What is the sense of making festivals that celebrate cinema in the context of the systemic crisis that we are going through? It could be thought that not much, especially if we consider that a majority of the films released massively share being works produced in the logic of the current entertainment industry. Films whose narratives enhance a certain prevailing worldview, around which it seems easier to imagine the end of the planet than the end of capitalism. Works where the revolution is embodied by schizophrenic clowns and the neoliberal democracy defended by philophascist superheroes. An entertainment industry that is positioned with a central role in the naturalization of the tragic contradictions that currently characterize the World System.
This is precisely why it is more necessary than ever to hold Festivals and all kinds of film events that help amplify access to those filmmakers and artists, who, radically questioning the state of our world, propose alternative narratives with which to learn it, understand it and perhaps intervene it. Peripheral and expanded cinemas, works that regain empathy for other forms of human interaction, not mediated by the exploitation of the human being and his environment.
It is from this feeling + thought that we want to invite you again, dear friends, to be part of the fourth version of AricaDoc, International Documentary Film Festival. Which, for reasons that we all know, will be done in a hybrid way; considering face-to-face functions in public spaces in the city, in addition to an online digital platform, specially designed to safeguard the viewing experience and the safety of the participating works.
Although the matrix of our festival has been the face-to-face and collective experience of cinema, in this new context we have decided to embrace the potential of virtuality. With which we hope to reach new communities, in addition to integrating in our programming Non-Fiction works that have their primary ecosystem on the Internet, such as, for example: geolocated soundscapes, photogrammetry and 3d tours, interactive and intertextual documentaries, video works in 360º and augmented reality among many other possibilities. Thus adding a new category, which we have called "Online Experiences", which will accompany our regular programming of feature films, short films and documentaries by and for girls, boys and young people.
We are a non-competitive and non-commercial Festival, an integral part of a cultural action program that works to expand the cinematographic experience in urban, rural and indigenous communities in the North of Chile. We know that cinema will not by itself change the societies in which we live, but we are convinced that it can be part of broader transformative processes that seek to activate more just and friendly forms of social and environmental coexistence.
Any person or legal entity can participate, individually or collectively, without age limit, and can be done with any audiovisual production - in 4K, 2K, Full HD, HDV, HD format. The productions presented may have been previously projected, posted on the internet or in other exhibitions and festivals, regardless of the year of production.

The Festival of Cinema made in the Canary Islands (#MadeInSecuencia27) is a festival that was born with the aim of promoting and disseminating audiovisual creation through sportsmanship and teamwork, both among fans and professionals, throughout the Canarian archipelago and arises as an initiative of the Cultural Association La Farola Films and its youth section known as the Infant and Youth School of Cinema "Sequence 27".
FECICA is celebrated between the municipalities of Puntallana, Barlovento and San Andrés y Sauces under a written and visual motto that changes in each edition, being that of the 2020 edition:
"Who could like the river be fugitive and eternal: to leave, to arrive, to always pass and to always be the fresh river ...",
with the image of the Punta Cumplida de Barlovento Lighthouse next to the Los Tilos Bridge of San Andrés y Sauces and the Monument to Salto del Enamorado de Puntallana.
The Festival has two competitive sections of the event: the 'General Section', which has short films shot throughout the Canary Islands and the 'Section 32 hours', in which filming takes place on site (between Puntallana, Windward and San Andrés and Sauces ), within the duration of the show itself, in just one and a half days, making this section the hardest cinematographic creation challenge in the Canary Islands. We also have the 'Media and Feature Films Section', a non-competitive section to promote the latest feature films and medium films made in the Canary Islands.
Thanks to this festival, which pursues the coexistence between participants, audience and young people of the Film School, more than the competition between them, the island of La Palma is already a "movie island", which has five festivals more audiovisuals (Festivalito, Tiempo Sur, TazaCortos and La Palma Anime Film Festival). All of them collaborate with this Film Show and are completed with other audiovisual contests throughout the island territory.

The PARALELO festival is a space for reflection generated from the meeting and synergy of different artistic manifestations that revolve around the theme of science fiction. Imagine different, utopian, parallel worlds. This genre opens the space of seeing us reflected in worlds that are not part of our reality but are inspired by it. It is loaded with idealism and magic, but also very crudely. From stories that pass outside the planet Earth, to a parallel universe in which technology dominates us. For us, Science Fiction leaves many doubts that we try to solve but ends up raising even more questions.
Cinema, literature and the performing arts are the means through which artists from different countries of the world communicate their concerns, concerns, and points of view about the contingencies that the human species has against technological development, explorations of imagined worlds, both possible and extraordinary.
