The third edition of the Chihuahua Film Festival (FECCH) will take place from June 3 to 7, 2025.
The FECCH arises from the need to broaden cultural and artistic perspectives in the north of the country, through cinematographic images.
Bringing together a variety of genres, from documentary to fiction, the productions that are exhibited accompany the FECCH's intention to promote cinematographic art.
From that point of view, we firmly believe that the FECCH will be a space for the creation of quality audiovisual content.

Laurel
The tradition of awarding a laurel wreath to the winner began in the Pythias at Delphi in Greece in, the 6th century BC.
They were organized in honor of the god Apollo, who usually appeared with a laurel wreath in memory of the nymph Daphne who transformed herself into a plant to escape his amorous moods. The plant was named "Daphne".

“The Quarantine” is an international short film festival aimed at popularizing young and unknown authors among professional filmmakers’ circles. The festival is organized on completely voluntary basis, there are no screening fees and nobody receives any payment.
The festival takes place on the beach at “The Quarantine” fishing village which is the last standing fishing village in Varna, Bulgaria. The village is in danger of disappearing because a luxury residential complex is under construction on the coastline behind it. By provoking cultural exchange between contemporary artists from the whole world and locals, we intend to turn the fishing village into a culture and art zone and to preserve the fishermen’s way of life.
The name of the region “The Quarantine” comes from the past when sailors from commercial ships entering the harbour with suspicion of some kind of disease were taken ashore at the beach for the quarantine period of 40 days. In case they showed no signs of illness, they were allowed access to town. At present, the young authors who have still not found their realisation are in the state of a “Quarantine” – isolated by professional filmmakers’ circles. In analogy to the history of the location, we decided to name the festival “The Quarantine”.

La GRAN pantalla is an intergenerational cinematographic meeting space that seeks to dismantle stereotypes about older people through cinema. We look for stories that allow us to generate new readings and discourses about older people, beyond the conventional representations that are usually associated with this stage of life.
La GRAN pantalla seeks to delve into topics such as the sexuality of older people, the digital divide, unwanted loneliness, palliative care, intergenerational dialogues, cohousing, LGBTIQ+ older people, dignified death, migrant older people and all the visions that this population group may have about contemporary social problems such as the climate crisis, demographic change, new forms of families and organization, international conflicts, urban planning, art and social change, etc.
The seventh edition of this contest will take place from 30 June to 4 July 2026 in the city of Barcelona with a showing in Mollet del Vallès and Sabadell (Catalonia).
La GRAN pantalla is an original idea of elParlante, an organization specialized in the design, implementation, and evaluation of communication strategies. For some years now, elParlante has been developing social projects for older people through theater, audiovisuals and formal education.
All official information will be published on our website: www.lagranpantallafestival.com, Facebook: www.facebook.com/lagranpantallabcn and media partners.

Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is one of the oldest world film forums (the second after the Venice Film Festival). The Moscow International Film Festival has been leading its history since 1935. Then the chairman of the jury was Sergey Eisenstein, and the film Chapaev opened the first festival. However, in subsequent years the festival was not held regularly.
Therefore, the Moscow International Film Festival has officially counted down since 1959, when it was renewed and turned into a regular event - it was carried out over odd years, alternating with the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. In 1999 MIFF became an annual event.
VinartFest es un evento artístico multidisciplinar en torno a la cultura del vino y su simbología que celebrará su quinta edición en mayo del 2025 en un entorno rural manchego como es Ventas de Alcolea, una pedanía casi despoblada entre las provincias de Albacete y Cuenca.

El festival es una iniciativa de la asociación sin ánimo de lucro, Asociación Cultural de Ventas de Alcolea.
Como parte del festival, la Asociación Cultural de Ventas de Alcolea, ha convocado el V Certamen de Microrrelato, Fotografía y Cortometrajes VinartFest 2025, que se unirán al resto de actividades que se programarán en el marco del Festival.
