Being a dissident in a square society represents a challenge, and not only that, it allows seeking alternatives to get out of that box. For us, being dissidents has meant fighting against stigma and discrimination, however, that has given us the opportunity to open paths that have been difficult to walk, but in each fall we have found people who help us move forward.
In audiovisual production, as in our lives, being a dissident has meant looking for other ways of telling stories, other ways of bringing them to the screen. Creative ways to talk about sensitive issues, or to sensitize ourselves to reality. In any case, dissident production has been a constant since the constant innovation of technology and, in the context of the pandemic, other ways of telling stories have emerged.
We invite you to join us on this journey and enjoy the dissident production.

Murud janjira beach festival (Murud janjira paryatan mahotsav) is held every year in murud janjira.
this festival is celebrated with enthusiasm for last 20 years. This year we are including a film festival for the first time.
this is our effort to take the film festival to the same level as the Murud beach festival.
Janjira International Film Festival will be conducted in the 4th week of December every year at the picturesque and adorable city of Murud - Janjira in Maharashtra, India .being one of the most beautiful tourist destinations, Murud-janjira sets the right arena for JIFF. JIFF welcomes film makers, artists and technical crew, journalists and all those are associated with film industry and film making to come and participate in this festival.
The festival had its first edition in 2013 and has been organized annually since then by Associação Cultural Periferias in Portugal and Gato Pardo in Spain.
The project was born from a citizen initiative, supported by the municipality of Marvão from the beginning, and grew thanks to the support of diverse sponsors and collaborators.
Meanwhile, a new step was taken with the inclusion of Valencia de Alcântara (Spain) on the Festival map, thanks to the interest and involvement of the local government, Filmoteca de Extremadura and Diputación de Cáceres.
It is the intention of the organizers to contribute to an effective cultural decentralization.
We want to make accessible goods and services traditionally concentrated in big cities and which hardly reach rural populations.
EYESIGHT
We believe that it is possible, with this strategy, to locally implement a film culture that, in the medium term, allows for the creation of a more conscious audience endowed with a plural thinking that promotes contact with art, not only as a space for leisure, but as a critical thinking platform that reflects and interacts with today's world.
The organization of the festival, with all the activities and logistics involved, constitutes a significant boost to economic activity in the most diverse areas.
We offer an opportunity for the promotion and dissemination of local products and brands. We create conditions to attract tourism flows, especially tourism that is more committed to cultural and ecological aspects.
We contribute to the local, national and international dissemination of the brand and socio-cultural identity of the municipalities of Marvão and Valencia de Alcântara.

El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de acontecimientos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
