Kapish is a multidisciplinary queer-feminist platform fostering creative practices rooted in intersectional care, erotic resistance, and class consciousness. It is the continuation and merger of two curatorial collectives:

Squish, known for its intimate programming and bold intersectional approach, collaborated with queer artists across disciplines to explore politics of identity, embodiment, and resistance through film nights, workshops, and performances.

Kollection Kitsch focused on democratizing access to the arts, uplifting working-class creators and “bad taste” aesthetics. Through pop-up shows and accessible art exhibitions, it challenged elitist frameworks by celebrating vernacular and camp sensibilities.

Kapish carries forward both legacies—supporting emerging and [...]

BREVE

Bazaar of short and vertical cinema

BREVE invites you to create short films, up to 1 minute long, shot on cell phones in vertical format.

We're interested in social commentary with sarcasm, humor, controversy, unexpected endings, lentils, blackberry juice, and cheesy old-fashioned music.

Invite your family and friends to participate and use your cell phone creatively. Film is a tool, and so is artificial intelligence.

Let's talk about the river, religious double standards, street and mountain sports, garbage, the neighborhood, the pedestrian block, family dramas, rural life, raising children, a life free from violence, machismo, consumerism, xenophobia, and bland soup.

We will accept your one-minute films until February 7, 2026, and the festival will take place at [...]

La GRAN pantalla is an intergenerational cinematographic meeting space that seeks to dismantle stereotypes about older people through cinema. We look for stories that allow us to generate new readings and discourses about older people, beyond the conventional representations that are usually associated with this stage of life.

La GRAN pantalla seeks to delve into topics such as the sexuality of older people, the digital divide, unwanted loneliness, palliative care, intergenerational dialogues, cohousing, LGBTIQ+ older people, dignified death, migrant older people and all the visions that this population group may have about contemporary social problems such as the climate crisis, demographic change, new forms of families and organization, international conflicts, urban [...]

"Cine Mbareté is a project dedicated to creating the first international film festival in the province of Formosa, hosted in Laguna Blanca. We dream of this being the first of many editions, an annual event that solidifies our town as a cultural hub in the NEA (Northeast Argentine) region.

This festival stems from the work of a team of locals, students of the Technical Degree in Image, Sound, and Multimedia Design at the Faculty of Arts, Design, and Sciences of Culture (UNNE Chaco), along with collaborators from Chaco and Corrientes. We are united by the conviction that cinema is a powerful tool for community development. 'Mbareté'—which means 'Strength' in Guaraní—represents the power of this collective project.

Short film festival

We are a small festival that started with the sole objective of supporting and disseminating the many short films that are created year after year all over the world. To support new and not so new authors.

We are a group of film fanatics and our festival is not for profit but to enjoy and have a good time, that's why we have chosen Humour, Comedy and Smile as the genre to take the reins of our adventure.

Me Mondo Fest. seeks to share audiovisual creation in short film format with as many people as possible and to support the short film as a form of creativity in itself and not just as a means to reach feature films.

We seek to bring film screenings and audiovisual art closer to the general public by trying to move away from the usual cinemas and venues for this medium. [...]
