The FINCALI Project is developed by the Nodal Management Foundation (Cali - Colombia) and its purpose is to promote and encourage environmental education through audiovisual media and information and communication technologies. FINCALI is made up of 3 major strategies: a biannual Environmental Film Festival with a national and international competitive framework https://festivalfincali.com/, a regional Tour that, in the intervening year between each Festival, decentralizes and circulates the best selection of films and training activities from the latest edition by various municipalities in the Colombian Pacific region, and as a third strategy, a digital environmental film platform, Screen Green https://pantallaverde.org/, which offers the community Spanish-speaking a wide catalog of environmental films to multiply the impact of the project through online cinema.
6th FINCALI #CosechandoHistorias
The 6th edition of the Cali International Environmental Film Festival - FINCALI will take place from September 3 to 11, 2025 in the city of Cali - Colombia, meeting again in this audiovisual and cultural celebration for the environment and climate action.
This year we identify ourselves with the slogan "Harvesting Stories" that celebrates the diversity of perspectives that enrich our understanding of the world, collecting and sharing the narratives that connect us with the planet and with ourselves. We hope to generate reflections on the interconnection between personal stories and the environment as a permanent setting in our lives, leading us to collective and individual actions for the care of our environment. "Harvesting Stories" is an open call for audiovisual narratives and environmental education.
The First Buenos Aires International Kinky Film Festival has an unmistakable purpose: to give visibility and celebrate a culture that has historically been marginalized and stigmatized.
This festival is not simply a cinematic event but a space for meeting, exploration, and artistic expression for those who live and create within the kink spectrum.
Our mission is to challenge and dismantle the prejudices that often surround kinky and BDSM practices by presenting authentic, diverse stories that capture the multiple dimensions of this culture. Each film selected for the festival will provide a window into the realities and
experiences of people within the community, offering perspectives that are rarely represented in mainstream cinema.
The ETHEREAL CODE International AI Film and Art Festival stands as a global celebration of the transformative synergy between artificial intelligence, filmmaking, and art. This pioneering event is dedicated to exploring the endless possibilities that AI brings to the realms of creative expression, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in storytelling, cinematography, and artmaking.
The festival serves as a vibrant platform for innovation, imagination, and collaboration, bringing together filmmakers, technologists, artists, researchers, and audiences from around the world. By showcasing groundbreaking AI-driven films and artworks, it seeks to illuminate the ways in which artificial intelligence can revolutionize traditional approaches, creating entirely new paradigms in creativity.
At its core, the festival is more than an exhibition—it is a movement that fosters dialogue about the evolving relationship between art and technology. Through screenings, exhibitions, panels, workshops, and interactive experiences, participants are invited to engage with cutting-edge technologies and explore their role in shaping the future of cinema and art.
Our mission is to inspire a global community of visionaries to embrace AI not merely as a tool, but as a partner in the creative process. By empowering artists and creators to experiment, innovate, and redefine their craft, we aim to cultivate a space where the impossible becomes possible and where the future of visual storytelling is written today.
Through this convergence of art, science, and technology, The ETHEREAL CODE International AI Film and Art Festival aspires to build a legacy of creativity that transcends boundaries, sparking a new era of cinematic and artistic excellence.
The Spi Stories Short Film Festival reaches its thirteenth edition. The competition, created by the publisher LiberEtà and the CGIL Pensioners' Union, has chosen the title "Bolle. Connessi. Sconnessi. Disconnessi." ("Bubbles. Connected. Disconnected. Unplugged") for this edition.
This year, the competition focuses on the future that awaits us and how our daily choices can influence tomorrow. Climate change, social inequalities, global connectivity, and individual alienation are the central themes of this edition, which invites filmmakers to imagine future scenarios and tell stories that address the challenges of the present. The chosen title, “Bolle. Connessi. Sconnessi. Disconnessi” (Bubbles. Connected. Disconnected. Unplugged), is an invitation to explore the contradictions of an increasingly interconnected world, yet profoundly divided. The bubbles represent our social and economic isolation, while the concepts of connection and disconnection reflect the reality of a rapidly changing world in which each of us is involved, but also, at times, excluded. In the face of all this, our sociality will inevitably change. We ask filmmakers to immerse themselves in the future they wish to create, with the intent to share their vision of tomorrow’s possibilities and reflect on the contradictions of a world that appears ever more complex. “Connected, Disconnected, Unplugged” are the nuances of our existence in the present, as we prepare to face the challenges of an uncertain future.
Technology, with its pervasive power, unites us, separates us, and sometimes isolates us within bubbles of subjective reality.
