Membrana is the Latin word for film, and we are incredibly excited to bring the Membrana Film Festival to you, and to dig deep into the roots of the magic that is filmmaking.

Cinema not only tells stories, it transports cultures, traditions, and emotions. It is a window to unknown worlds, an invitation to explore realities that, although distant, resonate in the depths of our humanity.
Today, we invite you to open that window and immerse yourself in a unique cinematic experience: the Honduran Film Festival.
For the first time in this space, we bring a visual journey that captures the essence of Honduras through the eyes of its most daring and talented filmmakers. From the majestic natural landscapes to the vibrant stories of its people, this exhibition is a tribute to the art, identity, and passion of a country that, although small in size, is immense in creativity and expression.

FICAR Entrimo 2025 Short Film Festival
"Youth and the Rural Environment"
The 2025 Short Film Festival aims to promote audiovisual creation and give visibility to the stories, challenges, and realities of youth in rural areas.
This edition seeks to highlight the creativity of both emerging and established filmmakers who portray in their works the life, struggles, dreams, and culture of new generations in rural communities.
Intras, mental health and culture: ‘Visionando’
In Intras we think that mental health is a very broad term that recognizes cultural, social, philosophical and historical aspects beyond the purely biological and sanitary. That is why this Festival seeks to collect and show all possible views in order to make visible different realities and combat the stigmas associated with mental health problems.
From this perspective we present the II International Festival of short films ‘Visionando’ to be held between October and November 2025 in the city of Valla-dolid as the main venue.
Why ‘Visionando’?
‘Visionando' was born in 2023 as a film series with the collaboration of the City Council of Valladolid, creating a space in the city to reflect on mental health. In the last quarter of the year, 5 films were screened followed by a colloquium with mental health, film and media professionals. They addressed different perspectives on mental health: family, emotional and social relationships, care, the passage through psychiatric units, new technologies and their impact, gender violence and its therapeutic approach, community integration and the importance of employment as a normalizing tool.
One of the largest and undoubtedly one of the most important film festivals in Croatia is moving forward! The 19th Vukovar Film Festival will take place from August 27th to 30th,
2025, thus staying in its familiar and much-loved time slot—at the end of summer, right between the end of the vacation season and the start of the new school year.
Founded in 2007, the festival is dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary cinema from around the world, with a special focus on films from the Danube region countries.
The festival typically features a variety of film categories, including feature films, short films and documentaries. It highlights works that deal with global issues, social themes, and personal stories, offering a platform for emerging filmmakers as well as established names. VFF is known for its welcoming atmosphere and connecting filmmakers.
A signature feature of the Vukovar Film Festival is its location in the historic town of Vukovar, offering a unique setting that enhances the festival experience. Vukovar’s remarkable architectural and cultural backdrop is making the festival not just a celebration of cinema, but also a tribute to the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
Held under the open sky, the festival's central screen is located in the unique park of Eltz Castle, which itself provides an unforgettable setting and backdrop for both the opening and closing ceremony. The city of Vukovar is in those days is a place where people that are making the films and people that are enyojing the films are met.
Cinema under the stars is a special experience on all four days of the festival, from Wednesday to Saturday. On Wednesday, August 27, the festival's grand opening and film screenings will be held in the gardens of Eltz Castle, on Thursday, August 28 and Friday, August 29, regular screenings will be held, and on August 30, film screenings, a closing ceremony and awards ceremony will be held. Representatives of films nominated in the official competition will receive an invitation to live screenings and the festival itself.
The festival's commitment to innovation, creativity, and artistic expression has made it a key player in the regional film festival scene.
The Festival was born from a deep desire to allow an authentic cultural exchange.
For directors from all over the world, arriving in Zagora is truly a unique experience, which allows them to get closer to traditional Berber culture, culture understood in the broad sense of cinema, music, cuisine, spirit, nature and hospitality.
During the Festival, daily excursions are organized to discover the wonders of the place: Tamegroute, the Amezrou casbah, the Koranic Library etc…
The Festival has two sections:
• The Documentary Competition
• The Short Film Competition (max 15 minutes)
The Jury is the same for both sections.
The screenings take place inside the city's cultural center and also on a large screen set up in the desert.
A short distance from Ouarzazate, the major city of the Moroccan film industry, Zagora today represents the most important point of reference for cinema at the gates of the desert.
An unforgettable journey through the Atlas will allow you to discover a country rich in ancient traditions and at the same time very attentive to creative and artistic innovations.
NIFF is a space for criticism, denunciation, impact and social growth through the dissemination and promotion of cinema.
NIFF aims to be a statement against non-involvement, disregard and lack of commitment, which is the real disease of this century, where we produce more than we can consume, and happiness is subject to the law of supply and demand.
NIFF was born with the intention of triggering, debating the issues that are hidden under appearances and confronting the public with the social realities that show each individual as a part of those that make us complex, unique and human.

PRESENTATION OF FESTIVAL
The International Imago Film Festival was born with the idea of promoting cinema, especially independent cinema, by encouraging research and experimentation with cinematographic language.
The idea of the festival was born from the meeting of IMAGO with the city of Civitella del Tronto, where the award-winning film "The right to happiness" by Claudio Rossi Massimi was made by IMAGO.
After the first two editions in the wonderful setting of Civitella del Tronto, the Festival has moved to the Municipality of Teramo with a broad cultural program, full of new features that go beyond national borders and that strengthens and highlights this fascinating bond.
The International Imago Film Festival will be all this and much more.
