FECIUCH is a public university film festival that seeks to promote audiovisual and cinematic culture at the national level, fostering the inclusion of regional schools and valuing audiovisual works not only for their artistic and social content, but also for their treatment of language, form, and critical perspective, created within student learning environments.
Through this festival, we aim to bring together a broad community of students, professors, and alumni, creating a diverse and open university meeting point—an artistic space for the community, an exhibition, discussion, and development for emerging voices and perspectives. We seek to promote contemporary cinema that, faced with the challenges of modernity and limited resources, embraces innovation and reinvention.
We believe in cinema that, far from replicating established formulas, dares to explore new perspectives, languages, and narrative forms. Cinema that, despite limited access to resources, amplifies the authenticity of its voices, creativity, and commitment to expression through learning and experimentation. This space seeks to showcase works born from the urgent need to create, engaging with the present and projecting the future of cinema from a student perspective, exploring and breaking down the established boundaries of the industry.
In this and future editions, we will work to expand our reach to promote and support the development of works at various stages of production, as well as serve as a bridge between university-based creative work and the industry. Furthermore, in this edition, we have partnered with UChile TV as a media partner and with the National School of Cinematographic Arts (ENAC) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, thus beginning a process of international expansion. The first stage of this collaboration is being carried out through non-competitive screenings, with the intention of gradually incorporating these into the festival's competitive framework.

The festival is a hub where our visionary team organises and stimulates film-related activities to accompany a quality program—robust, eclectic, adventurous—and where emerging talent meets prestigious guests. This is what makes BISFF unique: every year it attracts distinct personalities from the field, who rediscover the magic of cinema at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
At BISFF, we represent the strength and impact of short films, filmmakers and film-related art, contributing to a culture built on foundations of mutual respect and dignity. BISFF aspires to create an environment where everyone has the freedom to express him or herself, without fear of harassment, intimidation, discrimination, sexism, or other disrespectful behaviors.
-Vision
BISFF embraces short films, a vibrant film category that deserves more attention both from the industry and the audience in China. We believe in the power of short films to encourage meaningful conversations and infuse positive social change. We welcome and motivate both emerging talents and established filmmakers from all backgrounds in their artistic endeavors. We collectively strive to expand the creative space for film citizenship and celebrate the diverse forms of cinema. We accept challenges head-on.
-Mission
We aim to provide a showcase for various genres of short films around the world every year and promote independent filmmaking of artistic merits, acknowledging and appreciating new perspectives and expressions, creating a space for inspiration to spark, a platform that stimulates cross-border conversations with contemporary art and technology worlds.

This is our 13th Year running Jewish Film Festivals. Veteran Film Festival Directors Wendy Honig, Lesley Rich and Arleen Roberts invite you to join our new International Jewish Film Festival.

3rd Jalgaon International Film Festival rewards the best and most outstanding project / films from around the globe.
We consider the art of filming an essential component of our lives and encourage works that use powerful narration in order to create a unique vision.
The cinema as a tool of fiction relies on an easy, central assertion: to tell is to feel empathic. There is no story to tell without the "Other". Because the audience empathizes with the characters, within the vast universe of all the stories that can be invented, he/she can experience those patterns of emotions that otherwise would be lost.
Jalgaon Short & International Film Festival dedicated to finding those remarkable works that may otherwise be overlooked or snubbed.
We accept short films of all genres. Our mission is to encourage and support filmmakers throughout the world in order to provide the recognition they deserve.
Every submission can also add additional categories, increasing the chances to become multi-award-winning.
The overall winner will be awarded during the ceremony at the stunning city of Jalgaon in Dec 2026

XIBALBÁ – VI LATIN AMERICAN HORROR FILM FESTIVAL
In Mayan mythology, Xibalbá is the underworld ruled by the deities of disease and death, equivalent to the underworld in other cultures. It is an important part of the mythical cycle of the twins Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué, narrated in the sacred book Popol Vuh of the K’iche’ Maya culture. The name of this festival was conceived as a tribute to our Mesoamerican culture and its richness, framed within an oral tradition filled with myths, legends, supernatural beings, horror, and fantasy.
Xibalbá Terror was founded in Guatemala in 2021 with the goal of promoting horror cinema created in our region, fostering a space for dialogue and exchange between genre audiences and filmmakers. Throughout its first five editions, the festival has experienced exponential growth, not only in audience reach but also in the variety of events and sections it offers. Xibalbá takes place in six cities across Guatemala, in cultural centers and alternative screening venues. We showcase horror and fantasy short and feature films, including all their subgenres and variations. In addition, we maintain partnerships with other festivals and platforms that strengthen the circulation of Latin American cinema.
Alongside the exhibition and competition of films, the festival features a training and educational space called Xibalbá Industria, where we offer workshops, masterclasses, and talks aimed at filmmakers and artists interested in horror and fantasy cinema. Within this section, we organize the Horror Project Clinic, dedicated to strengthening feature film projects in development, in partnership with other training initiatives across Latin America. We also encourage the production of horror stories through initiatives such as our one-minute film competition.
The festival also hosts a variety of live events, including performances, artistic interventions, and musical presentations, among others. One of the highlights is the Horror Cine-Concert, held annually and designed to transform each evening into an immersive and memorable experience.
For this VI edition, we will continue growing with more screening venues, more cities, and new sections. The underworld awaits us!
The festival program and all related activities can be found on our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok: @XibalbaTerror) and on our website: www.xibalbaterror.com

Muestra de Cortometrajes de Molinos (Teruel)
OBJETIVOS
Dinamizar el entorno rural a través de la celebración de esta iniciativa, poco frecuente en núcleos pequeños, y que suponga un hito cultural para la zona (Teruel-Maestrazgo-Bajo Aragón), y en concreto para el pueblo de Molinos.
Fomentar la creatividad como poder comunicador y transformador del entorno.
SOBRE MOLINOS
El municipio de Molinos, precursor del Parque Cultural del Maestrazgo, se encuentra en el noroeste de la comarca, a 838 metros de altitud. Se ubica al pie del Poyo Ambasaguas, emplazamiento en el que se asentó la antigua fortaleza calatrava.
Hoy se presenta como unos de los principales atractivos turísticos de la zona, con un núcleo monumental de plazas porticadas y edificios singulares medievales. En la entrada a la villa se encuentra el Salto de San Nicolás, una imponente caída de agua que parece surgir de las mismas casas, algo nada habitual en el interior de una localidad, y que solo se puede salvar gracias a un bello puente de sillería, colgado entre dos riscos y protegido por la torre de la Peña del Castillo.
Pero Molinos guarda un tesoro natural. Uno de los principales atractivos de su término municipal son las Grutas de Cristal, un gran conjunto de formaciones kársticas, únicas en Europa, donde abundan sorprendentes estalactitas y estalagmitas.
En los últimos años además es un centro precursor de referencia para actividades culturales en el ámbito rural de la zona, impulsado por su Ayuntamiento, y por la Asociación para el Desarrollo del Maestrazgo (ADEMA), con sede en la misma localidad.
