Marengo Fest. Vigo International Film Festival is not just a film competition, it is a cultural and social event whose main objective is to promote film culture, giving the opportunity at a national and international level to show their projects, providing prizes worth €30,000 in its different categories
The purpose of the festival refers to awareness of both the external filters on the screen, including censorship (commercial, ideological, aesthetic), and the internal filters of screen perception and projection, including self-censorship. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is an exploration of aestheticization and commodification in art. The next aim of the festival is to expose the complexity, manysidedness, and variety of filmmaking.
NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (NoFilter Kino) is a film festival that is held by the Short Movie Club, the platform for cinematic projects. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is ADAMI Media Prize qualified festival. The International Film Studies Conference is held at the same time as the film festival. In this way, film theory and practice are integrated together at the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO.
Originally the festival was held in Belarus, but because of political repression and publicly stated anti-war stance, screenings and events can be held in different countries. First of all in Poland (Warsaw), Germany (Berlin, Hamburg), Lithuania (Vilnius). For example, the 11th and 10th Nefiltravanae Kino took place in Warsaw, Berlin, Hamburg, Vilnius and Helsinki. The content of past years' film programs can be found on the website https://shortmovie.club/programmes/
The festival will be held in a hybrid format. We will have a part of live screenings and online screenings on a video platform https://film.nofilterkino.org/ . The video is cryptographically secured. In addition, we pay attention and promote films from our previous years that are released to the public on the Internet after their festival curcuit.
Nefiltravanae Kino involves theater, artists to interpret symbols and history. We work with the audience's reaction and participants' as well.
--------------------------------------------------------
The concept of the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (NoFilter Kino):
ALIENATION PROBLEM
We live in a world of malls and cinema multiplexes. We see that indie cinema and non-commodity art go to the periphery of public attention. Primitive attractions replace the cinematography. The escape audience is alienated behind the big screen. So modern mainstream cinema is part of a manipulating tool that leads to the society of alienation. Thus the tendency is that indie cinema becomes more unreadable for the wide audience. We should understand the context of the filmmaker to understand the independent cinema. That is why the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO concept implies the physical presence of filmmakers.
FILM SELECTION PROBLEM
Filmmakers shoot millions of movies. And thousands of short film festivals organize screenings all over the world every year. On average, several thousand films are submitted to a film festival. So various good films can be neglected for whatever reason. Often selecting probability is like winning a lottery. As a result, filmmakers are left with no feedback. It is a paradox that no one can hear you in the age of the Internet! The mainstream culture prefers attractions and casual viewing.
Also, this idea is based on the film selection problem. Perhaps it’s no surprise one person, i.e. programme director at best, or even students of film schools make a preliminary decision to select a movie. Сoncordance of judges or previewers is more seldom thing than the difference of background, tastes. So selection or judging can be one-sided or perfunctory. It is not bad as the programme director has a good taste and aesthetic sensitivity, of course. But we’ve discovered another conception of “unfiltered cinema”. We matched it against “the best of the best” way. This way aids to perceive cinematic idiom without the dictate of art-curators.
CELEBRATION OF INDIE CINEMA
So the NoFilter Kino tries to avoid “the best of the best” way but it does not ignore it completely, sure. The festival selects fiction, animation, documentary, experimental and virtual reality sections. A jury awards the best film in every section. The festival holds the screenings at cinema theatres, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts, and art-spaces.
Our aim is to gather people in art, to have a dialogue to be happy with smart communication. Cinema is art but not sport. The key point of our project is to establish communication between the filmmaker and the audience.

CBFF – Vigo International Film Festival is an international film event organized by the production and distribution company CityBlue Films. It will hold its 8th edition from December 1st to 7th, 2025, in the city of Vigo, Spain.
OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE
It is a cultural and social event and a meeting place for the public, creators, film professionals, and representatives of the film industry.
CBFF – Vigo International Film Festival was created with the main objective of promoting culture through the promotion and dissemination of cinematographic works.
This festival was developed to support directors and producers by providing all filmmakers with a space to disseminate and promote their work to the general public.
It is an audiovisual, cultural, artistic, industrial, and educational platform, allowing the discovery of new talents and emerging films.
In this third edition of the International Diverse Film Festival, we pay tribute to the deep roots and unstoppable strength of the Trans community, using the yellow oak and the purple oak—two iconic trees of Barranquilla—as our emblem. Like our stories, they resist and flourish even in the harshest terrains.
Each story, though considered “basic” by others, is a vital seed for our cinema and our collective memory. Every trans narrative deserves its space, its light, its recognition. This year, our roots intertwine with the hope for a Comprehensive Trans Law and with the urgent call for justice, visibility, and dignity.
The festival is a garden of voices—of necessary stories—where each film is a new sprout that challenges the norm and beautifies our social and cultural landscape.
