True to David Reuben's classic book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask " we love movies that give us new insights on topics like sexual liberation, erotic fantasies, BDSM, sexual shame, cultural sexual diffrences, the "new" prudery, pornography, the impact of the internet porn on our sexuality and sex activism. The discourse with the filmmakers and actors is very important to us. Therefore we try to invite as many protagonists and directors as possible to our festival and thus offer the audience the opportunity for a dialogue.

„In einer Zeit globaler Spannungen ist Humor kein Ausweg — er ist das ausgeklügelteste Instrument, das wir für kritisches Denken und soziale Transformation haben.“
FARCUME 2026: Das 16. Internationale Kurzfilmfestival von Faro
Nach fünf Jahren beispiellosen Wachstums ist FARO 1540 (Verband zur Verteidigung und Förderung des Umwelt- und Kulturerbes von Faro) stolz darauf, die 16. Ausgabe von FARCUME bekannt zu geben. Das Festival kehrt vom 16. bis 18. Oktober 2026 in das Herz von Faro, Portugal, zurück und festigt damit seinen Ruf als wahrhaft internationales und kosmopolitisches Kulturdenkmal.
Unsere Mission bleibt unerschütterlich: neuen Talenten eine Startrampe zu bieten und qualitativ hochwertige Werke der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, denen es oft an der allgemeinen Förderung mangelt, die sie verdienen. In unserer für uns typischen entspannten und informellen Atmosphäre würdigt FARCUME die Kreativität und das Engagement von Regisseuren, Schauspielern und technischen Teams, die mit bescheidenen Mitteln filmische Exzellenz erreichen.
Das Thema 2026: Humor als eine Art, die Welt zu denken
In diesem Jahr untersucht FARCUME das Konzept des Lachens als raffinierte kritische Sprache. In einer Zeit sich überschneidender ökologischer, sozialer und politischer Krisen dient Humor als Brücke. Er ermöglicht uns:
Dekonstruieren Sie vorherrschende Narrative und soziale Normen.
Überbrücken Sie die Kluft zwischen komplexen Themen wie Nachhaltigkeit und Verständnis in der Öffentlichkeit.
Dialog durch Satire, Ironie und Absurdes, um die Widersprüche unserer Zeit aufzudecken.
Wir suchen mehr als nur ein kurzes Lachen, wir suchen Filme in den Bereichen Fiktion, Dokumentation und Animation, die Humor als Mittel der Reflexion nutzen — Werke, die die Welt lesbarer und letztlich menschlicher machen.
Engagement für Ethik und Umwelt
Als Nichtregierungsorganisation im Umweltbereich sorgt FARO 1540 dafür, dass FARCUME mehr als nur eine Leinwand für Filme ist; es ist eine Plattform für Werte. Das Festival verfolgt eine strikte ethische Haltung und lehnt jegliche Inhalte ab, die zu Respektlosigkeit gegenüber der Umwelt, Ungleichheit der Menschenrechte oder Tiermissbrauch ermutigen.
Darüber hinaus setzen wir einen speziellen Umweltmanagementplan für 2026 um, um Ressourcen zu optimieren und Abfall zu minimieren. So stellen wir sicher, dass der Fußabdruck des Festivals genauso verantwortungsbewusst ist wie die Geschichten, die wir erzählen.
Feiern Sie mit uns in Faro ein Kino, das aufklärt, provoziert und mobilisiert — ohne jemals seine Leichtigkeit zu verlieren.
