FINCI 2026
ONLINE | IN-PERSON FORMAT
June 2026
FINCI 2026 proposes the following main theme:The Truth
today everything moves very fast, where filters are all around, where there is an excess of information everywhere, it's necessary, I would say almost urgent, to encounter our true selves and what we feel that connects us to the simplest things. ¿What is our truth? ¿How do we connect with our essence? ¿How do we connect with what represents us and what doesn't? ¿What place do we give to that? When we connect with our true selves, it has an impact on the collective, on all of us together.
There are truths that are urgent to show, to speak, both individual and collective. ¿What is our truth? ¿How do we allow ourselves to be flexible when we are infant of something new? ¿How are we honest with ourselves? ¿How do we connect with our desires and are we sincere with them?
This year, the International Festival of New Independent Cinema (FINCI) will be a hybrid event.
It will be held in person in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Mexico City, and online for all of Latin America and Europe.

2025 Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival
Welcome to the 2025 parknify Human vs. AI Film Festival, a groundbreaking event at the intersection of art, technology, and humanity.
Taking place in the heart of Silicon Valley—home to some of the world’s most significant advancements in AI generative video production—this festival celebrates the synergy between cutting-edge technology and the timeless essence of human creativity.
This year’s festival spotlights two distinct categories of films:
1. AI-Generated Films: This category showcases the revolutionary capabilities of artificial intelligence in film creation. The winning film will be the one that most convincingly mirrors human realism, seamlessly blurring the line between machine-generated art and human ingenuity.
2. Human-Created Films: Here, the spotlight shines on the unmistakable touch of humanity. The winner will embody the most “humanistic” qualities, evoking emotions and storytelling in a way only a human filmmaker can achieve—leaving no doubt that it was crafted by human hands and hearts.
The Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival is not just a celebration of films but also a conversation about the delicate balance between preserving intrinsic human spirit and embracing generative technological innovation. Join us as we explore the future of storytelling, where machines and humans together redefine the art of cinema.
Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and amazed. This is where the future of filmmaking takes shape—see you in Silicon Valley!

Short Outline:
nineteen successful years of the ‘International Low and No Budget Short film-sharing Festival’ has inspired us to continue despite the disheartening of the cultural institutions.
Budgets for culture and the arts are being cut or axed. However, humour is when, in the face of adversity, you can still laugh! This year, we will defy commercialism and
capitalism and raise up our ‘Low and No Budget Film Festival’ with the opening in Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Mainz.
Moreover, we will continue to
offer the ever increasingly popular internet forums, which publishes the un-filtered short films, as an antidote [AA antithesis, counter platform]. We will be showing the s
ubmitted films on the big screen to the interested public who can discuss and talk together before, during and after the films. We will be showing the Film Festival Programme at selected cinemas. The festival is a non-profit endeavour and a large part of the entrance tickets will remain with the cinema operators to cover their costs.
We will show all short films under 15 minutes and we look forward to receiving new productions as much as older short films or even youthful follies or transgressions!
The audience itself decides at the open screenings in April and May which films will be included and shown in the July Festival Programme.
Internet: www.film-sharing.net
History:
The annual Film Festival was established in Vienna in 2003. Since then it turned into an annual event and has expanded mostly in Germany.
The main venues are now Stuttgart, Heilbronn and Mainz All films are collected and complied and then shown at these locations. Film makers, who fall loosely under the ‘independent film makers’ category, from throughout the world, submit their short films.
Annually, we receive about 3,000 films which we then sort and compile into thematic genres.
Point of Special Attention:
The Film Festival does not award any material or monetary prizes, rather it proudly offers the broad public and large audience. A prominent feature is the so-called
‘open screenings’ that present the full and rich character of the films including those that that receive less public attention. Over 200 people come together in both
cultural centres and restaurants to rate the submitted films from over 50 countries.
We will show all short films under 15 minutes and we look forward to receiving new productions as much as older short films or even youthful follies or transgressions!
The audience itself decides at the open screenings in May which films will be included and shown in the July Festival Programme.
All film makers, whose film is shown, will receive a laural and the Film Festival programme brochures.

FICSEM Festival, in the Mediterranean area.
For major reasons, and having been immersed in a situation in which we have all been affected, we have decided to adapt to the current situation, and give a new focus to our festival. Maintaining the enthusiasm and passion we feel for the artistic world.
Our festival is aimed at the dissemination and promotion of film authors related to topics of social and/or ecological value.
Because we believe in the power of art as a transformative medium, our contribution from this festival is to give visibility to projects that address environmental and social changes in which we are immersed. We are an international festival because we understand the world beyond barriers, and because we are moved by the need to get to know other cultures and share the best of ours, as it contributes to any improvement in any corner of the world.
The Mediterranean is the climate that surrounds us, and we feel identified with it. In terms of warmth, closeness and transparency. We are a festival that is starting strong, with a large number of committed artists who share our cause, and the desire to share.
And that is why we are not afraid to break the most classic festival patterns. So much so, that in the award for best actor and/or actress, the recognition of the award falls on their social and/or ecological work... And not only on their skills.
Despite having firm ideological foundations. We open ourselves to other artistic areas and initiatives.
The 4th FESTIVALITO will take place in September 2025, in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, Patagonia Argentina. After the launch, its traveling exhibition will begin in various cities and countries.
We want girls and boys to enjoy independent and auteur cinema designed for them :) We also invite them to debate and reflect after each performance, inviting them to actively participate in the artistic event.
