La Asociación Cultural Cinergias, con sede en Madrid, España, organiza la Edición Lanzamiento de Cinergias Festival de Cine Iberoamericano, que tiene como objetivo la promoción, difusión y reconocimiento de cineastas iberoamericanos para dar impulso a los jóvenes talentos con la divulgación de sus obras en formato corto, o de sus óperas primas de largometraje.
En esta primera edición de 2024 el festival busca generar una programación a partir de la reflexión, la multiplicidad de voces y discursos, y la diversidad de miradas.
El festival quiere constituirse en un espacio trascendente para un cine que sea relevantemente contemporáneo y que no tenga miedo de mirar al pasado ni al futuro.
Se trata de un festival no competitivo en su sección oficial de cortometrajes y largometrajes que pone el foco en una cuidada programación representativa de Iberoamérica y, en lugar de un premio único para uno de los participantes en la sección oficial, propone el pago por selección de 200 € a cada una de las películas seleccionadas.
El nombre de Cinergias surge de la combinación de las palabras cine y energía en su sentido de eficacia y virtud para obrar. Y a la vez alude al término sinergia, como la unión de varios elementos para obtener un resultado mayor al de esas partes por sí solas.
