Dare to experience a very unusual future
Dear friends and friends:
Once again we have the honor of inviting you to be part of our festival for which we look for films of any duration, theme or origin that, embracing the tools of real cinema, represent diverse points of view on the contemporary human experience.
In this version we are once again a face-to-face space, returning our hearts to the collective bodies of the desert. AricaDoc was born as a path to explore alternatives to the competition and commodification that industrial logics impose on the cinematographic arts.
Promoting a sensitive and political meeting based on the active search for new ways to feel our relationship with the world around us.
We are deeply grateful to each and everyone who has joined the communities of audiences of the festival from distant territories, thinking of them and them is that at least part of the program will be available on an online viewing platform, for access from Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
For this year the activities will be concentrated between October 3rd to 12th. Being this call open between June 26th and July 27th, through FESTHOME.
Thanking you in advance for your kind participation.
Kindly say goodbye
Arica Doc Team

To encourage the independent spirit, Red Rock strives to find a home for all films that qualify in competition. This gives the filmmaker a chance to give their work exposure even if they may not make the festival finals. The festival also hosts a mini-film market, special screenings throughout the year plus we make recommendations to other festivals.

Equinoxio Film Festival will hold its 27th edition from September 19th to 27th. It provides a space for gathering and reflection concerning student filmmaking while allowing interaction with the aesthetic perspective of emerging talents, along with artistic, social and personal concerns of young filmmakers.
This edition of Equinoxio revolves around the thematic line “Pulsiones: Incarnating Desire”. We are looking for an emerging cinema that sheds light on the path taken by desires and the transmuted forms it assumes in the perceived world, as a result of its inescapable relationship with the other and the others. It is a film that exposes structures and patterns that, from language and aesthetics, have conditioned human longings and drives, inviting us to question the place of desire both in front of and outside the camera, exploring its origins, the normative and dissident space, the relationship with the body, morality, censorship and the role of art.
