Work in Progress - FEMCINE
Cine Pendiente 2025 launches the “Corto y Claro” call for short film projects, aimed at directors, screenwriters, and producers. Four projects will be selected to participate in group feedback sessions and comprehensive training activities. The goal is to strengthen projects through personalized guidance and to prepare production and distribution strategies based on each project’s development stage.
Activities will take place in person and require the active participation of at least the main creator of each project. It is important to note that Cine Pendiente does not cover travel, accommodation, or material preparation expenses, which must be borne by the participants.
This call offers a valuable opportunity to enhance the development and visibility of short films in progress, through professional and collaborative support in a learning environment.

Short and Clear - L'Alternativa
The FicCali Film Producers and Projects Salon emerged 7 years ago, as an initiative aimed at strengthening the film industry of Cali and Valle del Cauca, within the framework of the Cali International Film Festival. The positioning of the Festival invited us to reflect on the importance of generating a space dedicated to the world of film production that would work in at least two ways: as a means to explore emerging film projects in Valle del Cauca and as a tool to prepare and promote participating producers for an international audiovisual market environment.
