The Ponferrada International Film Festival is an event specialized in the dissemination and promotion of short films from all over the world, regardless of their production format, distribution, exhibition, category, genre, or theme.
Short films, in addition to being a learning resource for new professionals in the film industry and a promotional tool for making the leap to feature films, can also be a highly creative and free form of expression, storytelling, and experimentation, independent of the market.
We are also committed to highlighting films that, regardless of their length, reflect the cultural, social, and linguistic diversity of any region of the world as part of the memory of peoples and the most unknown universal audiovisual heritag
The festival seeks to create a space for dissemination, meeting, and creative dialogue, where filmmakers, artists, and audiovisual professionals can share their works, exchange experiences, and open new opportunities for collaboration and project development.
All selected films will be presented to the public through the screening of an official trailer of up to 30 seconds during the festival’s online program, allowing each work to gain international visibility.
The RENUAC Festival, produced by Podcultura Producciones and Macumba Films, is part of a network of cultural events dedicated to independent cinema.

Each submitted film will be fully viewed by members of the festival’s selection team, ensuring a serious and respectful curatorial process for every filmmaker’s work.
The RENUAC Festival is open to both the general public and industry professionals, including distributors, programmers, and agents from the audiovisual sector.
Organizations, production companies, and independent filmmakers, both national and international, are welcome to submit their short films to the festival.
By submitting a film, participants authorize the RENUAC Festival to screen the material during the official festival program and to use excerpts or images from the work for promotional purposes related to the event.

CINE NO VISTO
International low-budget independent film festival
PRESENTATION
Festival de Cine no Visto has the main objective of giving visibility to those independent and low or no budget productions which, for different reasons, don’t reach the major public and whose only option for a greater recognition is found in festivals.
The organization of the Festival de Cine no Visto is aware of the great effort that producers have to endure in order to carry out a project with very limited means. Technical aspects are for us just another element in the process, so the main reasons to be selected will not depend on the means used. We are much more interested in what is told and the symbolism in each shot.
We are undoubtedly going to consider all and each of the aspects: performance, editing, cinematography, music, screenplay, to sum up, everything necessary in the production of an audiovisual project.

Artificial intelligence is changing how films are made. BAIFF (Bucharest AI Film Festival) is Romania's first festival dedicated to this shift. We bring together AI filmmakers and professionals from the film and advertising industries to screen international work, exchange perspectives, and take stock of where the craft is heading.

The 35mm Film Festival was born in Milan from our desire to share our love of cinema. We wanted to create a platform for talent, and an opportunity for artists and film enthusiasts to meet. The second edition of the festival was held on the 27th and 28th of September 2025, at the ‘Wanted Clan”, and was a great success. We are therefore excited to announce the third edition of the Film Festival, which will be held in MILAN, on October 3rd and 4th, 2026.
The festival takes place over two consecutive days. The first day is dedicated to the SCREENINGS of the projects selected to participate at the festival, while the second is comprised of PANELS with the directors in competition, the screenings of 35’’ Film Contest* selection, and finally THE AWARD CEREMONY.
