18 シネトロ・エクスペリメンタル・フィルム・フェスティバル
CINETOROは、キュレーターの実践と映画製作者の育成、新進気鋭の才能と国内外の著名なアーティストとの架け橋、実験映画やアニメーションの背後にある制作や思考に関する分析と批評の促進に専念する、学際的なフェスティバルスクールとして構想されている。
私たちは、詩と芸術の対話を中心とした映画を提唱しています。それは、スペクタキュラリティ、技術的正しさ、アジェンダにあるトピックや形式の境界を越えて、限界を引き出すようなものです。 それは芸術的な条件を受け入れ、肉体意識の回復を願う不完全な映画であり、映像と音の構造を反省し、問題化し、疑問を投げかけている。
世界の前で自らを再設計し、変化させ、宣言する、領土的な痕跡を残した映画。 テリトリーを再定義し、農村に対する見方を変え、コミュニティに知識を流用する場を提供する。
アビサル・チャント
聞こえるのは生きてる？
#SeeAndHearDifferently:
部屋の暗闇に遠くの音が響き渡り、海の底から聞こえてくる電話、人を惹きつけて縛る鋭い歌。 リスナーはタイムラグにアクセスして虚空に飛び込みます。 その飛躍には危険が伴い、同時に未知との出会いでもあります。 ジャンプする映画、暗闇の中、影の中、神秘の中、スペクトル、サウンド、そして静寂の中を探求する映画は、このエディションで私たちが興味をそそるものです。
動きとしての音は、静止しているのか動いているのかに関わらず、映像の時間的次元を明らかにすることができます。 音は、単に画像を意味的に支えるだけでなく、その構造軸としての役割を果たすこともあります。 映像と音の多様な関係を探る映画や、音をプラスチック素材として扱う映画を求めています。 音が映画を構成するコンセプチュアルなアプローチであれ、声が言われたことだけではなくその質にも重きを置くのか、プラスチック素材としての声、つまり啓示とリバーブとしての声、あるいは音楽が単にイメージに付随するのではなく映画自体の構造的な部分となるようなものです。 音を通して形になる映画。
私たちは音の奥深くに潜り、目を閉じて泳いだり、没頭したりしながら見たり聞いたりできるようにしたいと考えています。なぜなら、理論的または学芸的観点から見ると、この海ではほとんど調査が行われていないからです。
深淵の聖歌は呼びかけの役割を果たし、この呼びかけこそが、この版で私たちが応えたいことなのです。 私たちは、見ることも聞くことも違うという呼びかけのもと、これらの聖歌に共鳴するアニメーション、ドキュメンタリー、フィクション、ハイブリッド映画、実験作品を探しています。

Curtocircuíto was born on 2004. But since 2013, we performed structural, aesthetic and programming changes to redefine the festival, giving it a new identity that seeks dialogue with the most innovative trends of film language.
The in-competition Official Section is divided into the following subsections:
RADAR: Works of any genre and nationality. A varied selection of titles that set trends at a global level, whether in fiction or animation or the documentary genre. Experienced film- makers share this space with up-and-coming directors: short films that arrive at Curtocircuíto backed by multiple awards received in international festivals, and new works that Curtocircuíto wishes to promote.
EXPLORA: Works of any genre and nationality. A section that focuses on the search for new filmmaking signatures. Pieces that can hardly be catalogued in specific genres, and that dilute the traditional idea of cinema by exploring innovative avenues that are close to video art, documentary or avant-garde cinema.
The participation of a work in one section or another, in its case, will be a decision of the Organisation, regardless of the type of registration of such work.!
The Sky Film Festival is a project for an Audiovisual Festival (cinema, television and advertising) organized by MultiSignes producer with all sides of sky, air and flight as a theme.
During the 24th - 26th of June Castelló d'Empúries-Empuriabrava will be filled with audiovisual screenings and side activities (conferences, fair, air sports exhibitions, children workshops...) with the themes of sky, air and flight as the central concept. In short, the intention is to create an international meeting point, both for specialists and those interested on these subjects.
Alt Empordà, and specially Castelló d'Empúries, are reference sites in the world of sky and aerial leisure and sports. Since the year 2012, Empuriabrava hosts the "Windoor real fly" wind tunnel, one of the biggest free fall simulators in Europe and the first that was installed in Spain. Also the Parachuting Centre SkyDive Empuriava, which has been operating since 1985.
The nature will be one of the festival's highlights, given that birds are the kings of the sky and the air, and hence the importance of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, a protected wetland zone for its rich ecosystem. We must not forget the tramuntana north wind, which creates a unique climate and is one of our country's distinguishing features.
