and specific investigations in the area of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the countries on the Mediterranean.

In its 25 years of activity the Association Alpe Adria Cinema and its main project, the Trieste Film Festival, have always stood out for the originality of their initiatives. The festival has analysed and brought to light films and directors that have been forgotten for many years.

The Trieste Film Festival has acquired increasing importance nationally and internationally, becoming a unique point of reference, above all as regards the film-making of Central and Eastern European countries.

At a national level, the festival plays a leading role, being the only festival to have dealt with the film production of these countries for years and with scrupulous attention.

Beside the official selection and the sidebar programmes, starting from 2010 the festival hosts the co-production meetings “When East Meets West”, which involves more than 120 professionals coming from all over Europe. (Data source: official website)

RESPECT FOR TRADITION AND MODERN WAYS

Many people – in the past as well as today – considered the festival, which is the foundation’s best-known program, too folksy while others considered it too urban. The organisers believe that this very point of view, the respect for both the traditions and the modern ways – clashing or paralleling them – is what gives a special flavour to the festival in the Hungarian and international art-transmitting community.

The festival’s name in the first year was VIII. International Film And Video Art Festival. At this time the organisers viewed themselves as the legal successors of the Prize-winner Amateur Films’ International Festival organised in every 2-3 years by the Amateur Film Studio of Győr. They did this in spite of the fact that the former organiser group did not want to continue during the uneasy preceding years of the political system’s change. The new generation started with an artistic change of perspective. After the first festival’s success the International Visual Art Foundation was formed in order to make organising issues easier. For this the team called for a short and internationally understandable name. Following Zoltán Burkus, a journalist’s idea this name became MEDIAWAVE, with the subtitle of International Visual Art Festival. The choice became problematic after a while as festivals with a name starting with MEDIA usually serve ground for experimental video and media works, while this festival tends to prefer traditional films. To solve this problem following Zoltán Bicskei’s idea (drawer from Vojvodina) the festival uses the name "Fényírók Fesztiválja" from 1994 onwards. They could not translate it into English, so the organisers added "Another Connection" to the name, which means something else but it refers to the nature of the festival. From that time the organisers try to use the name MEDIAWAVE as an umbrella term for all the activities of the foundation. From 2002 the organisers changed the subtitle into "International Film and Music Festival" that reflects the festival’s now dominating professional character in a much better way. From 2007 along with the two strong pillars: film and music, a new term came in "youth workshops", which indicates that the festival places more and more emphasis on involving the new generations into the artistic processe.

In 1993 the review became a festival no longer limited to the introduction of the freshest Hungarian animation productions, but also including programmes showcasing an increasing number of foreign films. In 1996 a separate competition programme was established for European animated feature films as well. In 2005 KAFF became a biennial, although previously it had only been held every three years. In 2011 KAFF had its tenth edition and the animated celebrations in Kecskemét were themed around this jubilee.

In addition to the Hungarian filmmakers, prestigious representatives of international animation also take part in the celebration in Kecskemét in the jury or as guest-presenters. The previous festivals boast such acclaimed guests as John Halas (a director and producer of Hungarian origin) from London, the Italian animation film historian Giannalberto Bendazzi, the “Grand Madame” of the Annecy Animation Festival Nicole Salomon, the great sage of Russian animation Yuri Norstein, the representative of the Zagreb School Borivoj Dovniković Bordo, the “father” of Estonian animation Priit Pärn, the daredevil of English animation Phil Mulloy, the Canadian Oscar-winning director Co Hoedeman, the filmmaker of super-sensitive fairiy tales, Michel Ocelot, and the list could go on and on.

The World Festival of Animated Film in Zagreb is traditionally the second oldest festival in Europe. In the course of its forty-year-old history it has systematically been following world animation production through a number of films in competition and out of competition. Built on the tradition of the Zagreb School of Animation, Animafest, the festival oriented towards auteur film, has made a reputation of being one of the most significant events in the domain of animated film.

Approved by ASIFA (International Animated Film Association) and founded by the City of Zagreb and the production studio Zagreb Film the first World Festival of Animated Film was held in June 1972. Animafest was a biennual festival until 2005, when Animafest introduced the programme of animated feature film and turned into an annual event – each odd-numbered year is devoted to feature film and even-numbered one to short film.

By decision of the Festival Council, made in 2007, Animafest is under a new art and organisation leadership that aims at continuing the festival tradition by developing programmes that would enable authors and professionals a more active participation at the festival. With new initiatives, such as the founding of Regional Pitching Forum for projects in Development and Animafest Fund, Animafest aspires to become an active participant in encouraging the production and distribution of animated film.

The evolution of film culture has reached a stage which can be characterized by the renaissance of old techniques. Professional filmmakers never gave up using simple technologies, and low-budget systems sometimes prove to be a more suitable device of artistic expression.

Super 8 filmmaking and the techniques and technologies it uses make it a special category within filmmaking. It is little known today that the basis of home filmmaking was Super 8 and Super 16 films. Super 8 culture has spread through Western Europe in the past decades, several film clubs and festivals are a proof of its popularity.

Mainly film workshops in university clubs and smaller film festivals popularize Super 8 film culture, both in Hungary and abroad. Luckily, owing to the post-modern nature of modern visual culture, lovers of films are open to everything, and the base of Super 8 is becoming wider.

Over the last 10 years Szeged has become the capital of super 8 film culture in Hungary.

The Super 8 group in Szeged has been collecting films in Szeged and Hungary for more than 10 years. Today films are arriving even from abroad to be saved and archived. More than 170 hours of film material – from 1941 to 2010; from cartoons, through documentary films to porno - is to be digitalized and categorized. The future plan is an open archives in the Internet where everyone will be able to find the collections of films selected in categories. This archives will be a catalogue for filmmakers (from ads to artistic films) who will be able to buy licence to use these films or part of these films. By the way this virtual archives will be a kind of Noah’s ark for recorded memories on 8mm wide celluloid, and this is the main message, the rescue of memories, the rescue of old films. These fellas from Hungary are the Rescue Team of Memories.

The Objectives of the group:

- to popularize Super 8 film culture, and to improve visual culture

- to manage the Super 8 heritage

- to represent contemporary Super 8 film culture

- to launching an international Super 8 competition

Besides collecting films, the group also shoots Super 8 films which also serve as a background to their analogue multimedia performances when actors, poets or painters appear in the front of the screens, when the lights of the stage are come from 7 8mm projector, and the strange sticking noise of the machines can hear behind the music or human voice. The group in acts – when they call themselves with an other name: Super 8 Acrobat Group - never use digital technology or computers.

The 18th Sofia International Film Festival will be held from 6 until 16 March 2014 with some additional days of screenings until 23 March.
