Cachaça Filmes has held the festival since 2009. It always brings in nationally renowned filmmakers and artists from the area, aiming to offer culture and leisure options, and to favor the region's economy. In the short term we intend to bring an “elite” audience to Vila de Paranapiacaba, and in the medium and long term to bring cinematographic productions to the region.
We also have the Short and Feature Films Contest.

The ELCO 2025 Competition
Discover the competition categories and everything you need to know to submit your film to ELCO 2025: A festival that opens borders, reaching 6 countries and 16 cities.
The ELCO Film Festival classifies aspiring works into three sections, aiming to showcase the talent competing with their diverse works in the festival. We'll award feature films, short films, and music videos in our 13th ELCO edition.
In the feature film section, we'll award categories for fiction, documentary, and animation in a single competition for Venezuela. Likewise, in Argentina, Colombia, Spain, the USA, and the Dominican Republic, we'll exclusively award the best fiction feature film from each country, respectively. These latter winners will then compete for the "Best Foreign Film ELCO 2025" award.
Similarly, in the short film section in Venezuela, we'll award fiction, documentary, and animation. And specifically to encourage local production, within the same short film section, for the first time we'll award the best short film from each Venezuelan region. This means this year we'll specially recognize local talent from the venues in Caracas, Maracaibo, Calabozo, Ciudad Bolívar, Ciudad Guayana, Mérida, Margarita, Lechería, and La Victoria. In Argentina, Colombia, Spain, the USA, and the Dominican Republic, we'll also award the best fiction short film from each country, respectively.
In a different approach, the music video section will award the best international ELCO music video, a competition where all competitors from ELCO 2025 countries will meet and be judged.
Founded in 2000, The Valley Film Festival (VFF) is a non-profit project of Community Partners ® and is the first and longest continually running film festival in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, headquartered in the NoHo Arts District.
Now in its 20th year, VFF supports local and international voices that advance storytelling, while furthering the education, production, and exhibition of film. In 2010, the City of Los Angeles recognized our cultural contributions with the city seal, and in 2018 the California State Senate stood with us #UnitedByFilm in our efforts to practice conscious programming to unite the international film community.
The Festival is supported by a dynamic community of companies, filmmakers, and moviegoers, that make it possible for VFF to offer year-round programming:
THE VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL
*In 2019, we expanded from a five-day showcase of film screenings to nine days of live music, book readings/signings, screenplay workshops, professional development panels, a distribution symposium, networking, daily happy hours and, of course, film screenings.
FOCUS ON: Series
*Educational panels in The Valley’s schools (Art Institute, Columbia College Hollywood, and New York Film Academy) that bring our network of industry experts together to share relevant, practical knowledge on navigating the industry
THE VALLEY FILM MARKET
*Previously under our Focus On: series, we’ve pulled out our film sales & distribution events to create THE VALLEY FILM MARKET. Our inaugural symposium included panels and a one-on-one matchmaking event between filmmakers & distributors.
VFF screens shorts, features, documentaries, animated films, experimental works, web series, music videos, and more. If you're unsure if your film fits our programming, please review our archives before submitting.
