Curta O Gênero ()

Festival start: 20 June 2022      Festival end: 02 July 2022

The AX International Audiovisual Short Film Show aims to disseminate short films (documentaries, fiction, animations and experimental) for all ages, children and adolescents, young people and adults, which present as a central or relevant element such as gender relations and sexualities. Thus, short films that show intertwining between gender and sexualities with other markers such as social class, race and ethnicity, generation, disability, migration, are very welcome.
The Show also includes a multitude of themes that can cross issues such as life trajectories, violence against women, masculinities, fatherhood, motherhood, eroticism, corporeality, LGBTQIAphobias, sexual exploitation, sexual and reproductive rights and processes of resistance and struggle of women and subject LGBTQIA +, as well as a multitude of fields of sociopolitical life such as the State, capital, coloniality, politics, human rights, education, work, health, culture, public policies, among others.
In recent editions, many short films have been produced and selected that portray more general themes, of collective interest, in the field, for example, of indigenous rights, land, housing or the defense of democracy. So this year, realizing that such productions only enrich, densify and pluralize our Curta o Gênero, we formally opened for submissions of short films of this nature, which will be produced in specials.

X INTERNATIONAL AUDIOVISUAL EXHIBITION SHOWS THE GENRE

REGULATION

Fábrica de Imagens – Educational Actions in Citizenship and Gender invites audiovisual directors to register their works in the X Curta o Gênero International Audiovisual Show, which will take place during the X Curta o Gênero, in June 2022, in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.

About Short the Genre

Curta o Gênero is an action conceived and carried out by Fábrica de Imagens – educational actions in citizenship and gender and is characterized as a space for the convergence of people interested in sharing their thoughts, interpretations, experiences, doubts, propositions, performances, perceptions and artistic creations in the fields of feminisms, gender, sexualities, connected, above all, with other social markers, especially social class and race.

It also constitutes a plural space for the production of meanings and the development of dialogues committed to denouncing gender inequalities, violence and violations, with the construction of other representations and symbolic interpretations, based on gender equity and the affirmation of sexualities and with the promotion of theoretical-political articulations between counter-hegemonic fields, oriented towards a horizon of overcoming a social order that is patriarchal, therefore sexist and heteronormative, but which is also capitalist and colonial/racist.

1. THE SHOW
The AX International Audiovisual Short Film Show aims to disseminate short films (documentaries, fiction, animations and experimental) for all ages, children and adolescents, young people and adults, which present as a central or relevant element gender and sexualities. Thus, short films that show intertwining between gender and sexualities with other markers such as social class, race and ethnicity, generation, disability, migration, are very welcome.

The Show also includes a multitude of themes that can cross issues such as life trajectories, violence against women, masculinities, fatherhood, motherhood, eroticism, corporeality, LGBTQIAphobias, sexual exploitation, sexual and reproductive rights and processes of resistance and struggle of women and LGBTQIA+ subjects, as well as a multitude of fields of sociopolitical life such as the State, capital, coloniality, politics, human rights, education, work, health, culture, public policies, among others.
