Welcome to the 2nd International Contest of Photography and Short Films on Rare Diseases organized by UVEME with the sponsorship of CHIESI Spain and under the collaboration of MPS Lisosomales, this year also dedicated to Alpha Mannosidosis. A contest aimed at both photography and film enthusiasts, as well as health professionals. We want you to be creative, to interpret what it means to you, in a symbolic way, to suffer from a rare disease. Explore your creativity. Express yourself with freedom and emotion. Put yourself in the shoes of a patient, a family member, a caregiver, a nurse, a doctor or a friend of a person with a rare disease... and through your look, surprise us.
IMPORTANT. Register your short film through the website www.certamenraras.com
Since its foundation, the Festival has sought the promotion of film culture based on three principles:
1) That the exposure to film culture contributes to the awareness of communities and nations of the need to support their own cinematographic expressions, which are cultural and social ambassadors to the rest of the world.
2) That a showcase of new world cinema is a mirror on to which our local and national filmmaking can measure and compare itself, establishing references of form and content that fosters the reflection and the search for international competitiveness.
3) That films made in Monterrey, Mexico and throughout the world need to be exhibited. A film that is not shown does not exist. Thus it becomes primordial to provide a space for film exhibition.

Feelmotion ESNE International Short Film Festival is a shortfilm festival for university students organized by ESNE University in Madrid.
Originally conceived as a film festival for university students, the festival celebrates its first edition in 2012, born from the initiative of the students and Raúl San Julián, director of the festival and professor at ESNE. Since then the festival has celebrated a total of eight editions, with more than 1000 participating short films from over 50 universities in 30 countries around the world and a total of more than 5000 university students who have participated or collaborated with the festival.
Thanks to the support of our partners, our finalists have been able to use Feelmotion to give themselves momentum and reach such important festivals as the San Sebastian International Film Festival, the New York International Independent Film & Video Fest or the 3D Wire.
Among the outstanding participants are our alumni Diego Porral, nominated for the Goya Award for Best Animated Short Film 2018 for "Un día en el parque" which was selected as Best Feelmotion Short Film 2017 and currently has more than 40 awards and 200 nominations; and José Herrera, winner of the Goya Award for Best Animated Short Film 2019 for "Cazatalentos".
In each of its editions, Feelmotion has relied on a large team of professionals and volunteers from the student body to organize both the contest and its corresponding awards gala and the numerous thematic events of each edition. In total, more than 200 students from different ESNE grades have collaborated with their efforts to make Feelmotion happen.
Feelmotion has also counted on great professionals from the film industry to be part of the juries that each year choose the winners. Professionals such as directors and screenwriters Juan Carlos Rulfo, Borja Cobeaga, Paco Martínez Velasco, Hector Hercé, María Pérez Sanz or Alex Rodrigo; producers and academics Marichu Corugedo, Txepe Lara, José Nolla; actors Tristan Ulloa, Natalie Poza, Olivia Molina, Ana Arias or Jon Viar among others; and a long list of journalists, technicians, academics, etc.

CFF is the first outdoors film festival of its kind in Lebanon. The festival, which was launched in 2009 by “Laboratoire D’art”, has become an annual short film event which celebrates and promotes local and international short films as an independent form of art in a non-competitive public event, away from competition, prizes and entrance fees.
This year, the theme of CFF has been set as "HOME".
What is home?
Is it the warmth of the bird’s nest in the canopy, or the open skies of the harpy eagle hovering above the rainforest?
Is it the nostalgia of a framed moment in time, or a connected window with all the promises of the future?
Is home a place, or a face? A space, or a soul?
Is it a couch, or a trampoline?
Is it a cage, or the ultimate freedom?
Is it a rigid quarter that forces us to hide our truth, or a safe haven to live by our own true colors?
Is it where we belong now, where we long for, or where we come from?
Over the past few years, and with the fallouts of the global pandemic and inflation, the debate of what home represents has been elevated. The spectrum of endless possibilities of what one can achieve while at home has proved to be tremendously expansive during the long months of lockdown and restrictions. But the changes in life’s dynamics have left its marks on the individual and the society. Children, adults and elderly people were equally affected: education, isolation, multitasking, loneliness, sickness, mental health, to name but a few of the multifaceted challenges.
However, it is still undeniable that through it all, Freedom was a state of mind. And within the confinements of space, be it a place or a body, we are free to choose our own identity, belonging and attitude. We are free to reshape the space to our image or just be defined and even encompassed by it. Home, our comfort zone and secure environment, or maybe the scariest of places haunted with secrets, prototypes and judgements.
For many of us at Cabriolet Film Festival, Beirut is HOME and Saint Nicolas Stairs our living room. We have been around and invested -- body and soul – for 15 years now and wherever the screenings take us beyond all borders to beautiful encounters, we bring the world to Beirut every year.
Hence, for our 15th edition, the Crystal celebration, HOME was evidently the theme. It was just crystal clear! A new milestone to which we would love to invite you. Your films, ideas and experiences are eagerly longed-for. Welcome to Cabriolet Film Festival 2023.

Atlántida: Locación de Cine
Desde los años 40 se vienen filmando películas en Atlántida, producciones argentinas, norteamericanas y uruguayas han tenido como paisaje y protagonista distintos espacios de la ciudad.
Desde "La casta Susana", con Mirtha Legrand, hasta "Miami Vice", la playa y las construcciones costeñas han otorgado un set de rodaje realmente inspirador para realizadores y público. Sin duda la infraestructura y las bellezas de Atlántida permiten el feliz rodaje de films de las más variadas facturas.

This year the festival is not absent, we believe that it is more than ever necessary to maintain the premises for which the festival was created, understanding us as a counter-information tool, during these 14 years the dynamics of the festival has traveled unusual sites for what is understood as the official circuit of film festivals in conventional rooms for projections but in this way we have created walls, floors, cultural centers, neighborhoods, squares, streets, settlements, meeting spaces to see what is happening underneath the surface.
This edition has 2 OBJECTIVES
JOIN US
It is 16 years to accompany the under scene, this space that changes year after year, which takes new form when it is possible to see what is being filmed accompanying the new languages of this time. This experimental scene began to leave experiences that we were channeling in the conurbano, in the occupation and the promotion, in if in sharing, that nourished something that today is a few steps and that is one of the great objectives that has this edition 2018 .
we are already away from the commercial circuits or day-to-day broadcasting and we are looking for the construction of the cinema school in the Covi neighborhood of Solano, where we hold the film festival and believe that the TRECE will be a great kick for this experience that we support and we have been part since its inception.
ITINERANT
The productions chosen, will be part of the retrospective that we will be projecting in a route that will unite different points of Argentina.
The film festival will become itinerant.
Here we see cinema, we talk about cinema, we make cinema. We experiment with the form and structure of the festival, always. We want to rotate the transparency of the impeccable narratives. We are self-management, we have great reasons to criticize from a clear political position our sociocultural context of audiovisual production. We seek to see that which is hidden beyond the superficial, without red carpets.
