Fundación Todo por el Cine, A.C., organizador del Festival Internacional Cine en el Campo, invita a realizadores de cortometrajes nacionales e internacionales a participar en el concurso que se llevará a cabo en la treceava edición del Festival Internacional Cine en el Campo (FICC) a celebrarse en los meses de octubre y noviembre, presentándose en comunidades rurales de la República Mexicana.
El FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL CINE EN EL CAMPO (FICC) promueve el diálogo entre las comunidades rurales de México y la producción cinematográfica en cortometraje, con la intención de generar nuevos circuitos, proyectando cine al aire libre.
Apoyamos la producción cinematográfica de cortometrajes que exploran las condiciones culturales y naturales en las que habita el ser humano, la diversidad cultural y su vínculo con la naturaleza. Asimismo, buscamos agentes de cambio e iniciativas originales que incentiven un cambio positivo al cuidado del medio ambiente y las tradiciones.
TEMA: “Sembrando conciencia”
Nos interesamos en todo tipo de temáticas medioambientales, así como el rescate y preservación de tradiciones. Buscamos darle difusión a mensajes que usualmente no reciben el alcance necesario y mucho menos en comunidades rurales donde exhibiciones culturales y artísticas están tristemente ausentes.

ONLY FOR COLOMBIAN FILMMAKERS
Fiaticorti nació en 2000 a partir de la idea de algunos miembros del «Proyecto Juvenil» de Istrana.
El nombre del evento se eligió por dos razones: en primer lugar, la «falta de aliento» (fiato corto) es el efecto de un esfuerzo físico de corta duración (la misma duración que en los cortometrajes). Además, una película que puede durar hasta 20 minutos es capaz de transmitir emociones fuertes al espectador, dejándolo «sin aliento».
En un principio, Fiaticorti se condensaba en una sola velada, es decir, en una noche de premios. Sin embargo, a partir de la cuarta edición, el formato se ha ido mejorando y el festival se desarrolla en cuatro escenarios, durante los cuales se presentan las mejores obras.
En 2006 se creó la sección FiativeNeti, para premiar a los realizadores de cortometrajes de la región del Véneto.
El año 2011 supuso un punto de inflexión para Fiaticorti. El veterano director artístico Gianni Billio no solo cedió el testigo a Bartolo Ayroldi Sagarriga (el nuevo director artístico), Andrea Grespan y Simone Perotto, sino que la calidad de las películas en competición aumentó drásticamente, junto con el número de participantes extranjeros, principalmente de Francia, Gran Bretaña, Rumanía y España.
Pero la identidad del festival, vinculada a la cultura de los cineclubs italianos de los años setenta, siempre ha sido la misma. Su objetivo es transmitir la cultura y la pasión por los cortometrajes. Por eso, la dirección artística ha optado por no acompañar el festival con eventos de otro tipo.
Nuestra definición de comedia -
`Una película impulsada por un excelente sentido del humor o que, en última instancia, termina con él.
Damos la bienvenida a cualquier género cómico: negro, bofetón, irreverente, romántico, político, subversivo, absurdo... etc. Y debe tener un sentido del humor excelente.
