The Encuentro Hispanoamericano de Cine y Video Documental Independiente: Contra el Silencio Todas las Voces is a space to travel through various realities and aesthetics of Mexico and Latin America.

Contra el Silencio it has its first edition in the year 2000, when practically the only film festivals that existed in Mexico were Guadalajara (1986) and Guanajuato (1998), and in general, at Latin America the situation was not very different, there were very few spaces that disseminated and gave recognition to the social documentary.

From this same spirit and commitment to promote and support the documentary creation is that we come pleasantly to the twelfth edition to be held from November 4 to 12, 2022. In which we will have projections of the competitive sections, special functions, as well as academic activities and of training that promote criticism and reflection.

Will be awarded a Prize for the Best Documentary of each one of the categories that will consist of a work of a recognized artist and will be awarded the Honorable Mentions that the Official Jury considers pertinent.

1.Mexican documentaries, from Latin America, Spain and other countries may participate, as long as the work refers to Hispanic-American themes coinciding with the categories of the contest.

2. Documentaries that have not been produced in Mexico, Latin America and/or Spain may participate as long as the content of the work refers to Hispanic American themes that coincide with the categories of the contest.

3. The production date of the documentaries must be between June 25, 2022 and April 15, 2024.
