The "Fiorenzo Serra" Visual Anthropology Laboratory, managed by the Department of History, Human Sciences and Education of the University of Sassari (from now on, called "Department") and the Società Umanitaria - Cineteca Sarda (from now on, called “Film Archive“), as part of a project aimed at enhancing public awareness of the director, filmmaker and ethnologist Fiorenzo Serra, announce for the year 2021 the Competition for ethnographic film productions titled “Fiorenzo Serra Film Festival”. The definition “film production" (from now on, “film”) means any audiovisual product, be it a fiction or a documentary film, produced using analogue or digital technologies. The competition aims to promote the production of films that can contribute to the awareness of ethnographic cultural realities through the audiovisual medium and pursues the objective of protecting and implementing, in a scientific and systematic manner, national and foreign audiovisual productions concerning the ethnographic, archaeological, historical, cultural-linguistic and environmental heritages. The competition also has the function of better defining, within the framework of the theoretical-methodological debate of the demo-ethno-anthropological disciplines, not only the important role of visual anthropology, but also the objective of supporting the realization of audiovisual documentation concerning the identity and the cultural specificities of Sardinia, as well as the different national and international social realities.
Our main objective is the exhibition and stimulation of a constructive and objective debate on the interpretations that we can make individually about these two phenomena, such as the UFO phenomenon and the paranormal phenomenon.
Technology has played a leading role in revealing and clarifying myths and truths around these topics. That is why in this first edition we invite all those who want to deepen the analysis and also rescue the beauty of artistic expression that expresses what we do not know, but if we perceive.

FICSEM es un nuevo Festival de Cine Social y Ecológico, que iba a ver la luz por primera vez en 2020, en la zona del Mediterráneo.
Por causas mayores, y habiéndonos visto inmersos en una situación en la cual nos hemos visto afectados todos, hemos decidido amoldarnos a la situación actual, y darle un nuevo enfoque a nuestro festival. Manteniendo la ilusión y la pasión que sentimos por el mundo artístico.
Nuestro festival está orientado a la difusión y al fomento de los autores cinematográficos relacionados con temas de valor social y/o ecológicos.
Porque creemos en el poder del arte cómo medio transformador, nuestro aporte desde este festival es dar visibilidad a los proyectos que traten cambios medioambientales y sociales en los que nos vemos inmersos. Somos un festival internacional porque entendemos el mundo más allá de las barreras, y porque nos mueve la necesidad de conocer otras culturas y compartir lo mejor de la nuestra, cómo aporte a cualquier mejora en cualquier rincón del mundo.
El mediterráneo es el clima que nos envuelve, y nos sentimos identificados con él. En cuanto a calidez, cercanía y transparencia. Somos un festival que arranca fuerte, con un gran número de artistas comprometidos que comparten nuestra causa, y las ganas de compartir.
Y por ello no tenemos miedo a romper los patrones de festivales más clásicos. Tanto es así, que en el premio a mejor actor y/o actriz, el reconocimiento del premio recae sobre su labor social y/o ecológica… Y no solo en sus dotes.
A pesar de tener unas bases firmes ideológicas. Nos abrimos a otras áreas artísticas e iniciativas.
