Kinofest Digital Film Festival, Bucharest 2012

<p> <strong>Kinofest is…</strong></p> <p> … a digital film festival based in Bucarest, since 2007, one of the most significant in the Central-East Europe. Our goal is to promote in Romania the new film making, the diversity and creativy in video art, innovating technics, interesting artists. We bring together superpremium films in very different styles and genres - about 300 of the best shorts in the world, from 25-35 countries; most of them are Romanian premieres (85-95%).</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150906414740414&amp;set=a.10150901155015414.767871.283838195413&amp;type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank"><img alt="Kinofest 2011 | Facebook" src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/389995_10150906414740414_46870470_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> The festival is an international competition of shorts, but also includes other events and projects: presentations and screenings of invited artists/films/festivals, music concerts, live performances, a virtual art gallery where we present interesting "non-moving" digital art: graphic-design, photography, illustration. We would like to offer larger perspectives to our public, to gather all digital trends and new techiniques, to have films and music, graphic and video art. Our latest project is an educational programme developed in high schools, in order to popularize the digital film technics among the young. Although our main event is once a year, we do have lots of activities all year long.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150317143780414&amp;set=a.10150317143615414.577319.283838195413&amp;type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank"><img alt="Kinofest 2010 - Ziua 2 | Facebook" src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/74860_10150317143780414_7148674_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>We are…</strong></p> <p> … never getting bored of films. We work through a cultural non-profit organisation (Asociatia Kinofest), and we do about 80% of this festival. Kinofest is an independent project, self-supported (we sell publicity in the festival - the brands reach their customers in unconventional ways, within a relevant context), fulfilled pretty much through voluntary work (here are our volunteers!).</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150906419430414&amp;set=a.10150901155015414.767871.283838195413&amp;type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank"><img alt="Kinofest 2011 | Facebook" src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/384704_10150906419430414_915325365_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=307167940413&amp;set=a.283839585413.317495.283838195413&amp;type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank"><img alt="Pixel curtain" src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/8721_307167940413_3820335_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The Audience is…</strong></p> <p> Probably the most active, creative and avant-garde crowd in Bucharest 14 – 55 y.o.; Ranging from teenagers passionate for computer games to mid-age professionals, interested in gadgets, technology and good movies People working mainly in creative industries and who constantly search, consume and appreciate new means of art, connected to the latest trends in “new arts” About 5.000 spectators/edition <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150906416280414&amp;set=a.10150901155015414.767871.283838195413&amp;type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank"><img alt="Kinofest 2011 | Facebook" src="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/375067_10150906416280414_2086647638_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The Concerts are...</strong></p> <p> ... powered by well-known artists of the Romanian indie movement, who have a lot of fans amongst the digital art fans.
