The objective of this QF Festival is to provide a space for the exhibition of quality cinema while supporting productions whose central themes are sexual diversity and the defense of the human rights of the LGBT + community. At the same time this event creates a meeting place for all those involved in the production of this type of cinema, as well as for people who wish to do the same in the future or are interested in the aforementioned subjects. This festival opens the doors so that both people involved in the creative process and those interested in it can share their experiences and join forces by screening films and exchanging ideas and experiences, regardless of their country of origin.

Linares Fantástico es una Muestra Iberoamericana de Cine Fantástico y de Terror, un evento ciudadano sin fines de lucro, realizado desde hace 8 años al norte de México.
Amal is a cultural film event of reference, held annually since 2003. Its first edition was conceived as an audiovisual showcase and, after its success, in 2005 it took a step further to become an international competitive festival; the first and only Euro-Arab Film Festival in Europe at that time. After twelve editions, it has once again become a competitive festival, leaving behind the character of an exhibition, aspiring to favour the synergies created between producers, filmmakers and the public. Thus, this 23rd edition will be made up of three competitive sections: 5 fiction films, 5 documentaries and 5 short films, with the aim of recognising the cinematographic talent of the participants in each of the competitive sections.
Any film, feature film or short film - documentary or fiction - of Arab production or co-production may be submitted. Films produced anywhere in the world that deal with themes related to the Arab world (made between 2022-2025) may also be submitted.
The Amal Euro-Arab Film Festival is an appointment with the social vindication, tolerance and concord of peoples. It has become a benchmark and has attracted spectators of all ages, generating a critical and current debate on the Arab world and its contribution to universal culture. In these two decades, Amal has grown in social commitment and has become a loudspeaker for people who need to be heard and for stories that need to be told. They all deserve to be in our memory. They all have a place in the common ground of our civilisation: tolerance. Amal is once again the great cultural bridge between East and West through documentaries and committed films.
Cine Sinú Audiovisual Festival is an event developed to promote and disseminate the National Audiovisual Production and Local . Emerges as a collective concern of search spaces for the dissemination of works and generate the interaction between artists and the community at large , in order to strengthen the audiovisual culture in the Department of Cordoba, Colombia .
GUIAR is the first festival created in Pernambuco with audiovisual online shows. The event will take place during five days and will feature international videodance films in competitive and non-competitive shows , as well as workshops, and live and online performance presentations.
The event was created from the annoyance of André Aguiar with the lack of public access to dance performances. "The challenge of inspiring people through the dance is greater because it is an ephemeral and face-to-face language. But through the audiovisual, this cultural expression can be appreciated at any time by people in different parts of the world, thanks to digital technologies and the internet", comments Aguiar.
The use of the Internet is also a key point for the event decentralization and to guarantee popular participation. On one of the days of the Festival, the audience will choose the film that will be screened, through voting by social networks. To make the event even more accessible, there will also be audiodescription, translators and subtitles in Portuguese and English.
The Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, through the Secretaría de Difusión Cultural (Secretary of Cultural Promotion), the Dirección de Promoción Artística (Directorate of Artistic Promotion), and the Cineclub invites the members of the university community, graduated students, and general public to participate in the Fourteenth Short Film Contest “A PANTALLA ABIERTA 2020”.
The objective is developing, promoting and encouraging videos as a means of artistic and social expression.
