Intras, mental health and culture: ‘Visionando’
In Intras we think that mental health is a very broad term that recognizes cultural, social, philosophical and historical aspects beyond the purely biological and sanitary. That is why this Festival seeks to collect and show all possible views in order to make visible different realities and combat the stigmas associated with mental health problems.
From this perspective we present the I Festival of short films on mental health 'Visionando' to be held between October and November 2024 in the city of Valladolid as the main venue.
Why ‘Visionando’?
‘Visionando' was born in 2023 as a film series with the collaboration of the City Council of Valladolid, creating a space in the city to reflect on mental health. In the last quarter of the year, 5 films were screened followed by a colloquium with mental health, film and media professionals. They addressed different perspectives on mental health: family, emotional and social relationships, care, the passage through psychiatric units, new technologies and their impact, gender violence and its therapeutic approach, community integration and the importance of employment as a normalizing tool.

Cheongju International Short Film Festival presents movies that are touching, entertaining, and short but strong.
The program team of the 21th Cheongju International Short Film Festival is hosting the festival under the motto of 'Film Festival for the Audience, by the Audience, of the Audience'.
1. Organization
The Cheongju International Short Film Festival is organized by the Cheongju branch of the General Association of Korean Filmmakers and hosted by the Cheongju International Short Film Festival Executive Committee.
Discussions on the Cheongju International Short Film Festival began in 1999 when Kim Kyung-sik, the first chairman of the association, established the Chungbuk Film Council.
The official start of the Cheongju International Short Film Festival is the "Cheongju City Excellent Short Film Festival" held by Kim Kyung-sik, the first president of the Cheongju Film Artists Association, a division established in 2004.
At that time, the main programs were "Invited Screenings for Outstanding Short Films in Korea" and "Cheongju Youth Film Class" aimed at fostering future film talents.
Since then, the festival has been renamed the "Cheongju City Digital Short Film Festival" in 2006, attempting to make changes in line with the digital era. Then in 2013, director Eo Il-sun took office as the second president, renaming it as the "Cheongju International Short Film Festival," inviting foreign films to diversify the program.
The city of Cheongju declared "video culture city" with the launch of the "Cheongju Film Commission" in 2017.
2. Purpose
The Cheongju International Short Film Festival aims to promote the diversity of video culture and independent short film production by discovering and introducing excellent short films from around the world.

Our Short Film Fund initiative supports the production of a short film screenplay (20 pages max) or the completion of a short film (under 20 minutes) with a grant of up to £5,000 (approx $6,300), a kit rental package, and in-kind post production services. Filmmakers can apply without a producer – we can help you find one if your project is selected.
Our goal is to create a funding opportunity where story is king. There are no boxes to tick apart from writing a great story that is viable for production. We are not afraid of being the first entity to provide funding for your project and become the first stepping stone for you to be able to raise further financing, if required.
HOW IT WORKS
Unsolicited Scripts will review all the submissions and select 6 finalists based exclusively on their creative merit.
A jury composed of all the organisations involved in the initiative will assign the awards. They may decide to assign all the awards to a single project or split them among multiple projects.
Environmental issues have become increasingly urgent and dramatically current. Awareness of respect for the world around us has become for many a "good practice", a "good practice" to be implemented. But it's not enough. Raising awareness must involve everyone and become part of everyday life.
The FMF is aimed at Italian and foreign directors, filmmakers and videomakers who present short films, no longer than 30 minutes, of any genre: from pure fiction to purely documentary ones, from animated shorts that tell and interpret the sea and the the environment (with all the issues related to them).
The FFM is itinerant in various Calabrian tourist locations: Praia a Mare (CS) – Laghi di Sibari di Cassano allo Jonio (CS) – Cariati (CS) - Soverato (CZ) and Sangineto (CS) - venue of the final evening
Enhance and promote audiovisual language in the form of short films, promoting the knowledge of new authors and the circulation of documentary works
• Use cinematographic communication as a tool for socio-cultural education and as a stimulus for critical reflection on the issues of the sea and the environment by promoting the culture of the environment since the sea and the environment must be preserved.
• Stimulate and encourage knowledge and enrichment of film techniques, through the creation of master classes and training courses aimed at young directors and filmmakers
• Develop those audiovisual and cinematographic productions capable, with creativity and cultural content, of enhancing the sea and the environment, bringing young people especially closer to this sector of cinema and audiovisual production
• Project the regional territory into a national spotlight by making cinematographic art and audiovisual production a circuit for the enrichment of the regional tourist and cultural proposal.
• Create various spaces for discussion, reflection and debate to promote and enhance the sea "resource" through various initiatives, focus debates, information and artistic spaces which will act as a corollary to the screenings of the short films in competition, thus giving life to a dynamic "concept unMarediEventi “
