In the short term we intend to bring an “elite” audience to Vila de Paranapiacaba, and in the medium and long term to bring cinematographic productions to the region.

FICTUKURU in Tacuro, Michoacán, goes beyond merely being a film event; it chooses to transcend its nature and become a vehicle for cultural preservation, intercultural understanding, and constructive dialogue. By showcasing cinema from P’URHEPECHA communities and connecting it with the national and international film landscape, the festival embodies the idea that cinema can be a bridge that unites people regardless of their origins. It not only celebrates the art of filmmaking but also fosters understanding, empathy, and promotes constructive dialogue among people from all walks of life. Its cultural and social impact highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse voices that make up our global society.
FICTUKURU stands as a powerful bridge that unites hearts and minds, demonstrating that stories have the power to transcend barriers and connect people worldwide. It enriches the cultural and narrative diversity of cinema, as unique and authentic stories that might otherwise go untold are discovered and shared within diverse communities. Furthermore, making cinema accessible to people who might not typically have the opportunity to engage with the industry democratizes access for both audiences and creators.

FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de acontecimientos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.
