Festival De Cine De Mujeres Y Diversidades_Festmyd (4)

Festival start: 19 November 2024      Festival end: 30 November 2024

The Women and Diversities Film Festival (FESTMYD) will celebrate its fourth edition this year in a self-managed manner with the support of the Film School of the University of Valparaíso and the Ovalle Film Festival. The main objective of the festival is to give visibility and promote national and international cinematographic works directed by female (cis/trans), trans or transmasculine men, non-binary, gender fluid or intersex filmmakers, who address issues from a gender perspective.

On this occasion, FESTMYD will take place in person in the region of Coquimbo and Valparaíso, linking the activities to the territories where they are developed, seeking to generate a reciprocal relationship with the audiences we address, in order to be a contribution to the collective construction of intangible cultural heritage. FESTMYD 4th will take place in the month of November from the 19th to the 22nd in Valparaíso and from the 27th to the 30th in Ovalle.

In the fourth version of FESTMYD, we want to once again give space to the voices and teams of women and gender diversities, maintaining the commitment acquired in our previous versions, giving a showcase to their works in both regions for school audiences and adults.

This year all slots will be non-competitive and the official selection will come from a selection of short films made in educational contexts (formal and informal) made throughout the national territory.

The Festival reserves the right to change the venues and dates mentioned, if it deems necessary for the correct execution of the project.

RECOGNITIONS

In this special, self-suggested edition, there will be no competitive slots for which no special recognition will be given, but there will be an official slot for the national short films that are selected, to which the festival's winners will be provided.

Prizes may eventually be added, based on the alliances and commercial agreements that are closed between the publication of these rules and the realization of the fourth version of FESTMYD.

FESTMYD does not consider payment of fees for competing samples.
