FARO 1540 - Association for the Defense and Promotion of Environmental and Cultural Heritage of Faro, after the success of the last editions of FARCUME - International Short Films Festival of Faro, is organizing the 11th edition of this Festival to be held in the city of Faro from 20 to 22 of September, 2024.

In this festival, all national and foreign citizens can participate, individually or in groups, simply by complying with the stipulations in the regulation, filling out a registration form and having sent their works to the organization by June 21, 2024, subject to pre-selection.
The main purpose of this Festival remains the same: publicize and launch new talents as well as promote near the public the excellent works that are done in this area but not always have the desired and deserved promotion.
In other words, FARCUME within an informal environment, good mood and relaxed atmosphere intents to reward and recognize the dedication, commitment, creativity and merit of directors, actors and technical teams that, with modest means, can develop works of great quality.
Given the principles and goals of "FARO 1540", which even has the status of NGO (Non Governmental Environmental Organization) the Festival will continue to have a strong environmental concern and sensitivity alerting participants not to present short movies claiming or encouraging disrespect for the environment, human rights inequality or animal abuse. It will be further developed an Environmental Management Plan specifically "designed" for this event to ensure optimization of the resources needed for the promotion and accomplishment of the event and management of generated wastes.
Only for Latin American Filmmakers.
We understand that cinema is one of the most influential artistic disciplines in society, the expression of cinematographic language transcends and surpasses the barriers of the big screen, leaving an indelible mark on the memory and imagination of each spectator. For this reason, the Chiloé International Film Festival FICH 2024 becomes the first audiovisual event that, within the region, exhibits Chilean and international cinema in different time slots, developing programs that include retrospectives of national filmmakers with extensive experience, and activities associated with the mediation of content and cinematographic language to massify the participation of the people who inhabit our Island.
In this 7th version, seven will be the different strips in charge of giving life to the exhibition of films. Five competitive categories: International Feature Film, National Feature Film, International Short Film, National Short Film and Regional Short Film; a Retrospective Focus; and a Children's Strip.

TV Series + Podcast Interviews
Filmmakers who receive Grand Jury Prizes, as well as several Official Selections, receive interviews on the "Discover Indie Film" podcast with head programmer Jeff Howard. This allows filmmakers to talk about their work and their history more extensively than a festival Q&A allows. In 2019 the TV series "Discover Indie Film" premiered on Amazon Prime Video. This series is an anthology of short films selected from the filmmakers he has interviewed on the podcast.
The Sherman Oaks Film Festival is proud to announce the Hollywood professionals who comprise our Board:

San Bernardo is today a community that, besides being surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, has enormous potential in agricultural, tourist, cultural and community issues.
We look for productions that approach through fiction, documentary or animation, themes that include popular knowledge, traditions, practices, customs, manifestations and rural problems of Colombia.

PRESENTATION
The TUWUN concept represents the Mapuche territorial origin, which together with KVPALME, the family origin, represent the Mapuche identity rooted in the LOF, a territorial space that in turn is the basis of the ancestral territorial structure of a broader space, the WALLMAPU, the entire Mapuche territory.
This concept of Mapudungun, the Mapuche language, gives rise to TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, created with the aim of making known through cinema, that identity and the realities related from ancestral knowledge and the way in which it is understood. life from the vision and relationship of each people with their environment, with their territory, with their own history, culture and spirituality and, therefore, from their own perspective.
In this sense, we believe that the TUWUN exhibition represents a valuable opportunity to learn about the way in which life is understood from the indigenous peoples' own culture and an important space to share the perspective and reality expressed from their own representative voices, through of the cinema. In addition to contributing to the decentralization of cinema and culture, generating a process of circulation at the territorial level and taking the traveling exhibition and its complementary activities to a wide and diverse public, in urban and rural areas, with the exhibition of the participating works in various spaces, such as Mapuche communities, schools and cultural centers in towns that generally have difficulty accessing the cinema because they are far from large urban centers, also generating Nvtram (conversation) spaces around its contents.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
TUWUN is an indigenous film exhibition that consists mainly of the realization of a Central Exhibition, which takes place every year for 4 days, in the Municipal Cultural Center of Villarrica, accompanied by activities carried out in various areas of the city. And of an Itinerant Exhibition, which covers various places in Wallmapu, the Mapuche ancestral territory (southern Chile and Argentina) and is held from the month following the central exhibition, until June of the following year, where for the Mapuche people The cycle ends and begins again with the celebration of Wiñoy Tripantu (Mapuche New Year).
COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Within the framework of TUWUN, we develop various complementary activities, both during the central exhibition and during the traveling exhibition. Among them, a TRAWUN (meeting), special screenings by guests of indigenous peoples and the Mapuche people, NVTRAMCINE (cinema forums), TUWUN screenings inserted in other film and culture competitions, screenings for schools and communities, special cycles in the summer season . And a workshop for the appreciation of cinema with identity, which we have designed for training and mediation with different audiences, such as children and young people of school age, adults, leaders of organizations, Mapuche communities, etc.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, is coordinated and produced by ADKIMVN Cine y Comunicación Mapuche, with the sponsorship of LIQUEN Municipal Cultural Center and the Illustrious Municipality of Villarrica, and the collaboration of a network of organizations, cultural centers, municipal departments of culture, Mapuche communities and educational centers.
Aquerò is looking for the “cinema of invisible”, in the form and in the content. Movies that have the courage to confront themselves with foundamental question (meaning, beauty, truth, justice), with depth or levity. To search, to experience, to question ourselves.
The second edition of Aquerò film festival present the international short movie competition, reserved for short movies (max 15 minutes), with a strong theme (the invisible) and an important jury representing excellence in entertainment journalism: Cineforum editor Adriano Piccardi, FilmTv editor Giulio Sangiorgio, MyMovies editor Giancarlo Zappoli, journalist and movie critic Alessandra De Luca (Ciak and Avvenire), and festival and competition artistic director Fabrizio Tassi with ACEC Milano president Gianluca Bernardini.
Aquerò hunts for talent, but mostly it is searching for a cinema that is able to narrate the inner dimension of man. To evoke the trascendental as defined by Paul Schrader; to use the creative power and digital innovation to face questions ancient like the world itself. To reason about spirituality, not in a confessional way, but secular, open, free, curious.
Aquerò is the word used by Bernadette of Lourdes to point “that”: the apparition to wich she couldnt’ yet give a name, the invisible that became image. A word that seems made to evoke presence (the incarnation) of something beyond us. We do not want to identify a style or a way of doing “spiritual cinema”, but bring to public attention movies with an unique look on the world and on the reality. Movies that face “high” and complex themes without simplify it.
Aquerò’s competition is open to works of any format and genere, published or unpublished (but made after January 1st 2018), shot in high definition or in low definition (smartphone or other device), made by professional or aspiring videomakers. You have time to participate up to 10 october 2019.
The rules and the registration form can be found on the site https://www.sdcmilano.it/acec-milano/aquero-iscrizione-concorso-cortometraggi-edizione-2019-8507.html

On the final evening the “Audience Price” will be awarded
