영화제 시작: 19 11월 2023      영화제 끝: 24 11월 2023

The Central American Film Festival in Vienna, Austria has become an established event and a tradition for the city.

Vienna has long been one of the most important cultural cradles in the world, making it an ideal location to present the increasingly diverse and interesting productions from the Central American region.

This year's film festival will take place again in November, and we hope that our loyal audience will continue to join us to experience the most recent productions that Central American cinematography has to offer.

As in previous years, in addition to the categories of Feature Film, Short Film, Documentary and Animation, the parallel non-competitive sections include the following: “Pioneers of Central American cinema”; “Works in Progress”; “Guest film”; “Bonus films” and “Latin American View”. The latter is a selection of audiovisual works from Latin America that portray actual life in Latin American. These sections are fully described in the rules of participation.

* "Latin American view”: Selection of audio-visual works from Latin America that give a glimpse of life in that region.

The awards will result from direct voting by the public in attendance at the movie presentations. The festival organizers will award the following recognitions in Diploma form:

a) Best Feature Film of the Festival

b) Best Short Film of the Festival

c) Best Documentary of the Festival

d) Best Animated Film of the Festival

In the event of very close scores in the voting, shared prizes and special mentions will be awarded.

Rules for Participating in the XV. Central American Film Festival
Vienna, Austria

The XV. Central American Film Festival will take place from the 19th to the 24th of November 2023 in Vienna, Austria.

Papaya Media Association, organizer of the event, announces the call for submissions for the pre-selection of participants in the official competition and parallel sections for the thirteenth film festival. The submission of works for the selection process is free of charge (unless an intermediary platform requires a minimum fee) and the deadline is the 15th of July, 2023. Details on how the works should be presented are explained below.

Only films that have been made within the last two years prior to submission for the film festival are qualified to participate in the main competition. Films produced before this time will be entered into the parallel sections.

Films will be exhibited in DCP or H264 HD, 35 mm and Beta Digi formats in various indoor and/or open-air venues throughout Vienna, depending on the specific program. There will also be an online version taking place on a specific virtual platform; this can be viewed from anywhere in the world and does not restrict the venue or event itself.

General Information about the XV. Central American Film Festival

For thirteen consecutive film festivals, the Viennese public has been consistently exposed to Central American productions. Local interest in the audio-visual production of Central America has therefore been growing. In previous festivals, a varied film program divided into feature films, documentaries, short films and animation was shown, providing the public access to the most recent productions of the region.

The enthusiasm with which the event has been received has motivated Papaya Media Association to make the festival a yearly event.

The following categories will make up the official competition:

• Fictional feature film

• Fictional short film

• Animation

• Documentary (both short and feature length)

As in previous festivals, the spectators will vote directly for their favourite film from each category, and the winning film will be presented with a certificate of recognition. The winning films may also be included in further presentations taking place in cities throughout Austria and/or Europe, either in-person or online.

Objectives

• Allow the public to become familiar with the most recent audio-visual production of the Central American region, specifically Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize and the South and East of Mexico.

• Promote the production and distribution of quality audio-visual work made in Central America.

• Provide a platform for reflection and debate, give professionals the opportunity to keep in touch with current developments, and support the communication between the artists of the Central American region and Europe.

• Facilitate the understanding of cultural diversity and the establishment of a culture of tolerance by putting diverse social realities in touch with one another.

• Promote the Central American region as an area of cinematic interest.

• Promote Central American cinematic production within European interest groups.

• Encourage producers from all over the world to invest in the region, specifically in cinematic production.

The Festival will provide a platform to:

• Identify and distribute the best of Central American film and video production.

• Summon the public, attract advertising and communication media as well as institutions active in the audio-visual production sector and tourism promotion.

• Summon distinguished directors, producers, distributors, cinematic personalities and specialists, both local and international.

• Promote and encourage initiatives directed towards the development of policies and projects intended to increase, both in quantity and quality, the areas of work available to artists in the Central American region.

• Hold touring exhibitions in various cultural public and online spaces.
