Mario Cervantes ha organizado el XII Festival de cine social ManzanaREC que tendrá lugar en febrero de 2025 en la localidad de Manzanares (Ciudad Real). Los trabajos serán exhibidos en la Sala de la Casa de Cultura de Manzanares.
Serving as a Premier Film Festival, the Lakecity International Film Festival (LCIFF) held in Delhi was founded to showcase the leaders in contemporary film making, and aims to exhibit the most captivating and innovative content. The Biggest Event in the Capital, the two day LCIFF 2022 festival is slated to happen on December 10th & 11th 2022.
Festival Mission:
Breaking all stereotypes, LCIFF's mission is to present quality films from around the world as well as support, recognize and honor indie film makers. These films will be organized thematically, in hopes of representing the full range of the human experience as reflected by our chosen filmmakers. LCIFF will also be a vital showcase for indie short film makers as the festival has a PSA Films Category in addition to its competitive sections.
Festival Objectives:
Though film festivals have became a regular affair in most countries yet most of them cater only to selected audience as well as entertain the commercially successful film makers and related personalities. However, LCIFF intends to organize a festival that connects the film fans & movies goers with the world, especially the serious filmmaker & their associates so as to bring about greater understanding of the art of film making.
The two day festival will see people of various communities thronging the venue to enjoy films from countries including Germany, Italy, UK, USA, Russia, Bangladesh, Iran, Poland in English and the country's own languages. Indian regional language films like Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, and in south Indian language including Malayalam, Tamil, Telegu and Kanada will be showcased.
NEW RULES:
Apart from the REGULAR CATEGORIES of SUBMISSION that include FEATURE FILMS / SHORT FILMS / DOCUMENTARIES & MUSIC VIDEO, we at LCIFF have created a special new Category for WEB SERIES & STORY/SCRIPT.

The cinema is more than alive in the Canary Islands, and more in the island of La Palma.
The Festival of Cinema made in the Canary Islands (#MadeInSecuencia27) is a festival that was born with the aim of promoting and disseminating audiovisual creation through sportsmanship and teamwork, both among fans and professionals, throughout the Canarian archipelago and arises as an initiative of the Cultural Association La Farola Films and its youth section known as the Infant and Youth School of Cinema "Sequence 27".
FECICA is celebrated between the municipalities of Puntallana, Barlovento and San Andrés y Sauces under a written and visual motto that changes in each edition.
with the image of the Punta Cumplida de Barlovento Lighthouse next to the Los Tilos Bridge of San Andrés y Sauces and the Monument to Salto del Enamorado de Puntallana.
The Festival has two competitive sections of the event: the 'General Section', which has short films shot throughout the Canary Islands and the 'Section 32 hours', in which filming takes place on site (between Puntallana, Windward and San Andrés and Sauces ), within the duration of the show itself, in just one and a half days, making this section the hardest cinematographic creation challenge in the Canary Islands. We also have the 'Media and Feature Films Section', a non-competitive section to promote the latest feature films and medium films made in the Canary Islands.
Thanks to this festival, which pursues the coexistence between participants, audience and young people of the Film School, more than the competition between them, the island of La Palma is already a "movie island", which has five festivals more audiovisuals (Festivalito, Tiempo Sur, TazaCortos and La Palma Anime Film Festival). All of them collaborate with this Film Show and are completed with other audiovisual contests throughout the island territory.
It is a festival in which the jury is the children and youth of the association, something unique in our country and that makes it different from other festivals. A festival open to everyone for everyone, without discrimination.
That is our festival. Welcome to the Festival of Cinema made in the Canary Islands SEQUENCE 27!

A Prefeitura do Município de Araraquara, através da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura e FUNDART, comunica que estão abertas as inscrições para edital de premiação em produções audiovisuais a integrarem a 10ª Mostra Audiovisual “Wallace Leal Valentin Rodrigues”.
Será a segunda edição da Mostra Wallace em meio a uma pandemia global que impactou significativamente a maneira de nos relacionar, que nos fez estabelecer novas relações com o tempo e o espaço e modificou significativamente o modo de fazer e de usufruir o audiovisual.
A percepção da história é a de que os momentos de crise seguem para um processo inerente de transformações e a arte é um dos primeiros movimentos a procurar traduzir esses recomeços, a construção de novos mundos. De um cenário de incertezas e desequilíbrio no qual estamos, de um momento em que começamos a vislumbrar um possível (e cuidadoso!) retorno a esse mundo que já não é mais o mesmo, interessa a esta edição da Mostra Wallace as histórias de sobrevivências, os recomeços e reinvenções e as estratégias de luta frente ao desmonte.
Estaremos atentes às diversidades, aos processos de coletivos e a elaboração comunitária. Após o intenso período de experimentações on-line, queremos dialogar sobre as fronteiras entre virtual e o presencial, as novas linguagens e formatos, a criação para além da reprodutibilidade técnica e compartilhamento descontrolado.

Biodiversity loss is one of the main threats we face today. Species are disappearing at levels never seen in human history. Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation of resources, the appearance of invasive alien species are the main threats that many species face today.
The human being is the main cause of these threats, but the power to reverse these extinction processes is also in our hands. Conservation policies and measures have saved many species in recent years. Communicating and raising awareness about the main problems facing biodiversity is necessary in order to continue advancing. Many times the environmental problems that are treated from education, awareness and the work that is done in research centers do not reach the general public, for this reason using alternative media such as art or culture can be of great help to reach to more audiences.
Although the efforts to communicate the scientific results obtained in universities and research centers are evident, using the cinema as a communication vehicle is currently a little used bet.
At the "CINECO - International Film and Ecology Festival" we bring together scientists, filmmakers, conservation associations and the general public.
The main objective of the meeting is to highlight the role of cinema in communication and awareness of environmental problems. The specific objectives are:
1. Communicate and disseminate environmental problems to society through audiovisual pieces.
2. Establish a collaboration network between filmmakers and scientists for the development of future projects.
