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.
Cinema awards in which online media related to the seventh art choose the best of the year in independent Spanish cinema.

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.

La Palma, the green heart in Canary Islands, is suffering a catastrophe generated by the vulcanic eruption in Cumbre Vieja. This hadn't happened since 1971, when volcano Teneguía exploded in the same island. Thousands of hectares, crops and buildings are being destroyed by lava flows, leaving a lot of devastation and pain.
This festival is born from the deep desire of helping in this crisis. An online festival, accessible and free for the public, made up of shortfilms from all around the world. We hope to bring comfort and evasion to those people (children and adults, senior citizens, families) who have lost everything and fight everyday during this disaster. Or those who are dedicating body and soul to provide shelter for the homeless, the firefighters who have not slept for days, the police who take care of the population, the donors of food and clothing, the volunteers who are helping to load trucks of personal objects, or saving pets and lost animals -this Festival for all of them.
Fee entries (5 euros per short) will be FULLY DONATED TO PALYATE THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE VOLCANO, to the following associations, town councils and animal shelters: (more will be added to the list)

Cinequest was voted Best Film Festival by USA Today Readers. Cinequest programs 85-90% of its festival from paid submissions annually, the highest percentage of the world's most influential film festivals.
"I think the most important thing about Cinequest is it's definitely the first time I've ever come to a festival where my immediate reaction is, 'What do I have to do to be invited back?' and that's not normally my reaction. It's a perfect film festival in a glorious place." - Neil Gaiman, Maverick Spirit Award Winner
