The LA MIRADA TABÚ film festival wants to motivate artists and creators to show their view of the “taboo” concept, which is broad and diverse, encompassing from the dreams, the unconscious, the mental worlds and the ghosts that populate them , the mystery, the magic, even the untold reality, the unsaid, "the clothes hanging", in the workplace, emotional, family, vital ... from a vision as polyhedral as human thought is: casual, humorous, dramatic, dreamlike ... always from respect for all ways of thinking and from creativity.

LA MIRADA TABÚ launches an invitation to bring to light the personal and non-transferable world of each creator, which, as we have been able to verify throughout the history of art and cinema, through great names in world cinematography, connects with [...]

The International Film Festival of the Central University (FICUC) and the Central University’s film program are once again present to invite students, alumni, and the public to the ninth edition of FICUC.

This year’s vision will be an invitation to reflect on a cinema that embraces Latin American diversity, rather than pursuing a model tailored to satisfy those colonial perspectives that seek to dictate what cinema in our continent should be.

The ninth edition of FICUC opens its call for submissions to all types of national and Latin American short films created during academic periods at the undergraduate, graduate, master’s level, etc. Likewise, short films produced outside academic periods will be accepted, provided they are certified by the participants’ university (such [...]

Short film festival

The 1st Raíces Film Festival was born within the Galician Brotherhood of Venezuela as a tribute to those who crossed the ocean to establish a new home. Inspired by the strength of Galician migration, this festival is a window into stories of descent, diaspora, and cultural fusion. 'Raíces' seeks to explore on screen that pivotal moment where two worlds meet. Here, cinema is the bridge between where we come from and who we are now.

For a film to be admitted to the official selection of 'Raíces,' its narrative must directly or indirectly address migration, descent, roots, or cultural fusion. The story must contain a relationship, mention, or decisive influence involving at least two distinct nationalities or cultural heritages, whether through a migrant character, a clash of [...]
