V Festival Americano de Cinema Socioambiental
traduce al ingles: V Festival Americano de Cinema e Vídeo Socioambiental de Iraquara
A degradação ambiental e social começa a preocupar a humanidade como um todo. Isso porque a busca por um lucro rápido e fácil gera tal degradação, afetando a coletividade em geral, forçando a cada um de nós a adotar mudanças de atitude, para que, dessa forma, possamos garantir a nossa própria sobrevivência no Planeta.
Os problemas decorrentes da ação negativa do homem sobre a natureza têm sido objeto do olhar não só do Poder Público, mas também da sociedade civil organizada, além de ter se transformado em fonte de inspiração para artistas que almejam registrar e denunciar a deterioração do ser humano e da natureza. Sendo assim, o cinema e o vídeo são os veículos adequados para documentar e delatar as graves agressões ao ecossistema. A partir daí, possibilitar o acesso às obras produzidas com essa temática é uma forma de envolver as pessoas nesse movimento de conscientização para preservação do planeta e da raça humana.
Iraquara, fincada na Chapada Diamantina, na Bahia, tem um patrimônio natural de valor inestimável: lá se encontra o maior acervo espeleológico da América do Sul. E é também por isso que essa pequena cidade dá seu aporte nesse processo de conscientização ambiental, realizando o V Festival Americano de Cinema e Vídeo Socioambiental de Iraquara – V FASAI CINE VÍDEO. Com o objetivo de apoiar e ampliar a rede de defesa do meio ambiente e do ser humano, serão exibidas e premiadas obras de cinema e vídeo – longa, média e curta metragens – com temática socioambiental no V FASAI.
A proposta, também, passará por realizar palestras e debates sobre a água, esse precioso bem finito que a natureza nos dá; debater sobre o desmatamento que tem assoreado nossos rios e degradado terras antes férteis; debater sobre um dos graves problemas de nossa época que são as toneladas de resíduo sólido que produzimos diariamente e os descartamos sem qualquer critério no solo. Queremos transformar tais debates que serão travados durante o IV FASAI CINE VÍDEO em ações concretas na própria cidade, modificando o cotidiano da população local e estimulando a prática de cidadania em cada indivíduo. O município poderá mostrar ao mundo como o Poder Público pode e deve interferir no processo de conscientização e mudança de atitude de sua população.
O V FASAI CINE VÍDEO convida vocês realizadores e realizadoras que fazem da sua arte uma ferramenta na luta por um mundo melhor; vocês, ambientalistas que registram as suas lutas com tecnologias audiovisuais para denunciar e combater os crimes que convivemos no nosso dia-a-dia, a inscreverem suas obras audiovisuais que tematizem sobre a natureza e a sua degradação corrente em nosso V Festival Americano de Cinema e Vídeo Socioambiental de Iraquara.
A cidade lhes espera de braços abertos para que juntos possamos apontar ações que prenunciem uma melhor qualidade de vida em nossa cidade, em nosso país e, quiçá, no mundo!
V American Festival of Socio-Environmental Film and Video of Iraquara
Environmental and social degradation is beginning to concern humanity as a whole. This is because the pursuit of quick and easy profits generates such degradation, affecting the collective as a whole, forcing each of us to adopt changes in attitude so that, in this way, we can ensure our own survival on the planet.
The problems arising from the negative actions of humans on nature have been the focus of not only the Public Authorities but also organized civil society. Moreover, they have become a source of inspiration for artists who seek to document and denounce the deterioration of both humanity and nature. Thus, film and video are the appropriate mediums to document and expose the serious aggressions against the ecosystem. From there, providing access to works produced with this theme is a way to involve people in this movement of awareness for the preservation of the planet and the human race.
Iraquara, located in the Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia, has a natural heritage of immeasurable value: it is home to the largest speleological collection in South America. And it is also for this reason that this small town contributes to this process of environmental awareness by hosting the V American Festival of Socio-Environmental Film and Video of Iraquara – V FASAI CINE VIDEO. With the goal of supporting and expanding the network of defense for the environment and humanity, films and videos—feature-length, medium-length, and short—with socio-environmental themes will be screened and awarded at the V FASAI.
