Where the Himalayas meet the horizon, stories find their wings.
Humro Cinema Film Fest, born in the picturesque city of Pokhara, Nepal, is a celebration of cinema that transcends boundaries — a gathering where dreamers, creators, and visionaries unite under one screen of imagination.
In just a few years, the festival has blossomed into a creative sanctuary, recognizing over 300 films, screenplays, and visual works from across the world and honoring more than 150 exceptional talents. Every laurel we grant isn’t just an award — it’s a salute to courage, storytelling, and the relentless pursuit of artistic truth.
From film screenings under the open sky to digital showcases that reach across continents, Humro Cinema embraces every storyteller — filmmakers, photographers, screenwriters, and performers — giving their craft a platform to shine. Each official selection becomes part of our growing cinematic tapestry, woven with passion, diversity, and emotion.
Set against the serene beauty of Nepal, this festival isn’t merely an event — it’s an experience.
It’s where stories breathe, cultures converse, and cinema becomes the universal language of connection.
Humro Cinema Film Fest — because every frame has a soul, and every storyteller deserves a stage.
The GUATAPÉ FILM FEST is an international film festival that promotes the circulation, screening, and dialogue surrounding cinema, strengthening exchanges among creators, audiences, and regions from one of Colombia’s most iconic cultural landscapes.
Through its official competitions, curated screenings, educational programs, industry events, and public engagement activities, the Festival promotes the diversity of contemporary cinema, fosters the discovery of new voices, and contributes to the strengthening of the national and international film sectors.
As part of its fourth edition, GUATAPÉ FILM FEST officially opens this call for entries and invites individuals and organizations involved in the creation, production, distribution, exhibition, and circulation of films to submit their films for inclusion in the Festival’s official program.
These Official Call for Entries Guidelines establish the general conditions for participation, registration requirements, the selection process, screening categories, evaluation criteria, the awards granted by the Festival, as well as the rights and responsibilities of those participating in the call for entries.
GUATAPÉ FILM FEST reaffirms its commitment to promoting cinema as an artistic and cultural expression that contributes to the exchange of knowledge, the recognition of diverse perspectives, and the strengthening of ties between film industries, regions, and their communities.
Submission of a film implies full knowledge and acceptance of these Official Rules, as well as of the decisions made by the Festival within the framework of this call for entries.
The purpose of this call is to promote, on a competitive basis, an open contest to encourage cultural creation, helping to increase the quality of productions by creators in the audiovisual sector.
At the festival, called “Torrerífico,” the short films must have a horror theme, and the works selected as finalists will be screened, with the winners being announced. In this regard, the audience attending the event will vote for the audience award.
To this end, the Vice-Rectorate for Culture, Sport, and University Extension at the University of Alicante is organizing the Short Film Competition through the Torrevieja University Campus, in collaboration with the Torrevieja City Council's Youth Department and the Torrevieja Alternative Leisure Association.

The 4th International Diverse Film Festival marks a new chapter in the artistic and curatorial evolution of the festival. Under the concept “Revealed Memory,” this edition explores cinema as a living archive capable of preserving stories, identities, emotions, and experiences that have shaped the ways we understand diversity.
Rather than defining the selection criteria, “Revealed Memory” serves as the curatorial framework that inspires this year’s festival. We welcome fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, and hybrid short films that explore the diverse experiences, perspectives, and narratives of LGBTQIA+ communities across a wide range of genres, styles, and artistic approaches.
From November 4–7, 2026, Barranquilla, Colombia, will once again become a meeting point for filmmakers, artists, and audiences who believe in the power of cinema to foster dialogue, representation, reflection, and social transformation. Alongside its official selection, the festival will feature filmmaker talks, educational activities, workshops, and cultural experiences that strengthen the connection between cinema and community.
We believe that every film has the power to broaden the way we see the world. That is why the International Diverse Film Festival is a space where stories find a screen, a community, and new opportunities to be seen, shared, and celebrated.

Transterritorial Underground Film Festival – 22nd Edition (2026)
The Transterritorial Underground Film Festival is an annual, self-managed and decentralised event that, since 2005, has brought together venues and exhibition spaces in various cities across Latin America and other territories. Its identity is based on the free circulation of audiovisual works, formal experimentation, aesthetic research and the visibility of works that remain outside industrial or hegemonic circuits.
The festival receives and exhibits audiovisual productions of all kinds: unpublished, experimental, marginal, independent, community-based or simply outside the commercial logic of contemporary cinema. It is screened in unconventional, community, cultural and self-managed spaces, creating a trans-territorial network that operates as a social, political and emotional tool.
Thousands of works have passed through this network in its twenty-year history, transforming the relationship between filmmakers, programmers and viewers. The 22nd edition continues this quest, expanding the modes of exhibition and maintaining a programme connected with emerging languages, aesthetic risk and subjectivities expressed from the margins.
The selected works may be screened at any venue in the network, in satellite screenings or in subsequent travelling cycles, always in non-commercial contexts and with cultural, educational or community objectives.
The participating venues in 2025 included screenings in Tigre, Quilmes, Ituzaingó, Berazategui, Necochea, Pehuajó and CABA (Buenos Aires), Rio Cuarto (Córdoba), Rosario (Santa Fe) and Tucumán in Argentina; Pamplona and Medellín (Colombia), Punta del Diablo (Uruguay) and Berlin (Germany).

Artistic Manifesto
In the first edition of “Palma de Mallorca Films Infest”, which was held on January 28, 2017, the great actress Claudia Cardinale signed our artistic manifesto to stimulate the growth of author`s cinema and support for young filmmakers
Excerpt from the manifesto:
It is undeniable that we must start with a natural talent, the best possible preparation and a great vocation; but the solitary effort becomes as depilating as the exhaustion of the castaway. If no one gives you a hand, a support, an advice or an opportunity … you end up abandoning.
Quite contrary to wanting a” greenhouse of chosen ones”, with docile filmmakers in the service of local corporations, or TV channels, to make “tailor made” products (frozen vegetables, all the same), we invoke the great George Orwell in “Animal Farm” and we want a “Rebellion in the orchard”
We want fresh cultural products, with their own roots, different perfumes, flavors from each shore and each sea. Mountain air and the unmistakable aroma of truth that shines in the sun. Truths written, painted, filmed, recorded, and narrated … without fear: tall as sequoias or delicate as a saffron stamen. An art that has seeds! A seed culture that enlightens minds.

“We had cutting-edge AI filmmakers from all over the world on Zoom discussing the tools they used and their motivations,” says attendee Ron Maggi, “The interaction between these filmmakers alone was worth the price of admission, but even the films themselves are really amazing."
Our festival strongly supports the rights and fair treatment of content creators and talent regarding compensation and intellectual property, everywhere in the process of acting, screenwriting, animation, directing, production, and all other activities involved in film making.
We encourage open discussion regarding the utilization of AI tools and how that affects people in the industry. We honor independent and student filmmakers from very diverse communities worldwide.

Might AI become super-intelligent and take over?
