The London Vaporetto Shorts Film Festival is a festival dedicated to short-films from emerging filmmakers.

The aim of the festival is to create an environment in which all filmmakers will have the chance to network, build connections and perhaps find their next filmmaking partnerships.
Lucca Film Festival is an annual event that celebrates and promotes cinematographic culture. Through screenings, exhibitions, conferences and performances, the Festival has been able to captivate an ever-increasing audience with a program that ranges from experimental to mainstream films. Through the years, Lucca Film Festival has carved out a niche for itself, standing apart from the many other festivals thanks to its bold yet carefully studied programming. Over the years, great names of international filmmakers and well-known celebrities have attended Lucca Film Festival as invited guests; David Lynch, Oliver Stone, Jeremy Irons, Willem Dafoe, George Romero, Terry Gilliam, William Friedkin, Alfonso Cuarón, John Boorman, Rutger Hauer, Joe Dante and Peter Greenaway, just to name a few. At the same time, the Festival has offered retrospectives of “old” glories while unearthing new talents. To top it all off, breathtaking Lucca serve as a stunning backdrop to an event that has now firmly established itself, becoming a highly anticipated and not-to-be-missed appointment in Italy and in Europe: the Lucca Film Festival.
Since its creation, the festival has always been committed to promoting contemporary films.
Therefore, directors from all over the world can submit their films to the competitive section of the festival through the dedicated call for entries. The 2022 edition of Lucca Film Festival will be held from 23 Semptember to 1 October, both in cinemas and online.

Every year, the selection committee of this competition receives more than 300 films to evaluate. Among the directors who took part in earlier editions, there are celebrities like Adan Jodorowsky, son of the famous Chilean filmmaker.

En cada territorio o país sede se aprovecha este evento de resonancia internacional para fortalecer las capacidades locales indígenas y afro descendientes en comunicación, de dialogo y establecimiento de alianzas y uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación y redes sociales.
¿Por qué ANACONDA en el chaco argentino?
La situación de los pueblos indígenas en Argentina revela un preocupante retroceso, marcado por la falta de desarrollo de políticas y leyes dirigidas a la protección efectiva de sus derechos, así como por la adopción de medidas que han violado gravemente esos derechos, particularmente el derecho a la tierra y el territorio, el derecho a la consulta, a la participación y a la organización, el acceso a la justicia y el derecho a la identidad cultural y a la educación.
