Voces Contra el Silencio, Video Independiente A.C., die Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, laden mit Unterstützung von TV UNAM und dem UNAM-Filmarchiv Filmemacher ein, an der vierzehnten Ausgabe der Hispano-American Independent Documentary Film and Video Encounter teilzunehmen: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces, die vom 4. bis 12. September 2026 in Mexiko-Stadt und in verschiedenen Staaten in der gesamten mexikanischen Republik, in einem Hybridformat.
Das Hauptziel von Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces ist es, als Fenster zu dienen, das unabhängige Dokumentarfilme aus Mexiko, Lateinamerika und Spanien durch freie, zugängliche und offene Räume zusammenbringt, die eine Vielfalt von Perspektiven beinhalten, kollektives Handeln fördern und kollaborative Netzwerke fördern, um die Entwicklung des Dokumentarfilms und den Aufbau einer gerechteren, gerechteren und toleranteren Gesellschaft zu unterstützen.
Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces hat neue audiovisuelle Ausstellungsalternativen erkundet und erfolgreich ein Publikum erreicht, das es sich nie zuvor vorgestellt hatte. Aus diesem Grund wurde in dieser dreizehnten Ausgabe beschlossen, ein Hybridformat beizubehalten, das aus persönlichen Aktivitäten an verschiedenen alternativen Filmausstellungsorten, On-Demand-Inhalten auf der MXPLUS-Plattform und Sendungen auf öffentlichen Fernsehsendern in Mexiko-Stadt (Canal 11, Canal 21, Canal 22 und TV UNAM) sowie auf öffentlichen Kanälen in anderen Bundesstaaten des Landes besteht. Die Teilnahme an dieser Ausschreibung setzt daher die Akzeptanz voraus, dass der Dokumentarfilm in der vierzehnten Ausgabe des Encuentro Hispanomaericano de Cine y Video Documental Independiente: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces in diesen drei Formaten ausgestellt wird

The Maryland International Kids FilmFest is an outgrowth of the children's programming at the annual Frederick Film Festival -The F3- held each year in June.
Since the beginning, the F3 has been dedicated to providing not only a unique film-going experience in the region by providing premiere films as well as films not likely to be screened in the area, but also providing children's programming on Saturday mornings.
This portion of the F3's programming was so popular that the festival organizers felt an entire festival of great film should not just be reserved for adults, but be provided for the younger set as well. Often, films and programs aimed at children seem...childish. Not challenging. Safe. And far too often, not entertaining. Especially those constructed to be long commericals in the guise of young people's programming.
The Maryland International Kids FilmFest is committed to bring high-quality, challenging, and, most importantly, ENTERTAINING movie programing...in the form of short films as well as feature length films...to the state. And we can pretty much guarantee that you'll not see any film with a fast-food restaurant tie-in product.
Other film events during the MIKFF will highlight the venue itself. The Weinberg Center for the Arts is an historic building and a jewel valued by the entire state and the festival is proud to have the opportunity to show movies in one of the grandest movie palaces in the area. Take some time to walk around the building while you're here and discover what an extraordinary thing going to the movies once was.

The 6-th annual international independent short film festival “Cinema Perpetuum Mobile” is a non-profit cultural event. The Organizing committee was formed by the members of kinaklub.org community, which gathers enthusiasts and film-fans devoted to the values of continual and free cinema art.
Festival’s purposes:
To promote independent film-making. Short film is a low-budget, and thus, affordable democratic method of art expression. This allows to cover any actual and burning issue while staying laconic.
To support cultural diversity in cinema and discover new forms and methods in film art.
To assist in establishing and strengthening communication between film-makers and film societies in Belarus and around the world.
As reflected in its name, the idea of the festival is to touch upon eternal, perpetual subjects. The measure of how perpetual the subject is, is determined by it’s unquestionable importance and humanistic value. But also, with issues of this kind, a fresh and reasonable view is needed. That is why, both traditional and innovative approaches in interpretation of perpetual subjects are appreciated, as well as the whole spectrum of different cinematic forms — from silent to experimental.
Any interested person, who agrees with principles and ideas presented in the regulations, can become a participant of the festival, without regard to place of residence, age, color, height, weight, marital status and sexual orientation. The requirement for becoming a participant is a filled-in participant’s entry form and a completed film.
Festival screenings and selection of winners will take place simultaneously in Minsk, other locations in Belarus and on our planet as a whole, in April 2015, gathering more and more people who enjoy watching good films and are not indifferent to the problems of mankind.
The working languages of the festival are English, Belarusian, and Russian.
Participation in the festival is free of any charges.
