One of the main motivations for launching the Festival is to turn its eyes towards a community and a territory that in the past was besieged by armed groups outside the law. San Bernardo is today a community that, besides being surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, has enormous potential in agricultural, tourist, cultural and community issues.
We look for productions that approach through fiction, documentary or animation, themes that include popular knowledge, traditions, practices, customs, manifestations and rural problems of Colombia.
The Festival is dedicated to short films about Human Rights. Or films that collaborate in the struggle for minority rights. The competition is online. Audiences watch and vote for Best Picture. The winner is awarded a "laurel" certificate of "Human Rights Defender Film"

PRESENTATION
The TUWUN concept represents the Mapuche territorial origin, which together with KVPALME, the family origin, represent the Mapuche identity rooted in the LOF, a territorial space that in turn is the basis of the ancestral territorial structure of a broader space, the WALLMAPU, the entire Mapuche territory.
This concept of Mapudungun, the Mapuche language, gives rise to TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, created with the aim of making known through cinema, that identity and the realities related from ancestral knowledge and the way in which it is understood. life from the vision and relationship of each people with their environment, with their territory, with their own history, culture and spirituality and, therefore, from their own perspective.
In this sense, we believe that the TUWUN exhibition represents a valuable opportunity to learn about the way in which life is understood from the indigenous peoples' own culture and an important space to share the perspective and reality expressed from their own representative voices, through of the cinema. In addition to contributing to the decentralization of cinema and culture, generating a process of circulation at the territorial level and taking the traveling exhibition and its complementary activities to a wide and diverse public, in urban and rural areas, with the exhibition of the participating works in various spaces, such as Mapuche communities, schools and cultural centers in towns that generally have difficulty accessing the cinema because they are far from large urban centers, also generating Nvtram (conversation) spaces around its contents.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
TUWUN is an indigenous film exhibition that consists mainly of the realization of a Central Exhibition, which takes place every year for 4 days, in the Municipal Cultural Center of Villarrica, accompanied by activities carried out in various areas of the city. And of an Itinerant Exhibition, which covers various places in Wallmapu, the Mapuche ancestral territory (southern Chile and Argentina) and is held from the month following the central exhibition, until June of the following year, where for the Mapuche people The cycle ends and begins again with the celebration of Wiñoy Tripantu (Mapuche New Year).
COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Within the framework of TUWUN, we develop various complementary activities, both during the central exhibition and during the traveling exhibition. Among them, a TRAWUN (meeting), special screenings by guests of indigenous peoples and the Mapuche people, NVTRAMCINE (cinema forums), TUWUN screenings inserted in other film and culture competitions, screenings for schools and communities, special cycles in the summer season . And a workshop for the appreciation of cinema with identity, which we have designed for training and mediation with different audiences, such as children and young people of school age, adults, leaders of organizations, Mapuche communities, etc.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, is coordinated and produced by ADKIMVN Cine y Comunicación Mapuche, with the sponsorship of LIQUEN Municipal Cultural Center and the Illustrious Municipality of Villarrica, and the collaboration of a network of organizations, cultural centers, municipal departments of culture, Mapuche communities and educational centers.
Aquerò is looking for the “cinema of invisible”, in the form and in the content. Movies that have the courage to confront themselves with foundamental question (meaning, beauty, truth, justice), with depth or levity. To search, to experience, to question ourselves.
The second edition of Aquerò film festival present the international short movie competition, reserved for short movies (max 15 minutes), with a strong theme (the invisible) and an important jury representing excellence in entertainment journalism: Cineforum editor Adriano Piccardi, FilmTv editor Giulio Sangiorgio, MyMovies editor Giancarlo Zappoli, journalist and movie critic Alessandra De Luca (Ciak and Avvenire), and festival and competition artistic director Fabrizio Tassi with ACEC Milano president Gianluca Bernardini.
Aquerò hunts for talent, but mostly it is searching for a cinema that is able to narrate the inner dimension of man. To evoke the trascendental as defined by Paul Schrader; to use the creative power and digital innovation to face questions ancient like the world itself. To reason about spirituality, not in a confessional way, but secular, open, free, curious.
Aquerò is the word used by Bernadette of Lourdes to point “that”: the apparition to wich she couldnt’ yet give a name, the invisible that became image. A word that seems made to evoke presence (the incarnation) of something beyond us. We do not want to identify a style or a way of doing “spiritual cinema”, but bring to public attention movies with an unique look on the world and on the reality. Movies that face “high” and complex themes without simplify it.
Aquerò’s competition is open to works of any format and genere, published or unpublished (but made after January 1st 2018), shot in high definition or in low definition (smartphone or other device), made by professional or aspiring videomakers. You have time to participate up to 10 october 2019.
