22nd LesBiGayTrans International Film Festival of Paraguay

Aireana, a lesbian rights group and organizer of Paraguay's 22nd International LesBiGayTrans Film Festival, invites people interested in film and audiovisual media from around the world to participate in this year's edition of the festival.
Cinema as a social phenomenon has become one of the most innovative and enriching cultural consumptions and practices of the XX century. Clearly, cinema changes us but this transformation that film provokes is not just individual. We’re also asking for as a community. Therefore, cinema must be understood as a social phenomenon, as a cultural vehicle, as a complex device which catalyze the yearnings and portraits of a society, as a producer of subjectivities.
For the city of Chivilcoy the launching of an international film festival represents a chimerical cultural proposal. Its background is based on previous experiences that bond these individual and collective practices: shootings, film’s retrospectives, workshops, festivals and other events that take place in our community. This whole set of inputs is a key component, coupled with the suitable reaction of the local public who are eager to rejoice at the "seventh art" and to enjoy a festival as a space for exchange, dialogue and circulation of cultural goods.

The Guadalajara Social Commitment Film Festival (FESCIGU) is celebrating its 24th edition this year, at its venue in Azuqueca de Henares, where it is currently based in exile. Over the years, we have sought to bring our audience the very best of the short film world, with social, thought-provoking, or simply humanistic content. All genres are welcome, provided they do not promote violence. FESCIGU is a qualifying festival for the Goya Awards. This year, in addition, the central theme is ADDICTIONS, so short films dealing with this subject will be especially welcome.
Transhumant Festival is an engaged cinema event to do the social transformation.
It aims to reach audiences far away from culture, both geographically and by social circumstances to make them participants and show topics that concern society and that are not sufficiently disseminated in movie theatres, media or usual audiovisual distribution channels.
It will showcase national and international cinematographic works and photojournalism reportages that focus on:
- Social, political, environmental, mountain, journalistic or historical research.
- Showing some form of activism in favour of human rights and respect for the environment.
- Valuing positive human relations and diversity of cultures.
- Valuing the equity between women and men.
This year we are celebrating a very special edition: the Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary, a quarter of a century committed to talent, creativity and short films. This is a particularly significant milestone for the organisation, and we would be delighted to have your participation once again this year to continue growing this project, which is already a cultural benchmark.
We encourage you to submit your works and be part of this commemorative edition, which we hope will be as special as the stories you send us.

Dear filmmakers,
Welcome to our page! We know how many festivals there are and how difficult it is to choose which ones to submit to. The following will hopefully help you learn more about our festival and decide if our festival is right for you.
As filmmakers, we organize a film festival that we would like to attend: simple and professional, humble with a zest of sparkle, in short a glamourous festival set in the country-side.
We are proud to say that EACH film is seen by three different people on our selection committee.
ALL films are treated the same. One quote is for ALL prices. You don't pay extra for extra attention.
Our editorial line has evolved: we no longer have a particular theme because this has caused us to miss some very good films. Some remaining eliminatory criteria rest: inaudible or bad sound, gratuitous violence or pornographic scenes...
We love ALL GENRES of storytelling: science fiction, fantasy films, romantic comedies, thrillers, dramas, crazy short films, young audience, animation and Documentaries
For the filmmakers present (2 per film), we offer a festival pass, breakfast + meal tickets, a 5-taster pass for the Saturday wine tasting, the famous Sunday brunch and a closing dinner with our volunteers after the festival.
We cannot cover accommodation costs (our site gives you addresses to help) or travel costs.
We are setting up one shuttle per day to and from Narbonne or Carcassonne stations. From Carcassonne, you can take a bus there are many going direct to Rieux Minervois.
For filmmakers coming from abroad, we have other arrangements (contact us at lechouettefestival@gmail.com)
Le chouette festival is located in Rieux Minervois, a small village in Aude, situated between Carcassonne and Narbonne, the festival takes place every year on the first weekend of October.
This year it runs from the 28th of September to the 4th of October 2026.
