El Festival de Cine latinoamericano de La Plata, FESAALP, con una trayectoria de ocho ediciones se ha transformado en una vidriera para el encuentro, la difusión y la promoción del cine del continente.
Buscamos difundir, exhibir y problematizar el cine de América Latina como lenguaje creativo, artístico e industrial. Además de contribuir al desarrollo de nuevas posibilidades y perspectivas para los cineastas, artistas que se dedican a contar historias y relatos a través del cine.
Afianzar el encuentro entre el público y su cine es el desafío mayor que desde el 2006 nos propusimos, y hoy nos encontramos con un festival con más secciones, películas, invitados, actividades formativas y espectadores.
Creemos que un festival no sólo debe ser un espacio para la exhibición, sino también el lugar que promueva el encuentro e intercambio de experiencias entre los realizadores y ayude a que las obras encuentren nuevos espacios donde poder ser vistas.
Es importante destacar y agradecer que desde el inicio contamos con el apoyo del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (INCAA), el Instituto Cultural de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, la Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Social de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, la Municipalidad de La Plata, y de otras instituciones y empresas privadas que se siguen sumando y depositando su confianza en el Festival.
El FESAALP crece y se afianza gracias al enorme talento de los realizadores latinos y a la siempre conmovedora pasión de los espectadores por el cine del continente.
Das erste und wichtigste Freak Festival in Spanien. Wir akzeptieren auch Horror und fantastischen Film. Mit einem Publikum von 1.800 Personen jeden Tag von Montag bis Freitag und wir würden gerne Ihre Kurzfilme zeigen.
DAS FESTIVAL: BEWEGUNG DER KULTUR
Das Festival wurde mit einer ganz bestimmten Mission ins Leben gerufen: Es zielt darauf ab, die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit auf einen offenen und breiten repräsentativen Raum wie die ländliche Umgebung zu lenken, und macht seine Außenprojektionen, die allen offen stehen, zum besten Exponent. Jugendliche und Erwachsene, Generationen, die durch Jahre und Erfahrungen getrennt sind, versammeln sich um eine Leinwand, auf der das Licht einer Vergangenheit und einer Zukunft im Mittelpunkt steht: Kultur ist zeitlos, Kultur verbindet, und die Filmsprache wird das gemeinsame Bindeglied sein, um Emotionen und Gefühle zu mildern, Erinnerungen zu bewahren und lebendige Zusammenkünfte zu provozieren.
Auf diese Weise können alle Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung eine heterogene und dynamische Rede genießen. Durch diesen kulturellen Impuls ermöglichen die unterschiedlichen Strömungen der Kreativität den Zuschauern, sich zu bewegen und neue und alte Codes im öffentlichen Raum zu erkunden und so eine Gemeinschaft zu schaffen.
