INTRODUCTION
Valdivia International Film Festival showcases Chilean and international cinema in four competitive categories: Feature Competition, Youth Feature Competition, Latin American and Caribbean Short Film Competition, Latin American and Caribbean Children’s Short Film Competition and the new Chilean Short Film Competition for Film Students. Its non-competitive program includes historical retrospectives, contemporary filmmakers’ retrospectives, political cinema, avant-garde cinema, genre, and a children-family oriented cinema slot.
1.- OBJECTIVES
The festival aims to offer Chilean and foreign filmmakers a place to screen and to compete, and by doing so, promoting national and international film works of artistic quality.
2. DATES
The festival will be held from October 14th to 20th, 2024, in Valdivia, Chile.
Since 2019 Yukasa, the first feminist house of Quindío, has been holding the Cine o Yuka Festival of LBTIQ Women Defending their Rights with the aim of promoting creation from the life experiences of diverse women and generating spaces for projection, encounter, dialogue and advocacy in the department through audiovisual works.
In the first edition of the festival we worked around the theme Always Visible Never Invisible, in the second edition it was Visible in Community. And for this third version, it will be Devenir Lesbica, which seeks to portray the different ways of being a lesbian in small and intermediate cities, where there are not many aesthetic or love references or construction of life projects outside the closet, and where people resort to different strategies to survive in the margins of sexuality. We are used to know the words butch and dyke as an insult, then we called ourselves gay and finally we recognized ourselves as lesbians.
The organizing team of the 3rd Festival Cine o Yuka, invites lesbians, butch and dyke womxn to send their audiovisual creations, whether or not they are professional or expert filmmakers. We will receive material created in different formats and genres, abstract productions, short films, cell phone videos, web series, performances and other audiovisual creation experiments, which do not exceed 60 minutes and that deal with the theme of this edition: Devenir Lesbica.
IPFF is on the path towards its fifth edition! Once again, we will celebrate short portrait cinema and art which explores, educates, and transforms.
PHILOSOPHY
A portrait is an image heavy with meaning. Layered and multifaceted, it has a visual, psychological, material, emotional and spiritual dimension. It can be political, conceptual, poetic. Or something else.
A portrait always undergoes a transformation. It imitates and repeats life, but becomes something or someone new along the way. It changes its original subject while capturing it. Then the portrait is transformed again through the mind of every brave interpreter.
A film portrait is a soul in the form of light encountering the canvas of the white screen while pairs of eyes are staring at its vastness. It is a trace. And a reverie. It is past, present, and future intertwined.
FOCUS
The portrait is the focus of the films that will be screened at the IPFF. We are looking for portrait films that have already been completed, as well as such that will be created with the concrete idea of 'portrait'. Of a person. A group of people. An object. Something invisible, but substantial. Of the self.
WELCOME
IPFF welcomes a wide range of films and filmmakers: students, professionals, from low budget to big-scale productions, alternative and independent films by individuals and by collectives or institutions.
AIM
IPFF aspires to bring together artists and viewers who sincerely long for enrichment with art, intellectual discussion, and an experience of cinema through a new prism - that of the portrait film.
CHARACTER
IPFF is a hybrid event. A symbiosis of intriguing live encounters and memorable virtual experiences. An interweaving of portrait cinema from around the world with debates, lectures, workshops.
DREAM
We dream and imagine that the IPFF is for those who profoundly need art and excitement. And for the ones who believe in cinema’s power to change us for the better. For the unafraid to search within the screen even when it offers a strange and experimental viewpoint, or difficult questions about human rights, war and the ecological crises of our shared present.

OUR FESTIVAL OUT OF POLITICS
It connects people, their kind hearts and creativity. The first festival was held in 2018 in Moscow, Russia, 2019 - in the capital of Belarus, Minsk, March 2021 - in Moscow and Podolsk.
FESTIVAL ORGANIZER
The festival is organized by the Vyatkin Publishing House. We publish books in author's gift and leather hand-made bindings, make documentaries, short-length films and presentation videos. The publishing house is a permanent member of international and Russian exhibitions, festivals and forums. The publishing house also participates in organizing charity events, psychological and thematic seminars, meetings with authors, film directors and actors.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE FESTIVAL
Our festival selects films based on the principle of dueling, as in sports. The films must pass through several stages: the official selection, the semi-final and the final. The final takes place in the form of a battle-duel, which is evaluated right in the hall by the filmmakers, the audience and the press.
The aim of the festival is to encourage young filmmakers to make new films, to appreciate their creativity and to introduce filmmakers to the culture and life of the world. We accept films of all genres from all over the world and give new filmmakers the opportunity to evaluate their films and compete with other famous filmmakers. These are films made from the heart and for people of all genres who deny aggression and war.
Each film that passes the official selection will receive laurels. And at the end of the festival, of course, a buffet and a photo shoot.
EVENTS DURING THE FESTIVAL
