Empowering current and future generations of artists currently underrepresented in front of and behind the camera, Diverse Points of View, a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization, launches this year and will present arts and entertainment created by minorities in three cities: Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta between February and April 2015. We encourage foreign film submissions.

In each city, Diverse Points of View will conduct a four (4) day international film festival complete with workshops, panels, independent and studio films, fine art gallery, live music events, industry parties and plenty of networking mixers.

Fiaticorti nasceu em 2000 a partir da ideia de alguns membros do “Projeto Juvenil” de Istrana.

O nome do evento foi escolhido por dois motivos: primeiro, 'falta de ar' (fiato corto) é o efeito do esforço físico de curta duração (a mesma duração dos curtas-metragens). Além disso, um filme que pode durar até 20 minutos é capaz de transmitir emoções fortes ao espectador, deixando-o “sem fôlego”.

Inicialmente, o fiaticorti foi condensado em uma única noite, ou seja, uma noite de premiação. No entanto, a partir da 4ª edição, o formato foi aprimorado e o festival se desenvolve em quatro etapas, durante as quais os melhores trabalhos são apresentados.

Em 2006, a seção FiativeNeti foi introduzida, para premiar cineastas de curta-metragem da região de Veneto.

2011 representou o ponto de virada da fiaticorti. O diretor artístico de longa data Gianni Billio não apenas passou o bastão para Bartolo Ayroldi Sagarriga (o novo diretor artístico), Andrea Grespan e Simone Perotto, mas a qualidade dos filmes em competição aumentou dramaticamente, junto com o número de participantes estrangeiros, principalmente da França, Grã-Bretanha, Romênia e Espanha. fiaticorti tornou-se cada vez mais um evento internacional.

Mas a identidade do festival, conectada à cultura do clube de cinema italiano dos anos setenta, sempre permaneceu a mesma. Seu objetivo é transmitir cultura e paixão por curtas-metragens. É por isso que a direção artística optou por não acompanhar o festival com eventos de outros tipos.

IBERSHORTS tem como objetivo dar visibilidade internacional à produção de curta-metragens de ficção e animação realizadas em países ibero-americanos (incluindo Portugal e excluindo a Espanha).

IBERSHORTS é organizado pelo Festival de Málaga em colaboração com a Festhome e busca fortalecer os laços culturais e cinematográficos dessas regiões, oferecendo uma janela privilegiada dentro de um dos festivais mais relevantes do cenário cinematográfico espanhol e latino-americano.

Para cumprir esses objetivos, o IBERSHORTS acontecerá dentro do Festival de Málaga, que celebrará sua 29ª edição de 6 a 15 de março de 2026.

The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
