La Fundación Pública Andaluza Centro de Estudios Andaluces M.P. (Fundación CENTRA en adelante), entidad adscrita a la Consejería de la Presidencia, Interior, Diálogo Social y Simplificación Administrativa de la Junta de Andalucía, convoca de acuerdo con los principios de publicidad, concurrencia y objetividad la XVIII edición de los Premios IMAGENERA de Creación Documental sobre Andalucía, correspondientes a 2024.
IMAGENERA apuesta por promover el conocimiento y la investigación sobre Andalucía a través del lenguaje documental generando un patrimonio visual que preservar y difundir.
La 18 edición contempla las modalidades de Documental Audiovisual y Fotografía destinada a trabajos, sin acotación temática ni temporal, que presenten una imagen de Andalucía en su sentido más amplio y diverso:
• Trabajos visuales que logren representar o defender las oportunidades presentes y expectativas de futuro de la Comunidad Autónoma.
• Obras que exploren el pasado de Andalucía desde la perspectiva de nuestro tiempo.
• Aquellas que pongan en valor cualquier aspecto de la realidad andaluza que fomente nuestra Comunidad Autónoma como símbolo, imagen o icono de una comunidad moderna y versátil, dentro del contexto de España, Europa y el mundo.
• Se valorarán los trabajos que muestren con especial interés el rumbo de Andalucía en cohesión con sus valores sociales, económicos, tecnológicos, políticos o culturales.
FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de acontecimientos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.
Censurados Film Festival is a film festival that disseminates and makes visible “the cinema they don't want you to see.” Based in Peru, the festival is committed to freedom of expression, human rights and diversity through the screening of films and the organization of artistic and educational activities.
CATEGORIES
1. International Competition “Censorship”. Fiction, documentary, animation and/or cinematographic experimentation films from any part of the world that have been censored due to political, religious, corporate, authoritarian or social pressures or interests, among others, or that have been victims of threats and/or violence, either during its research, production or realization or in its subsequent exhibition and/or distribution. It is an essential requirement to provide demonstrable information about the censorship, threat, pressure or violence that the film has suffered. No duration limit.
2. Short Film Competition “Shorts without Cut”. Fiction, documentary, animation and/or cinematographic experimentation films from anywhere in the world and a maximum duration of 30 minutes that claim freedom of thought and expression without fear of cancellation, and political and social action in matters of public interest.
3. “Peruvian Voices” Competition. Fiction, documentary, animation and/or cinematographic experimentation films from Peru that allow dissident voices to be heard and make the viewer reflect on controversial topics, on which different groups have constructed apparently irreconcilable arguments, in order to create an open and elevated dialogue space on them. No duration limit.
