CARACASDOC is an international film festival dedicated to the documentary genre in Caracas, Venezuela. It’s 8th edition will take place from november 24 to the 30th, 2021.
This festival is based on an idea that transcends the limits of the documentary, an expanding genre, that from it’s own truth reflects a world filled with different points of view and voices. A genre that always aims forward, to reinvent itself and express human relationships without stereotypes, without following an agenda.
We bet on a clever creation, thoughtful and reflexive, that gives us stylish, thematic and formal visions to think about cinema from different places inside the documentary aspect genre with intentions from their authors, without format limitations, materials or experimentation resources.
The 8th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival, opens its convocation from august 24 to october 6th, 2021, to filmmakers from around the world to submit their feature films and short films, that make up the sections of this 8th edition.

The One Shot Terrassa City of Film is a film festival that takes back the old Sequence Shot Contest organised in Terrassa between 2004 and 2012. It came last year again, and we're following the success. So this is the 11th Edition of the festival.
The particularity of this festival is that ONLY ACCEPTS ONE SHOT FILMS. What does it mean? As is well known, is about telling a story - at least 3 minutes long - in just a single shot, that is: no cutting or image editing.
In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.
The festival will take place during the week from October 20th to 23rd 2024, also being part of the "3rd Cinema Week of Terrassa" where the whole city gets involved in film activities. The festival will be held at Cinema Catalunya, the main cinema in Terrassa and part of the "European Cinemas", and other venues of the city, where public screenings, Q&A and roundtables will complete the festival until its Closing Session and Award ceremony night.
To have some historical background, it all started in 1967 when Societat Cultural Joventut Terrassenca - known in Terrassa as "Coro vell" - organized the "Rotllo" film competition with this same idea. Now, Societat Coro Vell, with the support of the Terrassa Audio-visual Board and within the activities of the Terrassa City of Film UNESCO, as well as with the participation of those companies and people who collaborate on this event, wants to recover this current year the tenth edition of the "Concurs del Pla Seqüència", from now called "One Shot - Terrassa City of Film".
