The Salento International Film Festival Is a celebration of films and filmmakers, promotes international independent films, in recognition of the fact that movies are the most powerful form of cultural communication and link between cultures' and peoples'.

Founded in 2004 by Luigi Campanile, the Salento International Film Festival emerged as a major cultural event and the top film festival in South Italy. Each year it introduces filmmakers worldwide to the Salento area's unique resources, while celebrating the history and future of the film industry with 5 days of world premieres, special events, seminars, feature films, short films, documentaries.

For the past few years SIFF has organized and run a world tour, taking the festival to international destinations like Zurich, London, Hong Kong, New York, Santiago del Cile, Moscow, San Petersburg, Oslo and more, presenting the “Best of the Fest” event. This gives SIFF the opportunity to showcase some of the best movies presented at the Festival to an international public, in prestigious locations such as Italian Cultural Institutes in the world and Cinema theatres, increasing the visibility and appreciation of such works which struggle to find a distribution channel.

International Film and Ecology Festival

Elx, Spain


Biodiversity loss is one of the main threats we face today. Species are disappearing at levels never seen in human history. Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation of resources, the appearance of invasive alien species are the main threats that many species face today.

The human being is the main cause of these threats, but the power to reverse these extinction processes is also in our hands. Conservation policies and measures have saved many species in recent years. Communicating and raising awareness about the main problems facing biodiversity is necessary in order to continue advancing. Many times the environmental problems that are treated from education, awareness and the work that is done in research centers do not reach the general public, for this reason using alternative media such as art or culture can be of great help to reach to more audiences.

Although the efforts to communicate the scientific results obtained in universities and research centers are evident, using the cinema as a communication vehicle is currently a little used bet.

At the "CINECO - International Film and Ecology Festival" we bring together scientists, filmmakers, conservation associations and the general public.

The main objective of the meeting is to highlight the role of cinema in communication and awareness of environmental problems. The specific objectives are:

1. Communicate and disseminate environmental problems to society through audiovisual pieces.

2. Establish a collaboration network between filmmakers and scientists for the development of future projects.

Os Prêmios Quirino nascem da necessidade de reconhecer o talento na indústria da animação ibero-americana, criando laços e redes entre ambos os lados do oceano.

O evento reúne, portanto, a florescente indústria latino-americana, junto com a de Portugal, Andorra e Espanha, construindo uma verdadeira irmanação para o desenvolvimento conjunto do grande mercado que é a Ibero-América.

Além de reconhecer os melhores trabalhos de animação ibero-americana em nove categorias, os Prémios Quirino servem de marco para o Fórum de Coprodução e Negócios. Cem empresas de vinte países participam todos os anos em reuniões B2B.

Os prêmios foram nomeados em honra do criador do primeiro longa-metragem de animação da história. Em 1917, Quirino Cristiani dirigiu “El Apóstol” (O Apóstolo), uma produção argentina na que foram usados 58.000 desenhos em 35 mm, além de várias maquetes.

Desta maneira, os Prêmios Quirino prestam homenagem ao talento e à criatividade ibero-americana.

We want to create a diverse and heterogeneous show, we will not value positively that the theme of the short film is related to gender, because we want to exhibit the feminine creation in its pure gesture, for its cinematic value and not for its theme.

We will value positively that the director can attend the exhibition, since our intention is to create a dialogue with the public about the work of the directors.
