IndiFest is festival organized by alterNativa in collaboration with CLACPI (Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Cine y Comunicación de los Pueblos Indígenas), with the aim of giving its own voice to the indigenous peoples and to demand the fulfillment of their Rights.
The Festival’s main objective is to promote the Identity and the Rights of the indigenous peoples through audiovisual tools. The festival includes screenings at physical venues as well as an online week event.

The Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation awards this prize to an audiovisual project, with the winning entry receiving 5000 euros to support the production of the finished work. The prize aims to promote education, discussion and analysis of bioethical issues with a social impact, through work aimed at a general audience.
The Latin American Film Week will take place for six consecutive days, with its official venue at the San Martín Cultural Center, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, from July 11 to 16.
The selected films have the possibility of being screened in the Itinerant Cycle that takes place annually: In 2018 we did the show in Florianópolis (Brazil), in 2019 in La Paz (Bolivia) and in 2020 it was in Asunción (Paraguay). In 2023 it will be in París.
During the event special activities will be developed that accompany the functions:
- International distribution and exhibition forum
- Debate among Latin American film critics
Since 2017 we have been generating spaces for meeting and debate, bringing films closer to places that do not have theaters, working hard on creating audiences. It seems important to us that our audiences have a good experience at each meeting, and that they leave wanting to continue watching Latin American cinema.

A way to revitalize the Montevidean summer, a meeting place with the other, a space to enjoy what we like the most: Summer Film Festival.
Organized by Uruguay Campus Film, it was born in 2022 with the aim of strengthening exhibition spaces for short films and promoting exchanges between national filmmakers.
We understand that the audiovisual reality in Uruguay is arousing more and more interest among themselves and others, that more and more spaces are needed where filmmakers can approach a new audience and that they can get to know the national work in all its forms. On these bases the Summer Film Festival is founded, which in this second edition will include a category dedicated to international short films to have a broader and richer cinematography.
Workshops / Talks.
The Summer Film Festival is an opportunity to set up training spaces where filmmakers tell us about their experiences filming and the public can share that common space with them. A relaxed training space, away from the classroom, where filmmakers and viewers can talk and learn from that place.
Cinema in the neighborhood.
The Cinema in the Neighborhood section, which opens the Summer Film Festival, proposes a return to neighborhood cinema and the enjoyment of street art: with the collaboration of Efecto Cine, a giant screen and sound equipment will be set up in the alley final by Edil Hugo Prato and the selected feature film "Hilda's Vacation" by Agustín Banchero will be screened.
Background.
The Summer Film Festival synthesizes a long history of approaching the public that includes various screenings of shorts in events and installations that we have developed during the more than 10 years of UCF, such as: Film Day, Experimental Cinema, UCF is Shown, among many others. But its clearest antecedents undoubtedly go back to the third edition of Encontrá al Director que Llevás Dentro and the second edition of Cine en el Barrio.

With twenty-five years of existence, (the first edition was in 1997) AVANCA Film Festival was awarded first place in 2011 contest of the support film festivals sponsored by ICA / Ministry of Culture.
An additional thematic programming has happened over all these years, giving space to screening of significant works of contemporary cinema appropriately framed in concerns and / or well-defined objectives.
The AVANCA is known as a space for workshops led by personalities of world cinema, and being more than a "master class", has allowed a unique cinema practice. Every year we have workshops, bringing together participants from all over Europe. The media have written that this is the largest European area of professional workshops in the field of cinema.
AVANCA is the only festival that congregates a Cinema International Competition, works from the television area, video and new supports of multimedia, with a special concern of exhibit the best world productions done in each category.
Since the first edition, the festival only accepts unprecedented films in Portugal.
The World Premiere competition is unique in our country and was only possible because Avanca became a passage point of unpublished authors and movies with great quality. Films that have their world premiere in the festival, independently of the submitted category, are also participating in the World Premiere Competition.
AVANCA is the Portuguese festival with the highest percentage of worldwide unpublished movies that find here their first showing.

"PUT YOUR CAMERA IN ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS"
The Erronka Munduan (Challenge for the World) contest has a different profile than other traditional festivals. We do not have a deadline for audiovisual production, so we give entry to new productions but also others that are already outside the traditional distribution period of other festivals.
OUR OBJETIV is to put filmmakers into action with their contribution to spread messages that attract attention and try to provoke reactions in society that help change the world.
We know that among all filmmakers we have many "human rights" themed audiovisuals that have already had their distribution tour and are now sleeping openly published on YouTube and Vimeo. We want to give them a new life, recover them, to spread them as virally and massively as we can.

The InFest Film Festival is a 2-day freak short film Festival which is held in Rubí, a city of asphalt, industry and smoke located in the Valles Occidental, a region located near Barcelona (Spain).
The InFest festival emerges as a firm and clear proposal: that Rubí be known as the Rubiwood of the Vallés district. During the last 8 years, InFest has organized the best possible short film experience: outdoors screenings, concerts, bar service and all kinds of activities related to cinema. What else can we ask for?
The InFest is devoted to showcase new short films (produced after year 2018) showing Sci-Fi, Fantastic, Freak and Horror elements. Short films cannot exceed 15 minutes length (credits excluded). Foreign films MUST be dubbed or subtitled in Spanish or Catalan, or the film will not be accepted.
In 2023, InFest will celebrate its 8th annual edition. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the InFest was moved to the amphitheater of The castle of Rubí ("El Castell"), a defensive construction from the 13th century, which can host public events with more than 2000 people. The amphitheater features seats, stage and bar! Jury Prize and Audience Award will receive 1000 and 250 euros, respectively.
With the name Illusive Eye the optical process by which animation occurs in our brain by generating movement from the illusion produced by the rapid exposure to images in sequence is evoked. Animation offers the construction of credible universes, capable of freeing us from the limits of immediate reality.
With the coming of current communication technologies, animation has gained even more ground than it had in Film, Didactics and Videogames. Now, with the internet and the power of cell phones, mobile applications and the interconnection of devices and institutions with the network, animation has become an essential part of the language of interaction between the user and the world.
This audiovisual language has extended its discursive horizons as far as the human imagination reaches, and technically its evolution has allowed it to overcome reality by opening a fantastic vortex that provides immersive experiences and high doses of empathy as well as tons of fans of all ages and throughout the world, developing any theme with great aesthetic contributions and various levels of depth.
In honor of this abyss of creativity and as an invitation to immerse ourselves in it, this meeting space has been created for creators, scholars and amateurs. Looking to show not only its strength in the current film narrative but the presence of other types of speeches built on this means of visual expression: GIFs, memes, stickers, emoticons, headers, symbols for social networks, interface elements, banners, promotions , and any type of element generated from the illusion of an eye.
El Grito is the first and only fantasy and horror film festival in Venezuela.
We are a space that promotes reflection, meeting and training through fantasy and horror films, serving as a platform for their dissemination and promotion as genres that go beyond entertainment, highlighting its poetic value and its own tools to move from different narratives, techniques and themes. Under the initiative of the El Grito Casa Audiovisual (www.elgritoproduce.com), this meeting was born in December 2019 in the city of San Cristobal, Tachira State.
We look for works that transcend narrative, aesthetic and technical languages within the genre, using history as the main element in his audiovisual proposal, demonstrating as an author, a search for new ways of showing situations, conflicts and twists of the screw hand in hand with references from different disciplines that feed its concept.
EL GRITO seeks to raise its voice until it becomes a thunderous noise that shakes our city and summons for years all kinds of nightmares and monsters that can strengthen our worn out humanity sensibility.

Phule was an active social worker and thinker. He not only theorized social change but also worked for it and built a movement for social reform.
