Hello!
You´re now welcome to submit your film to the upcoming 14th Norrkoping Film Festival
Flimmer. Important dates and entry form is available on our website: www.flimmer.nu
Deadline: 25th of July!
___
Flimmer is southeast Sweden's biggest independent film organisation and is based in Norrköping, a former forerunner of the industrial revolution in Sweden. In a city steeped in tradition and history, Flimmer has successfully established itself in two distinct areas.
Norrkoping Film festival Flimmer is a favourite in the cinema-goers' calendar in southeast Sweden. The 14th annual festival will take place between 5th and 14th of October this year. Following the huge success of last year's festival, Flimmer will, this year, offer a multitude of films to please anybody who is genuinely interested in cinema. All the films are shown in Norrköping and are screened at times and in venues to maximise your enjoyment. Last year's festival opened with the Swedish film “Stockholm Östra”, the Swedish premieres of “Even the Rain” and Liz Garbus’ “Bobby Fischer Against the World”. The festival also saw the Swedish premieres of “Talihina Sky: the Story of Kings of Leon” and James Gunn’s “Super” as well as shocking yet informative documentaries; animation; short films; Midnight Screenings; and face-to-face interviews with actors, actresses and directors. This year the attempt is not only to maintain the quality and variety of last year’s festival but also to make this year even more memorable. Last year we therefore made the move to Cnema ( www.cnema.se ), the new venue for cinema goers in Norrköping and the East Sweden region, where three top modern auditoriums will host this year’s festival screenings.
Our open air cinema is the biggest open-air cinema event in Sweden. The Flimmer Utomhusbio visits around 30 places in Sweden between June and September, and is welcoming 40 000 people to the inflatable giant screen. The open air cinema runs between May and September and this year’s programmes include Oscar winners and well-known Swedish titles. The programme is available here in May and each screening is free, although there will be a raffle every evening and donations are gratefully received.
Please see our website for further information! www.flimmer.nu

Where Film and Cars Collide…
Where the Engine Meets the Celluloid… Where Hollywood Meets the Motor City…
Just at the intersection of “Le Mans” and “Gone In Sixty Seconds”!
Cars In Film Fest is premiering in sunny Santa Monica with locations including the Santa Monica Pier at the “End of Route 66” and the Third Street Promenade with it’s three theaters containing seventeen screens. Both the Santa Monica Pier and the Third Street Promenade have a combined average daily foot traffic of over 100,000 people, a welcomed attendance in addition to our scheduled film festival attendees. Its Red Carpet gala presentations are surrounding the “film famous” sandy Santa Monica Beach, from September 23, 2012, through September 30, 2012, and it is designated to be one of the largest film festivals in the state of California and a nationally recognized filmmaker forum; we are projecting an attendance of 24,000 in this, our premier year.
Cars In Film Film Festival 2012 was created to celebrate independent film-making by using the motor vehicle...as its “vehicle,” making our California scene, "The Land Of The Car," its backdrop! Although this is a film festival with full awards and educational symposia programs partnering us with film organizations such as Panavision, we are also partnered with other prestigious entities such as the Petersen Automotive Museum, bringing their membership to our festival and especially our Honoree Gala. Other automobile attractions such as sponsored vehicles and vintage film cars will have a concourse presence on our promenade; we’re encouraging “Street Teamers” with a new-car “Ride and Drive” and a celebrity car rally, and we are offering a “Supercar” for a charity auction...just to name a few high-end fun events, and a slight variance from the usual film festival appeal.
Cars In Film Film Festival, a non-profit entity, is planning significant fiscal impact by contributing to two important charities annually and bringing jobs and tourism to our locale, while celebrating the Indie Filmmaker and Film. Knowing that a larger than life populous believes independent film is crucial to our culture and to the future of cinema is inspiring involvement allowing our festival a larger outreach for Industry Relations, Marketing and Sponsorship, Advisory Board and Jury development, Symposia Panelists outreach, Educational outreach, Civic Agency and Film Commission relations, and many more necessary areas of constant development providing and sustaining the best credentialed film festival, making the biggest difference ever to this enormous demographic!
Though its selected screenings, educational symposia and gala awards events our festival's central focus is to discover, honor, and point out a jury's best recommendations as honor recipients in this well accredited and attended festival. Our participating sponsors and partners ultimately allow Cars In Film Fest to provide these essential resources helping filmmakers create new work, build an audience for their projects, and diversify voices in the film community. In Short, WE SUPPORT YOU, THE FILMMAKER, AND YOUR FILMS! We enrich this experience by infusing it with the city color, cuisine, sand and surf of Santa Monica, California.
An exciting aspect of our Awards Program is all films including student films, both feature and short, are included in the entire Awards program meaning students can possibly take home the “coveted” Golden Car Award for the Shorts, Features, Peoples’ Choice and Special Awards Programs as well as the Best Academic Film Award. We at CIFF feel that by allowing students to participate in the entire program we may discover a fantastic young filmmaker ready for introduction to the film industry! And, by making this submission feature available to all entries...films deserving accolades could receive several awards as well as “top honors” eligible for over $100,000 in cash and rewards, and also giving added exposure and celebration!
Cars in Film Film Festival is designed to become one of the largest film festivals in the State of California, and a nationally recognized filmmaker forum with the intention of becoming an accredited film festival to which "Oscar" pays attention! Galas, live entertainment, premier screenings and competitions, along with symposia featuring noted filmmakers, actors, directors, car aficionados and motorsports celebrities are combined to create a dynamic eight-day event beginning in the Summer of 2012!
“What is more “LA” than celebrating Cars In Film...and film? After all, we couldn’t really call it "LA Film Fest," could we..? Oh and… bring your Surfboard!”
