Festival Vic Film (5)

Inizio del Festival: 02 settembre 2022      Festival si chiude: 10 settembre 2022

Festival Vic Film is a movies celebration in the capital of Tamaulipas that was born in 2018 by local filmmakers interested in film development and professionalization in both Victoria City and the rest of our state and region.

After all the changes due to the pandemic, we keep the idea of having an hybrid fifth edition with short films playing online in a limited geolocated way during the festival, as well as the competing features playing live with an audience. Contest is extended to national in the features, short films & script sections but we also have a special section focused in regional short films (Tamaulipas, Nuevo León & Coahuila), and amateur / student shorts from Tamaulipas.

Also INTERNATIONAL section is open in two categories: all kind of short films (must include subtitles in Spanish), and family short films without dialogues (if possible, we'll try to show the family shorts in a public Plaza as we did in the first 2 editions).

In addition we have guests and a movie workshop online. Festival Vic Film Festival seeks to be a meeting point between filmmakers and the general public, where links are created that allow the growth of production in our region. We understand cinema in its broadest sense, which ranges from formal productions to those works made in total independence, with little budget but a clear sense of expressing itself through moving images and sound.

All our screenings and events are free to the public.
