Open from March 2 to May 1, 2026
Voces Contra el Silencio, Video Independiente A.C., the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, with the support of TV UNAM and the UNAM Film Archive, invite filmmakers to participate in the fourteenth edition of the Hispano-American Independent Documentary Film and Video Encounter: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces, to be held from September 4 to 12, 2026, in Mexico City and in different states across the Mexican Republic, in a hybrid format.
The main objective of Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces is to serve as a window that brings together independent documentary cinema from Mexico, Latin America, and Spain, through free, accessible, and open spaces that embrace a diversity of perspectives, encourage collective action, and foster collaborative networks in support of the development of the documentary genre and the construction of a more just, equitable, and tolerant society.
Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces has explored new audiovisual exhibition alternatives, successfully reaching audiences it had never previously imagined. For this reason, in this thirteenth edition it has decided to maintain a hybrid format consisting of: in-person activities at various alternative film exhibition venues; on-demand content on the MXPLUS platform; and broadcasts on public television channels in Mexico City (Canal 11, Canal 21, Canal 22, and TV UNAM), as well as on public channels in other states across the country. Therefore, participation in this call implies acceptance that the documentary will be exhibited in these three formats during the fourteenth edition of the Encuentro Hispanomaericano de Cine y Video Documental Independiente: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces
