El Festival de Cine latinoamericano de La Plata, FESAALP, con una trayectoria de ocho ediciones se ha transformado en una vidriera para el encuentro, la difusión y la promoción del cine del continente.

Buscamos difundir, exhibir y problematizar el cine de América Latina como lenguaje creativo, artístico e industrial. Además de contribuir al desarrollo de nuevas posibilidades y perspectivas para los cineastas, artistas que se dedican a contar historias y relatos a través del cine.

Afianzar el encuentro entre el público y su cine es el desafío mayor que desde el 2006 nos propusimos, y hoy nos encontramos con un festival con más secciones, películas, invitados, actividades formativas y espectadores.

Creemos que un festival no sólo debe ser un espacio para la exhibición, sino también el lugar que promueva el encuentro e intercambio de experiencias entre los realizadores y ayude a que las obras encuentren nuevos espacios donde poder ser vistas.

Es importante destacar y agradecer que desde el inicio contamos con el apoyo del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales (INCAA), el Instituto Cultural de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, la Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicación Social de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, la Municipalidad de La Plata, y de otras instituciones y empresas privadas que se siguen sumando y depositando su confianza en el Festival.

El FESAALP crece y se afianza gracias al enorme talento de los realizadores latinos y a la siempre conmovedora pasión de los espectadores por el cine del continente.

O primeiro e mais importante Festival de Freak na Espanha. Nós também aceitamos horror e filme fantástico. Com uma audiência de 1.800 pessoas todos os dias de segunda a sexta-feira e gostaríamos de exibir seus curtas-metragens.

O FESTIVAL: MOVIMENTO DA CULTURA

O Festival nasceu com uma missão muito específica: visa estimular a atenção do público para um espaço representativo aberto e amplo, como o ambiente rural, fazendo de suas projeções ao ar livre, abertas a todos, o melhor expoente. Jovens e adultos, gerações separadas por anos e experiências, se reúnem em torno de uma tela, que é o foco da luz de um passado e de um futuro: a cultura é atemporal, a cultura une e a linguagem cinematográfica será o elo comum para temperar emoções e sentimentos, guardar memórias e provocar encontros animados.

Dessa forma, todos os participantes do evento podem desfrutar de um discurso heterogêneo e dinâmico. Por meio desse impulso cultural, as diferentes correntes de criatividade permitem que os espectadores se movam e explorem códigos novos e antigos em um espaço público, criando uma comunidade.

Cellar Door Film Festival (CDFF) is Ottawa’s first showcase of speculative cinema, which celebrates the creativity of the Ottawa film scene and spotlights the city as a setting for the sinister and supernatural.

O “Festival de Cinema Independente do Golfo de Nápoles” é um evento destinado a servir como uma vitrine internacional para filmes de vários tipos e gêneros, a fim de promover e divulgar filmes artísticos, autorais e experimentais que não são lançados nos cinemas, promover o diálogo entre diferentes experiências e criar um ponto de encontro para o apoio à cultura cinematográfica.

O FESTIVAL DE CURTA-METRAGEM DE MONTEMARIO, organizado e patrocinado pela associação cultural sem fins lucrativos “CS-COMSPE” e “Arte & Musica d'Italia”, é um dos principais festivais de cinema da Itália, incentivando a participação de jovens e brilhantes cineastas independentes de qualquer nacionalidade e oferecendo-lhes a oportunidade de exibir seus filmes para um público diversificado de cineastas e amantes do cinema de todo o mundo.

A missão do festival sempre foi aprimorar, promover e disseminar formas cinematográficas, audiovisuais e expressivas de reprodução cinematográfica, através de curtas-metragens e videoclipes como forma de expressão visual e fônica, como arte eficaz, como forma de comunicação social e cultural, desenvolver o potencial da linguagem artística visual, responder às necessidades de crescimento cultural dos jovens em um ambiente futuro fortemente comunicado com as artes visuais, surpreender-se com as habilidades criativas, para dar aos criativos, diretores e cineastas o espaço certo para seus talento na maior visibilidade possível.

O Festival de Finos Filmes é uma mostra de curtas-metragens, que, em 2025, chega à décima segunda edição. O evento nasce como uma vitrine da nova geração de cineastas.

Mais do que um festival de filmes, o evento é principalmente um ciclo de debates, que usa as obras como ponto de partida para discussões sobre política, sociologia, identidade, urbanismo - tudo sublinhado, claro, pelo cinema. Todo o dinheiro arrecadado pelo festival é doado para instituições sociais.

Além dos mais de 300 filmes exibidos ao longo de uma década - entre nacionais e internacionais, o festival recebeu convidados/as para debater os curtas exibidos. Essa lista inclui:
