FIC Multifest is an international film festival organized by Grupo Cortos Verdes Internacional, based in Guadalajara, one of the most important film production hubs in Latin America.

The festival was born with the mission of promoting and showcasing short films, feature films, documentaries, and new forms of storytelling, including those created with the support of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.

FIC Multifest is a meeting point for innovative creators—a space that celebrates both the art and the technological evolution of contemporary cinema.

More than just a festival, Multifest has become a platform for visibility, education, and distribution of local, national, and international audiovisual works, expanding its impact through digital media, social networks, and alternative exhibition channels.

The festival positions itself as a meeting point for emerging creators, established filmmakers, allied festivals, and an audience eager for innovative content. A space where cinema is shared, evolves, and projects itself into the future.

Awards:

1. Participants will receive an Official Selection laurel.

2. Winners will receive a printed certificate on closing day. Those who cannot attend will receive a digital certificate, along with a Winner’s Laurel.

3. Through Grupo Cortos Verdes Internacional, selected and awarded works will have the opportunity for international distribution (pending an agreement with the copyright holders), for streaming platforms and AVOD channels owned or partnered with the festival.

1) All national and international works completed between the years 2022–2025 are eligible for submission.

2) Duration:

Short film: 1 to 29 minutes
Documentary short film: 1 to 29 minutes

3) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Works that use artificial intelligence—whether through tools that generate images or videos—may apply in any of the categories such as fiction, animation, or documentary, provided the use of AI is justified to demonstrate facts or add value to the story. This must be indicated in the film’s technical information, as there is an award for Best Application of Digital Narrative with AI, and it is important to take this into account.

4) A copy of the work must be submitted in one of the following formats: AVI, MOV, or MP4.

5) All works must include Spanish subtitles, except those originally produced in Spanish.

6) Representatives of the selected works must submit the following materials to the Festival, in addition to the screening copy (without embedded subtitles):
• English subtitles in .srt format
• Synopsis
• Technical data sheet
• Film poster
• 5 still frames from the film
• Director's photo
• Teaser or trailer (optional)

7) The Festival may use excerpts of selected works no longer than 2 minutes (in case no trailer is available) for promotional purposes on various social media platforms and AVOD channels owned by Grupo Cortos Verdes Internacional, as well as on channels partnered through collaboration agreements, to promote the work during the festival dates.
(The festival may also use excerpts from different works in current and future promotional spots.)

8) Multiple submissions are allowed, provided each work meets the established requirements.

9) Submitting any audiovisual work to the International Film and New Narratives with AI MULTIFEST implies acceptance of these terms, which are subject to interpretation and application by the Festival Management.

10) The festival jury operates independently from the organizing committee, and its scoring criteria are solely its responsibility. The jury’s decisions are final and cannot be appealed. Winners will be notified by email.
