1 - The Barracas Film Festival.
FCB 2025 aims to educate, inspire and motivate audiences. Through a selection of feature films and short films on the theme YOUTH AND WORK, creating a space for reflection and debate on the problems of our time.
A committee will select the films that will be part of the competitive and non-competitive sections of the festival and a renowned jury will award the most outstanding ones. Registration to the festival is free and open to Argentine Films.
Films that do not refer to the theme YOUTH AND WORK will be excluded from the festival, without appeal.

Films can be registered in the following ways:
a) Through the FESTHOME online platform.
b) Using the registration form on the festival website -DRIVE
Films completed after January 1, 2021 may participate. Documentary, fiction or animation, experimental, and vertical format films will be accepted.
The decision of the selection committee will be final. The selection of the films will be announced during the month of August.
The call will remain open from March 1 to May 21, 2025 and the communication of the selected films will be on July 1, 2025.
