The Valencia International Artificial Intelligence Film Festival (FESTIAV) is a pioneering cultural event dedicated exclusively to audiovisual works generated using artificial intelligence, understood as a tool at the service of creativity and always respecting the intellectual property and authorship of the different sectors. From the Valencian Community, the festival was born with a global vocation: to become an international reference point in the convergence between technology, creativity and new digital narratives. Its mission is to promote artistic innovation, promote critical analysis of the role of AI in the visual arts and position Valencia as a creative hub connected to the main audiovisual experimentation centers in the world.
In its 2nd edition, FESTIAV will screen 20 short films—fiction, historical, comedy, Valencian and horror generated with AI—along with a professional program composed of presentations and roundtable discussions with international experts, a technical talk on creative processes with AI and a networking session that will bring together creators, producers and agents from the sector, both local and from other countries. A professional and independent jury will be in charge of evaluating the works and awarding cash prizes to the most outstanding proposals.
FESTIAV aspires to consolidate itself as a platform with global reach, where filmmakers, technologists, digital artists, researchers and students from different parts of the world can connect, share knowledge and discover the possibilities of cinema generated through artificial intelligence. From Valencia to the world, the festival promotes local talent and integrates it into a growing international scene.
We are waiting for you in Valencia!Valencian Community.

Islands in music & video
Oceans and seas cover 71% of the earth's surface, produce half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb 25% of carbon dioxide, capture 90% of the additional heat generated by these emissions and feed 3, 2 billion people. The oceans, seas & marine resources, lungs of the earth, are essential for sustainable development.
Promoting the heritage and creativity of the world's islands and caring for the oceans & seas is a major factor in developing the blue bio-economy, which is why we adopted it as the main axes of our cultural and media project.
The islands of the world, through the oceans and the continents of the planet, conceal important cultural and patrimonial wealth, as much by their variety, their specificity as by their authenticity. The islanders, being cut off from the continent, are forced to live in osmosis with their environment, to vibrate to the rhythm of the elements of their natural setting, and to dominate the rigors of their daily life by giving free rein to their creative imagination and their innovative spirit. In this perspective, artistic creativity is the best support for the expression of their dreams, their emotions & their collective memory
CINETORO 2026
Converging Boundaries
#MIRAYESCUCHADIFERENTE
Under the concept of Converging Boundaries, CINETORO 2026 proposes a curatorial framework inspired by the force of tectonic collision. Just as, in geology, a convergent boundary is the space where two plates collide to destroy the old and raise new mountain ranges and volcanoes, this edition seeks films in which the impact between languages generates new ways of seeing and hearing. We move away from the static reading of maps — those arbitrary divisions of dots and lines — to focus instead on the energy that emerges within the zone of contact, where the friction between the human and the non-human, or between the here and the elsewhere, constructs new narrative geographies.
CINETORO 2026 calls for works that explore processes of collision and emergence. We seek films that use experimentation as a tool to blur political and social boundaries, proposing perspectives that recognize the continuity of the jungle or the vastness of the desert beyond geographical fictions. How does perception transform when cinematic form itself becomes the result of a clash of forces?
In this edition, the border is not an impenetrable wall, but a living zone of creation; a space of formal risk that challenges pre-established categories and allows us to understand, through cinema at the margins, what new unions emerge when we dare to inhabit the liminal state. We seek films that inhabit the interstice: the space that exists precisely in the middle of the line, inviting audiences into a cinematic experience where genres do not simply intersect, but transform one another. We are interested in a cinema of hybridization where documentary, animation, and fiction function like tectonic plates in constant motion.
This is an invitation to a cinema unafraid of crossing and dissolving boundaries; a cinema that inhabits the periphery and the frontier in order to raise, from the margins, new and necessary mountains of imagination.

A university film festival for animation
A festival born from creativity
In this second edition, we once again chose to focus on what inspires us most: talent. As part of a creative exercise within the Art Direction course, fourth-year Animation students, guided by our director Blanca Bonet, immersed themselves in a process of exploration full of references, concepts, and possibilities. From that journey, several proposals emerged, which were first voted on by the students themselves and ultimately gave rise to this year’s concept and official poster.
The inspiration for this edition comes from nature: those wild yet mythical worlds that inhabit our collective imagination. References such as Princess Mononoke helped us understand the relationship between the magical and the ancestral, between stone-carved figures that seem to belong to a culture yet to be discovered, and the inevitable question of who, or what being, could have created such extraordinary structures.
The invitation behind this concept is clear: step into this forest with us, lose yourself among its shapes, and let yourself be surprised as you discover the incredible talents that will bring the festival to life.
KinoToy Cinema Artesanal invites you to participate in the second edition of KinoToy Fest - KinoToy International Short Film Festival, whose mission is to promote the talent and creativity of emerging and established filmmakers.

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.

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
