True to David Reuben's classic book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask " we love movies that give us new insights on topics like sexual liberation, erotic fantasies, BDSM, sexual shame, cultural sexual diffrences, the "new" prudery, pornography, the impact of the internet porn on our sexuality and sex activism. The discourse with the filmmakers and actors is very important to us. Therefore we try to invite as many protagonists and directors as possible to our festival and thus offer the audience the opportunity for a dialogue.

FARO 1540 - La Asociación para la Defensa y la Promoción del Patrimonio Ambiental y Cultural de Faro, tras el éxito de las últimas ediciones de FARCUME - Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Faro, organiza la 11ª edición de este Festival que se celebrará en la ciudad de Faro del 26 al 28 de septiembre de 2025.
Esta 15ª edición de FARCUME pretende exhibir y promover obras de la sección de cortometrajes de hasta 18 minutos de duración, divididas en tres categorías: Animación, Documental y Ficción.
En este festival, todos los ciudadanos nacionales y extranjeros pueden participar, individualmente o en grupos, simplemente cumpliendo con lo estipulado en el reglamento, llenando un formulario de inscripción y enviando sus obras a la organización antes del 11 de julio de 2025, sujeto a preselección.
El objetivo principal de este Festival sigue siendo el mismo: dar a conocer y dar a conocer nuevos talentos, así como promover de cerca del público los excelentes trabajos que se realizan en este ámbito, pero que no siempre cuentan con la promoción deseada y merecida.
En otras palabras, FARCUME, en un ambiente informal, de buen humor y distendido, pretende premiar y reconocer la dedicación, el compromiso, la creatividad y el mérito de los directores, actores y equipos técnicos que, con medios modestos, pueden desarrollar obras de gran calidad.
Dados los principios y objetivos de «FARO 1540», que incluso tiene el estatus de ONG (Organización Ambiental No Gubernamental), el Festival seguirá teniendo una gran preocupación y sensibilidad ambiental, alertando a los participantes para que no presenten cortometrajes que denuncien o fomenten la falta de respeto por el medio ambiente, la desigualdad de los derechos humanos o el abuso de los animales. Se desarrollará aún más un Plan de Gestión Ambiental específicamente «diseñado» para este evento a fin de garantizar la optimización de los recursos necesarios para la promoción y realización del evento y la gestión de los residuos generados.

We hope everyone has fun and enjoys themselves at the festival but a few suggestions...
Please submit as soon as possible. The process goes a lot smoother if we are not sent a lot of films at the last minute. THANKS!
This is a short film festival for films 20 minutes or less in length.
This year, we are strongly encouraging entrants to submit a link to private YouTube or Vimeo screener not a hard-copy of the film. If you must submit a hardcopy please use a paper DVD sleeve. When packaging, protect the DVD in a padded envelope, or similar package. Please DO NOT send your dvd in a slim, jewel, or standard DVD case, they almost always break in shipping.
Please note that the ONLY difference in the early submission deadline versus the final submission deadline is the fee discount. The submission process and consideration by the Programming Committee is not affected by the date you submit your film as long as it is postmarked by our final deadline - your chances are equal regardless of the day your film makes it into our offices, as long as it is postmarked by the final deadline!
ALL films submitted to the festival are seen and scored by two or more different programmers. All films that have a higher average, or are a favorite of a programmer, go on to final deliberations. GeNerk selects its films by majority vote and nothing is offered early acceptance.
Film Submissions are non-returnable for any reason.
If a film is accepted, entrants will be solely responsible for delivering their exhibition video materials to and from the festival venue. Complete press kits will be needed as soon after notification as possible. GeNerk cannot be held liable for your exhibition print/video materials which are lost or damaged.
Please note festival dates are subject to change.
Unfortunately, GeNerk does not provide room, board or travel for filmmakers.
El Festival de Cine AVANCA obtuvo el primer lugar en el concurso de 2011 de los festivales de cine de apoyo patrocinados por el ICA/Ministerio de Cultura.
A lo largo de todos estos años, se ha desarrollado una programación temática adicional, que ha dado espacio a la proyección de obras importantes del cine contemporáneo, debidamente encuadradas en preocupaciones y/o objetivos bien definidos.
El AVANCA es conocido como un espacio para talleres impartidos por personalidades del cine mundial y, al ser más que una «clase magistral», ha permitido una práctica cinematográfica única. Todos los años organizamos talleres en los que participan participantes de toda Europa. Los medios de comunicación han escrito que esta es la mayor área europea de talleres profesionales en el campo del cine.
AVANCA es el único festival que reúne una competición internacional de cine, obras del ámbito de la televisión, el vídeo y nuevos soportes multimedia, con una preocupación especial por exhibir las mejores producciones mundiales realizadas en cada categoría.
Desde la primera edición, el festival solo acepta películas inéditas en Portugal.
La competición de estreno mundial es única en nuestro país y solo fue posible porque Avanca se convirtió en un punto de paso de autores inéditos y películas de gran calidad. Las películas que se estrenan mundialmente en el festival, independientemente de la categoría presentada, también participan en la Competición de Estrenos Mundiales.
AVANCA es el festival portugués con el mayor porcentaje de películas inéditas de todo el mundo que se proyectan aquí por primera vez.
Desde 2010, organizamos la conferencia internacional de cine AVANCA | CINEMA, convirtiéndose en la conferencia más importante en el campo del cine en la Península Ibérica. Esta conferencia reúne a ponentes y participantes de todo el mundo.
Las exposiciones temáticas, las ediciones de libros, las presentaciones bibliográficas y varios proyectos han marcado estos últimos 10 años de AVANCA con la calidad que el festival y los participantes, obviamente, exigen.
