FECILI MANIFESTO: CLASS D CINEMA
We must dream wide awake!

From the dreaming spirit that resides deep within every human being, a heartbeat quickens to give life to the ideas we carry inside. It is the beat of a heart geared into a camera, a cell phone, a sound recorder... When the restlessness of creation meets raw desire, a cry of freedom and weightlessness is born. To be free is to always return to what makes you immense.

We confront the deafening sound of "doing things just because we have to" and the cold screens that numb us into serial production machines. Class D Cinema is not the cinema of red carpets nor the cinema of studio budgets. It is a "Drink" with friends, it is a gathering of dreamers, it is the cinema that is taken seriously but digested fresh; Democratic, and Diverse.

As filmmakers of the FECILI University Showcase, we pledge the following Vows of Disobedience:

I. The Vow of the Human Device (The tool does not make the creator)

Technical opulence and industry-grade technology are not required to summon freedom. The student short film is validated by the heartbeat geared into the tool—be it a cinema camera, a smartphone, or a still photo camera. Power lies in the creator's eye, not the machine's price tag. A great story flows as naturally as a cold beer.

II. The Vow of the Naked Idea (Against digital makeup)

We ban the over-reliance on special effects, generative AI, and digital cosmetic grading that erases human imperfection. The work must be the result of a pure, intimate challenge between the creator's imagination, their inner reality, and the real-world elements at hand. The fewer artificial tricks and the more naked ideas, the closer we get to immensity.

III. The Vow of the Inner Gaze (Against the algorithm)

University cinema rejects the logic of mass algorithms and the rush to deliver just to pass an academic grade. Every shot must be an exercise of self-discovery, a rebellion against the urban dynamics that strip away our humanity. We edit to heal, to debate, and to look closely at what daily haste chooses to ignore.

IV. The Vow of Collective Care (Ethics on set)

The filmmaking process must ethically reflect its content. We demand that the set be a space of mutual care for the crew, the stories being filmed, and the territory. We reject any dynamic of exploitation or precariousness in the name of art; cinema that destroys the human being does not represent us.

V. The Vow of Dreamed Time (Contemplation as resistance)

We reclaim the right to contemplation, to the shot that breathes, to organic storytelling, and to silence as a political trench against contemporary rush. Pausing to look at our territory is also an act of resistance.
