The Latin American Festival of Visual Anthropology (FLAV) is an academic and cultural initiative organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Universidad Diego Portales. It is dedicated to exhibiting and collectively reflecting upon visual anthropology and contemporary audiovisual practices within the Latin American context. To this end, the festival bridges practices from anthropology, filmmaking, and the visual arts through screenings, exhibitions, panel discussions, symposia, and workshops. We look for works created and produced by Latin American filmmakers or by creators from other regions whose work focuses on Latin American themes.
The festival aims to establish itself as a meaningful space for convergence in the Latin American context, promoting interdisciplinary exchanges, methodological reflections on research-creation, and the development of academic and creative networks with regional and international reach. Furthermore, this initiative seeks to foster languages that explore the social realm from sensitive, experimental, and critical perspectives.
In its inaugural edition, FLAV is particularly interested in short films that challenge the boundaries between cinema, art, and research. We look for proposals that do not merely attempt to represent reality, but rather activate sensitive forms of knowledge, exploring diverse questions through formal devices, engagement with archival materials, and collaborative creative processes.

WHO IS HUGO LEDUC? (Organizer)
Author and director, Hugo Leduc develops a universe anchored in thriller, science fiction and anticipation, through works with metaphorical dimensions exploring humans, time, memory and death. His work is distinguished by demanding stories,
carried by an immersive staging and marked twists and turns. He collaborates with actors such as Tom Vallejo, Benjamin Cotte, Marine Arlen, Jean Rigal, Paola Marques Dos Santos and Éloïse Le Baud.
Strengthened by this background and confronted with the limits of diffusion of these genres in traditional circuits,
he founded the Singularity Film Festival, with the ambition of broadening the visibility of science fiction, fantasy and thriller cinema, and of offering a structuring platform to emerging talents, of which he himself is a part.
The theme must focus, from the values of solidarity, tolerance, culture of peace, nature and commitment to gender equality, on ways of life, traditions, trades, crafts, sustainable economy, respect for the environment and living beings, that is, all aspects of the diversity of human culture, with a specific section dealing with issues of the peoples of Siberia and Central Asia.
