El Festival Nacional de Cine y Video Comunitario del Distrito de Aguablanca -
FESDA tiene como objetivos principales: generar un espacio que incentive y
fortalezca los procesos de creación audiovisual comunitario en Colombia así
como formar un público frente a la recepción de estas obras.
Entendemos el audiovisual comunitario como un proceso de realización audiovisual que se gesta de forma colectiva, a partir de procesos de capacitación o con las habilidades que las comunidades tienen para narrar con imagen y
sonido sus propias historias. Un ejercicio que apuesta por el empoderamiento de
las comunidades a partir del impulso de herramientas y habilidades comunicativas. Las piezas que surgen, aportan a la dinamización de procesos sociales, a la articulación de los tejidos comunitarios, a la pluralización de voces
y narrativas y a la incidencia dentro de las agendas políticas, sociales y culturales
de estas comunidades
1. Para el cumplimiento de estos objetivos el FESDA celebrará su 9ª Edición del 17
al 21 de Octubre de 2017. El tema que da sentido a esta edición es “Territorios,
revelando resistencias”2.
1 Entendemos que muchas de las piezas que se presentarán tendrán el enfásis en alguna de
estas cualidades, sin desconocer que en cada territorio se desarrollan otras formas de pensar y ejercer el audiovisual comunitario.
2 El tema que nos convoca en este 9ª festival, surge con la intención de abonar a una reflexión sobre los procesos de resistencia que en nuestro país se están dando a propósito del cuidado y dignificación de los territorios. Partimos de la relación de cuerpo y territorio, y reivindicamos que en ese ejercicio de contar nuestros territorios (los que habitamos y los que nos obligaron a dejar) y las luchas que hay en ellos, estamos revelando resistencias.

Officially selected films in 2015 had directors who were as young as 22, and as old as 68. Selected films represented countries from around the world, including Japan, France, Denmark, Germany, Iran, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, China, and the USA. We consider all works regardless of genre and country of origin.
We are currently accepting film submissions for the 2016 Festival!
Who we are: The Cape Cod International Film Festival is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization that hosts an annual event showcasing the best local, regional, national (USA) and International films for residents of the "mid-Cape,", as well as traveling tourists, visitors from around the world, and film industry professionals. We strive to strike a balance between the film-making world and a general audience who is in need of an engaging cultural event. Our attendees tend to be well-traveled, educated, influential and supportive.
The objectives of the CCIFF are to:
1. Select and promote the absolute best films in any given year produced by a diverse and global pool of filmmaking teams.
2. Provide educational opportunities and entertainment for audience members who appreciate the effort that goes into making a quality film.
3. Provide networking opportunities for members of the film community.
4. Provide filmmakers an opportunity to interact with their audience via Q&A sessions at screenings (live and online), social events and sponsorship events.
5. Give filmmakers and production teams a chance to travel to a highly-regarded tourist destination known throughout the world for its food, beaches and "New England hospitality."
In the works for 2016 is an opening night gala on Thursday, October 6th, at the best film theater on Cape Cod: The Chatham Orpheum. The Orpheum is an all-digital cinema with a 150-seat main room and 35-seat screening room. Select short films will be showcased again in Orleans, Cape Cod at the Main Street Wine and Gourmet film loft.
We also strive to help filmmakers find a "home" for their work, and have evolving relationships with sales agencies, distributors and broadcasters. Our current slate of contacts includes: PBS, ESPN, TBS, A24, Screen Media Ventures, Shoreline Entertainment, and The Rainbow Group - with new relationships being established all the time...
We consider ourselves a boutique event, with 318 submissions in 2015. Larger festivals with a similar approach include the Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF), Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSFilmFest), and Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF). We aim to serve and champion high-quality work that is not industry-centric. We leave that to Cannes, Berlin, Toronto (TIFF), SXSW and Sundance. The CCIFF aspires to be one of the world's best film festivals worth the entry fee!
Thank you to our platform partners: FilmFreeway, and our media partner, the Cape Cod Times. Thank you to the local businesses who have supported us: Chatham Orpheum, Main Street Wine and Gourmet, The Chocolate Sparrow, Sunbird Cafe, Rockland Trust, Tom Bromley of CentreGrafik, Snow Library, Flowers by Mary, and The Little Inn on Pleasant Bay.
And special thanks to all who participated in the 2015 event, especially the talented filmmakers who flew (and drove) from far and wide to attend, talk with audience members and participate in Q&A sessions!

By recreating the film festival experience online and offering it for free, as well as holding live events simultaneously around the globe, our short film festival will bring a much higher viewership than any other festival in the world.
A live, online, interactive, global, short film festival that extends and broadens viewers outside the common film festival experience and allows a much larger audience to enjoy the films from the comforts of their own homes.
The Unofficial Google+ Film Festival is complete with several film panels as well as live Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after each block of short films. This new and innovative festival is the future of the digital age for filmmakers and film fans everywhere. Movies are seen by thousands of attentive and film loving people around the world all at the same time (instead of being limited by a smaller geographical location).
Our mission is to become the world’s premier online, interactive, short film, and web series film festival to close out the year of all other film festivals.
In addition, select films will be invited to be seen at the Sunur Village Festival from August 19 - August 23 as well as the Open Air Cinema at Kuta Beach, Bali at the Blue Sapphire Club & Bar at the Stones Entertainment Centre from September 18 - September 20, 2015
