Madrid, Spain


The FICNOVA International Film Festival on Active Nonviolence is held every two years around October 2nd, the International Day of Nonviolence declared by the United Nations.

It is organized and promoted through volunteer work by the non-profit humanist association FICNOVA, inspired by Universalist Humanism, along with other associations, organizations, and individuals who share the transformative sensibility of active nonviolence.

After its first seven editions held in different cities in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mauritania, Mexico, Peru, the Czech Republic, and Spain, activists from different cities and countries are once again participating together in preparation for the eighth edition of FICNOVA 2026.

FICNOVA is a thematic festival that brings together films from around the world that showcase examples of active nonviolence as ways to overcome violence, discrimination, and human suffering.

In this edition, we will pay special attention to those works that best demonstrate NONVIOLENCE as a universal reference, transcending personal egocentrism, interested only in oneself, and the group of factions, interested only in those "like me." We will highlight those productions that aspire to want the best for every human being, and thus move FROM ME TO WE.

From this general context, we share the following participation guidelines for the 8th Edition of FICNOVA 2026.
