The ficmonterrey ist ständig auf der Suche nach menschlichen Erzählungen, die sich bei ihrer Auswahl auf Ansichten stützen, die aus einer Welt hervorgehen, die sich in ständiger Bewegung und Transformation, in Vernetzung und Innovation befindet.
Das Festival sucht Filme, die das Potenzial haben, sich im kollektiven Gedächtnis des Publikums zu verankern, die Fähigkeit besitzen, sich zu bewegen und einen Dialog mit ihm zu führen.
Eines der Hauptinteressen des Organisationsteams von ficmonterrey ist es, neue Perspektiven zu fördern, und zwar nicht aufgrund ihres Alters, sondern weil sie jung sind, weil sie frisch sind, kritisch bleiben, sich mit Innovation verwirklichen und verschiedene Risiken eingehen.
Das allgemeine Ziel von ficmonterrey ist es, in Nuevo León ein persönliches und ein virtuelles Publikum in ganz Mexiko zusammenzubringen, bevor eine Auswahl an zeitgenössischem mexikanischem und internationalem Kino präsentiert wird, die von Filmemachern mit unterschiedlichen, frischen, riskanten, kritischen und innovativen Visionen geschaffen wurden. Ebenso sind wir daran interessiert, einen Schulungsraum zur Verfügung zu stellen, der die Begegnung zwischen Filmemachern, Filmen und dem Publikum fördert, sowie Aktivitäten zur Förderung der Filmproduktion, insbesondere von Frauen und regionalen Filmen.

En medio de la indiferencia y apatía de un mundo hipercomunicado, el Colectivo Fílmico G/A propone por segundo año consecutivo, la plataforma de proyección cinematográfica Cámara Lúcida, enfocada en la muestra y difusión de cine de autor, experimental, no ficción, periférico y contracultural.
El objetivo de este encuentro cinematográfico plantea crear un espacio de empatía, donde como autores y espectadores podamos escucharnos y saber del otro, de sus investigaciones y preocupaciones. Esperamos que la sala de cine florezca como lugar creador de complicidades de un andar, de una forma de ver o entender el mundo, un lugar en que la vinculación entre el autor y el espectador nos permita soñar juntos.
Fieles a nuestra decisión inicial decidimos fundar este espacio de proyección mostrando aquellas obras fílmicas que plasman la realidad que nos enmaraña; la confrontan y la ayudan a transformarse.
Cámara Lúcida decide apoyar a los autores que reconocen y proponen nuevas narrativas desde sí mismos y en medio de su cohabitar con la realidad, a las películas que reinterpretan y plastifican la realidad, el cine que resignifica al cine día a día.
Esperamos ser un espacio que supere las censuras y prejuicios en el quehacer cinematográfico y sus temas. Apoyamos a los autores que no le temen a los nuevos formatos y su movimiento, a sus temas y su tratamiento, cine en constante mutación e irresistible transformación, es decir, cine libre.
Sean todos y todas bienvenidos.

We welcome experimental cinema pieces (abstract, narrative or documentary), video art works, essay films, artists’ moving image and media art, as well as documentary and narrative films that seek to expand, redefine or reconfigure the means and ends of their respective fields. Experimental Forum exists to provide access to, and develop audiences for, artists’ moving image work and is committed to engaging local audiences with new and/or unheard voices in film.
We are particularly interested in works made by early stage filmmakers and artists whose work is underrepresented. We provide a collaborative platform for moving image works made for the gallery and for the cinema with the aim of building a community across disciplinary and institutional faultlines.

The Adam Mickiewicz Institute/Culture.pl and the Transatlantyk Festival have announced the 2nd edition of the International Short Film Contest to take place under the theme of Capturing Freedom: Creating the Future. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Poland’s regaining independence which falls this year, the organizers encourage young filmmakers to express their views on the issue of FREEDOM.
FREEDOM can be understood not only through the prism of community, society, or nation but also from a personal standpoint as the right to communicate one’s own culture and values to others. Freedom may be seen as a bridge established between tradition, present day and the future, or a road to creating and pursuing dreams. Film school students or graduates from any country worldwide aged up to 35 may submit their films of up to 10 minutes by 7 May 2018. The authors of the best short films will be invited to Poland for the awarding ceremony taking place during the Transatlantyk Festival.
The participants to the Capturing Freedom: Creating the Future contest are invited to share what FREEDOM means to them. Similarly to many European countries, the year 2018 is an exceptional one in Poland. It was exactly 100 years ago that Poland reappeared on the map of Europe following a long period of disappearance.
The organizers focus special attention on two aspects: the possibility to present one’s culture and to create common future by means of both sharing and listening to personal experiences. Social and national communication is of utmost importance. A nation not able to share stories about their culture is never truly free. Just as individuals who are refused the right to communicate their own experiences and emotions become slaves.
The organizers would like to invite filmmakers to make films about freedom and communicating freedom, to share stories of people who present their culture openly, show interest in stories of others, and are open to dialogue. The history of one’s own country, neighbourhood, local community, or personal experiences may serve as a source of inspiration. Freedom and dialogue established between two or more people may lead to the development of the whole societies or countries in the future.
