La Asociación Cultural Cinergias, con sede en Madrid, España, organiza la Edición Lanzamiento de Cinergias Festival de Cine Iberoamericano, que tiene como objetivo la promoción, difusión y reconocimiento de cineastas iberoamericanos para dar impulso a los jóvenes talentos con la divulgación de sus obras en formato corto, o de sus óperas primas de largometraje.

En esta primera edición de 2024 el festival busca generar una programación a partir de la reflexión, la multiplicidad de voces y discursos, y la diversidad de miradas.

El festival quiere constituirse en un espacio trascendente para un cine que sea relevantemente contemporáneo y que no tenga miedo de mirar al pasado ni al futuro.

Se trata de un festival no competitivo en su sección oficial de cortometrajes y largometrajes que pone el foco en una cuidada programación representativa de Iberoamérica y, en lugar de un premio único para uno de los participantes en la sección oficial, propone el pago por selección de 200 € a cada una de las películas seleccionadas.

El nombre de Cinergias surge de la combinación de las palabras cine y energía en su sentido de eficacia y virtud para obrar. Y a la vez alude al término sinergia, como la unión de varios elementos para obtener un resultado mayor al de esas partes por sí solas.


HIGHLIGHTED!

Our objective is to make of this festival a reference for the video dance world and community, where artists from different disciplines can meet, share and grow.

Crotone, Italy


!!!!500€ CASH PRIZE!!!!

The Calabria Movie - International Short Film Festival (CMFF) was born from the idea of ​​creating a meeting point for film fans and authors who want to discuss the importance and changes of the seventh art. The desire is to reunite the authors and representatives of Italian cinema in a regional festival to preserve and make known the tipical cinema of the territory, maintaining interest for international cinema.
It is not just a film festival, it is an opportunity to give space to art in general and to create spaces for discussion and comparison.

CMFF has decided to create a special section with films that tell the theme of "Return". There will be a special prize from the Jury for the short film that will tell, describe and explain the theme of "Return" in the best way. The idea was born from the desire to narrate that feeling of migration and continuous search of home that is often protagonist in a difficult territory like the Calabrian and which is linked to classical culture and the western world. For the Greeks, the nòstoi, in fact, are the journeys to return home after a long and tearing experience. But the return can also be the arrival point of a journey within oneself, or the result of unique experiences, an infinite series of vicissitudes capable of marking and transforming the protagonist in the depths of the soul. Starting from the more classic meaning of "Return", it is required to experiment and tell the topic from every possible point of view.

-- ITALIAN --

Il Calabria Movie – International Short Film Festival (CMFF) si pone l’obiettivo di essere un punto di ritrovo per appassionati del cinema ed autori che abbiano voglia di confrontarsi e discutere sull’importanza ed il cambiamento della settimana arte. Il desiderio è di far convergere gli autori ed i rappresentanti del cinema italiano in un festival di identità regionale che sappia preservare e far conoscere il cinema del territorio, pur mantenendo sempre curiosità ed interesse per il panorama internazionale.
Oltre che un festival cinematografico è un’occasione per dare spazio all’arte più in generale e creare spazi di discussione e confronto.

Il Festival si rivolge a tutti i giovani registi italiani e stranieri che hanno realizzato un cortometraggio, dalla libera tematica, della durata massima di 30 minuti
