Festival Paralelo is a space for reflection that seeks to explore the artistic manifestations that revolve around the theme of Science Fiction and parallel worlds.
Science Fiction invites us to the universe, where an infinity of worlds can coexist, we understand society as a laboratory where it is possible to discover new ways of being and doing. This genre opens the space to see ourselves reflected in ideas that apparently are not part of our reality. We are interested in stories and media that invite us to explore other possibilities to exist and build futures that have a future, as well as stories that take place outside of planet Earth or in parallel universes and alternate realities.
The dream becomes the action. Art, stories, and myths guide our conception of the world and therefore our actions Science fiction and fantasy are the mirrors through which artists from different countries of the world face their concerns, concerns, and points of view on contingencies that the human species has in the face of technological development, explorations of imagined worlds and ways of being, both possible and extraordinary.
The CINE AZUL FESTIVAL OF INTERNATIONAL CINEMA began as a showcase of environmentally themed films with a vision to advance public understanding of the environment through visual arts, challenging the way people think about nature, inspiring them to discuss and jointly explore different alternatives to become part of the solution on environmental issues.
The 10th International (environmental) “CINE AZUL” Film Festival “SURrealidades”, celebrates 20 years of walking in awareness and harmonization with the environment. Exhibiting, Circulating and contributing to the Formation of Audiences through Cinema committed to issues such as Climate Change, Food Sovereignty and Spiritual Crisis among others.
The Film Festival is environmental in nature, for this reason we consider that the implicit theme is already there, now we invite you to reflect in a sense from the different Parcelas (sections) of the Festival and it is from those Chagras where we develop a dialogue. To celebrate these 20 years of journey in our 10th version, we look at the Theme of PALABRAS MAYORES.
From the “CINE AZUL” perspective we observe this an ideal historical moment, to listen again to those ancestral words, those aboriginal languages, those uses and customs that maintained harmony and balance with their environment, with Mother Earth, with PachaMama, those words that spoke of prophecies that are fulfilling today.
After Ten editions in (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020) SURrealidades “CINE AZUL Festival” is now a consolidated biennial contest in Colombia breaking new ground in promoting the circulation, screen and production of the environmentally and human rights-themed International audiovisual.

It is perhaps best known today as the location the disciple John received the visions found in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament and where the book was written.
The 1st Patmos Cinema Festival marks the reinvention of the local film festival under a community driven approach, in these difficult post coronavirus times.
Patmos Cinema Festival (or PCF) will be a platform for strong stories and independent voices to come together.
There will be loose thematic categories:
* Gaia. A movie about our home
‡ Sea and Cinema. Sea as an obstacle, as a border, as a road or a bridge.
§ Topography of Emotions.
* Human Rights.
In general we will accept any film genre as long as it evolves around a strong narrative.
PCF films will be screened in various venues around the island. Main venue is the open air cinema at the Patmion Cultural Centre.
PCF activities (including the workshops) will take place throughout the year on the island.
PCF is the officially supported film festival by the municipality of Patmos.
The festival will have a competition section. The jury will consist of of experienced and renowned artists (the list will be announced shortly).

KFF was launched in 2013, as International Short Film Festival. From the very beginning, the essential part of our mission was to bring the audience closer to different kind of films and to provoke interest in film art, and furthermore in understanding its impacts in everyday life.
Festival is held annually during September in the city of Kraljevo (meaning "the King's Town"), where seven Serbian kings are said to have been crowned. Because of our historical heritage, we decided to name our festival “Kraljevski filmski festival”.
KFF is offering a filmmaker-friendly environment with a casual vibe, which is the reason why during the last 6 years we have had filmmakers flying in from the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Finland, France, Switzerland, Russia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria…
In 2019, Kraljevski filmski festival had significant changes both on programming and management level by evolving to Post-production Film Festival. Our main goal besides showing great Short films will be to promote the art and craft of Post-production as well as the creative people from behind the camera. To achieve this, the KFF will invite postproduction artists from across the globe for masterclasses or workshops, and organize filmmakers meetings at KFF.