The proposal will also include lectures and debates on water, that precious and finite resource that nature provides us; discussions on deforestation, which has silted our rivers and degraded once-fertile lands; and debates on one of the serious problems of our time: the tons of solid waste we produce daily and discard without any criteria into the soil. We aim to transform the debates held during the IV FASAI CINE VIDEO into concrete actions within the city itself, changing the daily lives of the local population and encouraging the practice of citizenship in each individual. The municipality will be able to show the world how the Public Authorities can and should intervene in the process of raising awareness and changing the attitudes of its population.
The V FASAI CINE VIDEO invites you, filmmakers and artists who use your craft as a tool in the fight for a better world; you, environmentalists who document your struggles with audiovisual technologies to denounce and combat the crimes we face in our daily lives, to submit your audiovisual works that address the theme of nature and its ongoing degradation to our V American Festival of Socio-Environmental Film and Video of Iraquara.
The city awaits you with open arms so that together we can propose actions that foreshadow a better quality of life in our city, in our country, and perhaps in the world!

“Memory of the Future / La mémoire de l'avenir”
The Center for Common Memory for Democracy and Peace (CMCDP), a national human rights association with international reach, hereby opens the call for film submissions for the 15th edition of the International Festival of Cinema and Common Memory (FICMEC), to be held in the city of Nador from October 30 to November 4, 2026.
The CMCDP operates within the following fields of action:
Issues related to memory and shared memory as knowledge and expertise;
Dissemination of a culture of peace, coexistence, and democracy;
The fight against all forms of extremism;
Defense of human rights and contribution to the dissemination of its culture;
Issues of identity and linguistic and cultural diversity;
Consolidation and development of values of solidarity and constructive dialogue between peoples and nations;
Support for all generations of human rights.
Each year, FICMEC proposes a thematic reflection linked to memory. In this edition, the central theme will be "Memory of the Future," inspired by Victor Hugo’s words: “The future is a door, the past is the key,” and Roman Krznaric’s idea that the future is not a place we are going to, but a place we are creating.
Memory is not an exercise in nostalgia nor a gaze anchored in the past. It is a collective responsibility. Preserving, explaining, and transmitting historical episodes—especially the most painful ones—is the duty of both institutions and society as a whole: families, associations, human rights defenders, artists, and educators. Understanding the past is a conscious act of preparing for the future.
"Memory of the Future" proposes a permanent dialogue between remembrance and projection, between justice and social transformation. The struggles against injustice, the processes of truth and reconciliation, the defense of human dignity, and the consolidation of democratic values constitute the foundations of a fairer tomorrow. Remembering is not about perpetuating resentment, but about generating awareness, preventing the repetition of violations, and strengthening a culture of peace.
New generations hold a central place in this vision. They are not merely repositories of inherited narratives but active agents capable of reinterpreting, questioning, and projecting memory toward the future. Intergenerational transmission, critical thinking against historical manipulation, and commitment to human rights are essential elements of this construction.
In the artistic and cultural sphere, cinema—whether documentary or fiction—becomes a privileged vehicle for making silenced memories visible, denouncing injustices, opening spaces for dialogue, and contributing to social transformation.
Thematic Conditions for Participation:
Feature films and short films (fiction, animation): open theme.
Documentaries: must specifically align with the theme of the "Memory of the Future" concept note, addressing issues related to memory, human rights, justice, intergenerational transmission, reconciliation, identity, or democratic construction from a reflective and proactive perspective.
Filmmakers of all nationalities are invited to submit works that contribute to thinking about the future through historical awareness, promoting values of justice, peace, equality, coexistence, and the role of youth in this process.
Film submissions are accepted exclusively through official festival registration platforms.
Through this call, the CMCDP and FICMEC reaffirm their commitment to an active, ethical, and transformative memory, convinced that only those who assume responsibility for the past can contribute to building a more humane and democratic future.
