The International Human Rights Film Festival of Uruguay organized by Tenemos Que
Ver and Cotidiano Mujer opens its call for national and international films, to select
its 7th edition.
In this edition the central theme is Institutional Violence. Other human rights topics are NOT excluded.
De 22 a 26 de abril de 2026, a 55ª edição do Festival Internacional de Cinema Estudantil de Sehsüchte, um dos maiores festivais da Europa para cineastas promissores, acontecerá em Potsdam. Ele oferece aos cineastas promissores de todo o mundo uma plataforma para apresentar seus trabalhos a um amplo público e criar contatos no setor. Iniciado na década de 1970 como um festival de cinema da RDA para jovens cineastas, o Sehsüchte se estabeleceu ao longo das décadas como um festival de cinema de importância internacional e se tornou parte integrante da paisagem cultural de Berlim e Brandemburgo.
Sehsüchte se vê como um lugar de encontro e criação, como um evento de diversidade cultural e uma celebração do cinema, hoje e amanhã. A organização e implementação do festival estão inteiramente nas mãos de estudantes da Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF. Isso permite um intercâmbio dinâmico entre jovens talentos, criadores de mídia e pesquisadores.
Lema 2026: O que resta?
O lema do festival de cinema Sehsüchte em 2026 é O que sobrou?. Na 55ª edição do Sehsüchte, queremos direcionar nossa visão para o passado, presente e futuro. O que sobrou? quer saber o que resta — de nossos ideais, nosso lar, nossas esperanças e medos e de um mundo em que queremos acreditar. Com o que sobrou? , queremos desafiar o pessimismo implícito na pergunta: Queremos reconhecer o potencial de mudança e desenvolver perspectivas futuras não apesar dos desafios do presente, mas por causa deles. O que sobrou? significa assumir responsabilidades, permitir-se dizer adeus e encontrar a coragem para novas oportunidades e visões coletivas — para alcançar a construtividade além da resignação.
O que sobrou? O que resta esperar? O que resta a fazer?
Explorações artísticas e cinematográficas, workshops e formatos de discussão querem convidar cineastas e o público a enfrentar a complexidade deste mundo. Entre agitação e despertar, tradição e rebelião, tristeza e esperança: em sua 55ª edição, Sehsüchte quer criar espaços nos quais cineastas e o público possam enfrentar crises políticas e pessoais para descobrir o que resta.

Os princípios do DoKer são:
- Quando dizemos “filme documental “, colocamos a ênfase no “filme “.

Attention to all film talents: From 21 November 2017 until 31 January 2018, filmmakers will have the chance to apply for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition 2018. Not only are two main prizes waiting to be won, moreover, ten finalists will receive an invitation to participate in the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy in Vienna!
Between 21 November 2017 and 31 January 2018, filmmakers up to the age of 35 from Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region, Turkey and Austria will have the possibility to submit their short films to the Short Film Competition of the LET’S CEE Film Festival 2018.
However, filmmakers of all ages and from all over the world are welcome as well to send in thematically fitting contributions. Due to the festival’s geographical focus on CEE though, these short films will not be included in the main Short Film Competition, but will very well have the chance to win the Audience Award in the Short Film category and be screened at the festival in the section Short Films | Out of Competition. We furthermore cordially encourage international makers of virtual reality films, 3D productions and avant-garde pieces to apply as we will be offering these genres a stage at our festival as well.
The theme of the Short Film Competition 2018 is TOGETHER OR APART.
Great Britain voted for the Brexit last year and in doing so decided against a EU membership; most recently thousands of Catalan people went to the streets demanding independence from Spain; under the presidency of Donald Trump, the USA is seeking to withdraw from the Paris climate protection agreement and renegotiate various other commercial treaties – these are only three of many examples demonstrating the recent shift of the political mood in numerous countries. A growing migratory pressure, an increasing gap between the rich and poor, as well as justified and unsubstantiated fears – of the consequences of digitalisation, of the loss of jobs and stability and of social change – have discredited globalisation and encouraged a comeback of nationalist and isolationist tendencies, which seemed utterly unfathomable only a few years ago. Even on a national scale, societal cohesion appears to be threatened more and more. How does the growing division of society influence both the community and individuals? Will political agitation, hatred, egotism and greed for profit become the new normal? Well, the situation is critical, but not hopeless, neither on an international nor a national level. There are still representatives of the civil society who make no effort to surrender to the threatening eroding solidarity. Fortunately, there are numerous instances proving how people still advocate for the poor and disadvantaged with great optimism, dedication and empathy – people who rather pay attention to what we have in common instead of what keeps us apart.
The competition’s theme, TOGETHER OR APART, may be manifested in the submitted material in various manners and methods. Interpersonal aspects, such as family and relationship dramas, trials and tribulations, moments of success and happiness or the joint overcoming of challenges can be taken into account just as well as social, political, juridical and/or cultural matters. In other words: everything is possible, as long as it touches on the topic and is done well!
An advisory board chaired by the renowned Austrian-Iranian filmmakers Arash T. Riahi and Arman T. Riahi will choose the best contributions from the submissions for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition. The short films, which will be screened out of competition, will be selected by the Bosnian-Dutch producer Denis Mujović and festival director Magdalena Żelasko.
After the presentation of the participating productions at the festival, an international jury will decide on the winner of the competing short films and, thus, who will be awarded the main prize – 1,500 Euro and a Urania statuette – at the Awards Ceremony in the Urania Cinema on 20 April 2018. The remaining short films presented during the festival will have, without exception, the chance to win the 1,500 Euro Audience Award in the category Short Film.
All filmmakers who will take part in the main Short Film Competition will additionally profit from their participation. At the expense of the festival, one of the involved filmmakers of each short film will be invited as an official guest*) to Vienna in order to present their work. Those persons will, furthermore, have the opportunity to join the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy.
15 remaining free seats for the Talent Academy will be filled by Out-of-Competition filmmakers. The most important items on the one-week Academy agenda include the attendance of LET’S CEE Master Classes and LET’S CEE Industry Days, the collaborative finalisation of a short film about Vienna, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch a film idea to Raindance film festival director Elliot Grove (and win big!) at the Pitching Competition. Of course, all invited filmmakers will enjoy several Get-togethers, where they can get in touch with successful distributors, directors, producers, actors etc., exchange experiences and new ideas and thus strive to new projects and international collaborations. In order to enable as many filmmakers as possible to visit LET’S CEE and present their work to the festival audience, all participants of the section ‘Short Films | Out of Competition’ will receive free festival accreditations and discounts for the official hotel partner on request.

Experimental Forum is an international performance, film and video art festival showcasing experimental film and artists’ moving image from new directors and innovative video artists from around the globe, with the third edition taking place in Los Angeles in November 2018. Our aim is to provide a supportive platform for the exciting and challenging work that is outside the scope of mainstream film festivals and art galleries.
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.
O festival de cinema Everyday Arias é especializado em ópera e teatro mundial em formato de curta-metragem. Congratulamo-nos com inscrições de curtas-metragens que duram não mais de 20 minutos com foco em uma ária ou aspecto particular de uma ópera de qualquer período e tradição, por exemplo, ópera chinesa, Noh, Kathakali etc.
Os cineastas geralmente têm a oportunidade de exibir seus filmes mais de uma vez, já que muitas vezes colaboramos com outros festivais em conjunto com a execução do nosso próprio no Close up Cinema, em Londres.
