FICICA 20: CINE A LA CALLE INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL
OPEN CALL


Our call is open to all individuals, agencies, art collectives or producers that own the rights of short length audiovisual work, including documentary, argumentative, experimental and/or video-art. Short films must have been produced in film, video or animation format.

FICICA will take place from may 26th to may 30th in Barranquilla, Colombia. Please join us!


This is what you need to know to participate!


Please make sure that your short film fulfill the following requirements:

The length limit of the short film is 25 minutes; no exceptions will be admitted.

There are no restrictions on the topic of the short film.

Short films spoken in a language different than Spanish must include subtitles, either embedded or in SRT submitted in an attached document. Please consider that this is an international festival that gathers together people in parks and squares across the city who compose a very diverse audience while we reach places that commercial film distributing companies don’t reach. It’s very important for the audience to experience and to connect with your short film, so it’s essential that your subtitles are big enough for anyone to read it and that the color chosen is coherent with the background.

The call is open only for short films produced during 2019 and 2020 Before the closing of the call.

You are able to participate with multiple shorts. Just make sure all of them have been released during 2019 - 2020.

Short films must have an excellent quality in image and sound.
