The 2nd ITAICINE – Itaiópolis International Animation Short Film Festival will take place from September 25 to 28, 2025, in the city of Itaiópolis-SC, Brazil.

The ITAICINE program includes screenings of national and international animated films, divided among the Competitive Short Film Section, Special Non-Competitive Showcases of short and feature films, masterclasses, debates, lectures, and workshops.

The main goal of the Festival is to promote, disseminate, and value the production of animated short films, encompassing both national and international works created from 2023 onwards. The festival aims to establish itself as a permanent space for audience development, with a special focus on children, teenagers, and young people, offering an accessible, inclusive, and culturally diverse program.

By encouraging contact with different languages and artistic expressions through animation, ITAICINE seeks to stimulate critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural dialogue, contributing to the formation of new perspectives and sensibilities.

Additionally, the festival is committed to decentralizing access to culture by promoting its activities in Itaiópolis (SC) — a city outside the major urban centers — reaffirming the importance of cultural events in territories often distant from the traditional exhibition and festival circuits. In doing so, ITAICINE strives to democratize access to audiovisual content, foster exchanges between filmmakers and the local audience, and strengthen the independent animation scene.

The Xilitla Film Fest aims to promote national and international cinema in its various expressions and genres.

Mexico's most surreal site proudly presents the third edition of its International Film Festival, also known as Xilitla Film Fest.

Located in the magical town of the Sierra Madre Occidental, with its lush tropical forest, this place captivated Edward James, who built his surreal garden here—a monument to an overflowing imagination.

In 2025, this festival will once again take place, celebrating cinematic diversity through a wide range of genres and styles, including documentary, fantasy, horror, magical realism, science fiction, erotic, porn, musical and many other innovative proposals.

The festival is organized by Centro James, Cervecería James, and the Edward James Museum, with the support of the Centro de las Artes S.L.P, the Municipality of Xilitla, and the State Tourism Department of San Luis Potosí, in partnership with the Ibero-American Network of Festivals.

Cinalfama Lisbon International Film Festival

Lisbon, Portugal


The Cinalfama Lisbon International Film Festival is an annual outdoor event located in the heart of Lisbon's historic neighborhood, Alfama. For a week, we occupy the street with independent films from around the world.

OPEN CALL

We welcome submissions from independent directors, screenwriters, and composers who want to see their work screened at the white walls of Alfama.

ABOUT CINALFAMA

Cinalfama Lisboa International Film Festival celebrates the rich cultural and historical tapestry of one of the city's most iconic areas, providing a unique platform for independent filmmakers worldwide.

We aim to promote cultural and artistic diversity through cinema, highlighting works that address relevant, innovative, and provocative themes. With a carefully curated selection of films, our goal is to offer the audience an engaging and diverse cinematic experience.

To believe in an independent film festival in the streets of one of Lisbon's historic neighborhoods inevitably absorbed by gentrification is to persist and pursue a community utopia where cinema plays a restorative role.
In this context, Cinalfama has been developing a pilot program to collect stories and orality from residents and spaces in the neighborhood, in an attempt to rescue the essence of this population.

Several of the directors who make up the Cinalfama team, such as Pedro Costa, Leonor Teles, and Pedro Cabeleira, are taking part in this pressing project, whose collections are being screened at the Cinalfama Lisboa International Film Festival.

Cinalfama holds a second Open Call for the Film Observatory - regular competitive sessions three times a year (January, April, and October) - with different categories.
