True to David Reuben's classic book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask " we love movies that give us new insights on topics like sexual liberation, erotic fantasies, BDSM, sexual shame, cultural sexual diffrences, the "new" prudery, pornography, the impact of the internet porn on our sexuality and sex activism. The discourse with the filmmakers and actors is very important to us. Therefore we try to invite as many protagonists and directors as possible to our festival and thus offer the audience the opportunity for a dialogue.

En 2024, nous avons sélectionné plus de 90 courts métrages du monde entier. Le festival a attiré l'attention du public sur des cinéastes établis, émergents et primés.
De retour au cinéma, le festival s'est déroulé au Cineworld, le plus grand cinéma d'Irlande, et au Sugar Club pour la soirée de remise des prix.

Voici quelques exemples : action, adaptation, aventure, publicité, animation, art-house, comédie noire, enfants/famille, comédie, documentaire, drame, expérimental, fantastique, historique, mélodrame, crime et gangster, biopics, film-noir, road films, super-héros, surnaturel, faux documentaire, indépendant, clip musical, réalité, religieux, romance, science-fiction, muet, sport, étudiant, thriller/suspense, TV, et bien plus encore.
FARO 1540 - L'Association pour la défense et la promotion du patrimoine environnemental et culturel de Faro, après le succès des dernières éditions de FARCUME - Festival international du court métrage de Faro, organise la 11e édition de ce festival qui se tiendra dans la ville de Faro du 26 au 28 septembre 2025.
Cette 15e édition de FARCUME vise à exposer et à promouvoir des œuvres de la section des courts métrages d'une durée maximale de 18 minutes, réparties en trois catégories : animation, documentaire et fiction.
À ce festival, tous les citoyens nationaux et étrangers peuvent participer, individuellement ou en groupe, simplement en respectant les stipulations du règlement, en remplissant un formulaire d'inscription et en envoyant leurs œuvres à l'organisation avant le 11 juillet 2025, sous réserve de présélection.
L'objectif principal de ce festival reste le même : faire connaître et lancer de nouveaux talents ainsi que promouvoir auprès du public les excellentes œuvres réalisées dans ce domaine mais qui n'ont pas toujours la promotion souhaitée et méritée.
En d'autres termes, FARCUME, dans un environnement informel, de bonne humeur et dans une atmosphère détendue, entend récompenser et reconnaître le dévouement, l'engagement, la créativité et le mérite des réalisateurs, des acteurs et des équipes techniques qui, avec des moyens modestes, peuvent développer des œuvres de grande qualité.
Compte tenu des principes et des objectifs de « FARO 1540 », qui a même le statut d'ONG (organisation environnementale non gouvernementale), le festival continuera de faire preuve d'une grande préoccupation environnementale et d'inciter les participants à ne pas présenter de courts métrages revendiquant ou encourageant le manque de respect pour l'environnement, les inégalités en matière de droits humains ou la maltraitance des animaux. Un plan de gestion environnementale spécifiquement « conçu » pour cet événement sera développé plus avant afin de garantir l'optimisation des ressources nécessaires à la promotion et à la réalisation de l'événement et à la gestion des déchets générés.

Le festival du film AVANCA a obtenu la première place en 2011 dans le cadre du concours de soutien aux festivals de films sponsorisés par l'ICA et le ministère de la Culture.
Une programmation thématique supplémentaire a été mise en place au cours de toutes ces années, offrant un espace à la projection d'œuvres importantes du cinéma contemporain, bien ancrées dans des préoccupations et/ou des objectifs bien définis.
L'AVANCA est connu comme un espace d'ateliers animés par des personnalités du cinéma mondial, et étant plus qu'une « master class », il a permis une pratique cinématographique unique. Chaque année, nous organisons des ateliers réunissant des participants de toute l'Europe. Les médias ont écrit qu'il s'agit du plus grand espace européen d'ateliers professionnels dans le domaine du cinéma.
AVANCA est le seul festival qui organise une compétition internationale de cinéma, des œuvres issues du domaine de la télévision, de la vidéo et des nouveaux supports multimédia, avec un souci particulier de présenter les meilleures productions mondiales réalisées dans chaque catégorie.
Depuis la première édition, le festival n'accepte que des films inédits au Portugal.
La compétition World Premiere est unique dans notre pays et n'a été possible que parce qu'Avanca est devenue un point de passage pour des auteurs inédits et des films de grande qualité. Les films présentés en avant-première mondiale au festival, quelle que soit la catégorie soumise, participent également à la compétition en avant-première mondiale.
AVANCA est le festival portugais qui compte le plus grand pourcentage de films inédits au monde qui y sont projetés pour la première fois.
Depuis 2010, nous organisons la conférence internationale AVANCA | CINEMA, qui est devenue la plus importante conférence dans le domaine du cinéma dans la péninsule ibérique. Cette conférence réunit des conférenciers et des participants du monde entier.
Des expositions thématiques, des éditions de livres, des présentations bibliographiques et divers projets ont marqué ces 10 dernières années d'AVANCA avec la qualité que le festival et les participants exigent évidemment.
