Bendita Tú FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE CINE

Buenos Aires, Argentina


Bendita Tú is an International Film Festival based in Argentina and Spain dedicated to showcasing short films made by women, trans, and non-binary individuals.

The festival is a space for the dissemination of experimental, essayistic, and non-fiction audiovisual works with a formally and conceptually committed proposal, addressing gender perspectives and diversity of identities. We select films that allow for the exploration of non-hegemonic, situated, and embodied approaches, creating bonds between people from different countries through intersectional feminism.

The objective is to showcase emerging audiovisual pieces and debut works that, due to their limited opportunities for exhibition and distribution, remain invisible. At the same time, we promote dialogues between these works and those of established female directors, focusing on intergenerational relationships and the importance of genealogies in the world of cinema.

In this VII Edition, water is a form of resistance and revolution, manifested through audiovisual creation. Throughout history, various authors have used this powerful transparent medium as a symbol of strength. For example, Gloria Anzaldúa describes the river as an element that challenges oppressive structures and represents the fluidity of identities and cultures. Bell Hooks considered water as a metaphor for transformation and resilience, in relation to the experience of being a black woman in the United States. Judith Butler interprets this liquid as an icon of fluidity and resistance to binary gender norms.

Therefore, alongside these authors, we reclaim this vital element as an ally, a refuge where we can feel safe and from which we can express our ideas and imagine other possible futures. This year, the tide rises and propels us towards a political record that demands change. For this reason, we seek works that surpass the limits of the audiovisual medium, vibrant creations that convey the need for a challenging, fluid, and collective existence.

San francisco , United States


Our 17th Another Hole in the Head Film Festival will run November 29th through December 13th 2020, at New People Cinema in San Francisco.

With this festival, we seek broader horizons than our original genre designation allowed. All styles of independent film are welcome to compete. Whether it's a major production from a professional company, a student film, or a micro-budget labor of love, we are committed to giving each film due consideration.

We are located in a very receptive town for film, and we've built a passionate following over the years. 2020 will mark our 17th year among the most highly rated festivals in the world, and we're still growing!

San Francisco is the second largest film market in the country and a great promotional platform for indie filmmakers who are trying to get their film out into the world. Many films that screen at our festival spark the attention of other film festivals and film brokers/buyers. In addition, the films and the festival are reviewed by some of the top players in the industry, such as Variety, The San Francisco Chronicle, Dread Central, Bloody Disgusting, Twitch, and Way Too Indie, just to name a few.

Our "theatrical home" is New People Cinema in San Francisco's Japantown. A 143-seat underground venue located in the New People Building, the Cinema is equipped with cutting-edge HD digital projection, 35mm film projection and a THX®-certified sound system. New People Cinema hosts many local film festivals including the San Francisco International Film Festival, CAAMFest, Green Film Festival, and the Japan Film Festival of San Francisco.

AMAL International Euroarab Film Festival

Santiago de Compostela, Spain


Amal is a cultural film event of reference, held annually since 2003. Its first edition was conceived as an audiovisual showcase and, after its success, in 2005 it took a step further to become an international competitive festival; the first and only Euro-Arab Film Festival in Europe at that time. After twelve editions, it has once again become a competitive festival, leaving behind the character of an exhibition, aspiring to favour the synergies created between producers, filmmakers and the public. Thus, this 23rd edition will be made up of three competitive sections: 5 fiction films, 5 documentaries and 5 short films, with the aim of recognising the cinematographic talent of the participants in each of the competitive sections.

Any film, feature film or short film - documentary or fiction - of Arab production or co-production may be submitted. Films produced anywhere in the world that deal with themes related to the Arab world (made between 2022-2025) may also be submitted.

The Amal Euro-Arab Film Festival is an appointment with the social vindication, tolerance and concord of peoples. It has become a benchmark and has attracted spectators of all ages, generating a critical and current debate on the Arab world and its contribution to universal culture. In these two decades, Amal has grown in social commitment and has become a loudspeaker for people who need to be heard and for stories that need to be told. They all deserve to be in our memory. They all have a place in the common ground of our civilisation: tolerance. Amal is once again the great cultural bridge between East and West through documentaries and committed films.

Recife, Brazil


GUIAR is the first festival created in Pernambuco with audiovisual online shows. The event will take place during five days and will feature international videodance films in competitive and non-competitive shows , as well as workshops, and live and online performance presentations.

The event was created from the annoyance of André Aguiar with the lack of public access to dance performances. "The challenge of inspiring people through the dance is greater because it is an ephemeral and face-to-face language. But through the audiovisual, this cultural expression can be appreciated at any time by people in different parts of the world, thanks to digital technologies and the internet", comments Aguiar.

The use of the Internet is also a key point for the event decentralization and to guarantee popular participation. On one of the days of the Festival, the audience will choose the film that will be screened, through voting by social networks. To make the event even more accessible, there will also be audiodescription, translators and subtitles in Portuguese and English.
