LATERALE FILM FESTIVAL is an international non-competitive festival of cinematic art organized by the Associazione Culturale Laterale.
Its aim is to highlight the most innovative aspects of contemporary audiovisual languages and to bridge the gap between artistic research and public engagement. Particular attention is given to young and independent filmmakers, as well as to self-made, no-budget works that result from individual exploration.
The tenth edition of LATERALE will take place in Cosenza (Italy), at cinema San Nicola, in August 2026.
The Milan Machinima Festival has opened the call for submissions for its 2027 edition, marking ten years of curatorial engagement with machinima, game-engine cinema, and moving-image practices shaped through virtual worlds.

(blank) Experimental Film Festival is kickstarting its inaugural first edition in Singapore. In collaboration with the BIDEODROMO Experimental Film Festival in Bilbao, Spain, the festival aims to provide a platform for experimental films in Southeast Asia, while establishing a meaningful bridge to the European experimental circuit, providing the artists opportunities in two markets.
The experimental in cinema is subversive and has no image but itself. Beyond being personal, artistic, home made, pure, avant-garde, poetic, absurd, underground or metaphoric, the experimental cinema is a game and a mastering of the image as it is. A clearance that refers the movie to its own form and free it from boundaries of the narration to offer a perceptive connection between the film and the public. Clandestine and still too rare on the theatres, those films look at the self matter of the cinema.
We are now assembling the next collection of strange and experimental films from Southern California for The New Film Underrground Volume 15 showcase. Send us your strange, your surreal and your abstract short films, so they can be included in this undergrround cinema celebration taking place in Hollywood this July.
