Afrocine (Brasil) ()

Фестиваль начинается: 18 Сентябрь 2024      Фестиваль заканчивается: 20 Сентябрь 2024

The first edition of AfroCine will be held in person from January 18 to 20, 2024, featuring 10 cinematographic works distributed across 7 in-person sessions in the city of Criciúma, SC. The festival aims to democratize access to culture by offering free film screenings and providing up-to-date and high-quality content on audiovisual productions that address racial, sociopolitical, and diversity issues. In this way, we seek to promote broad debate, engaging society on vital and urgent topics through film screenings, combined with discussion circles, lectures, and mini-courses, with the goal of forming opinions and encouraging the general public to delve deeper into the issues addressed in the films.

Non-competitive Festival

AfroCine will screen animated, fiction, and documentary cinematographic works, distributed among short, medium, and feature-length films that address sociopolitical, racial, and diversity issues. The festival aims to be a unifying hub for education and debates that will be organized and adapted according to the selected films.

AfroCine promotes not only anti-racist education but also the importance of democratizing access, raising awareness, and sensitizing our audience to the need for the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWDs). In this way, it will hold sessions aimed at this audience in institutions that meet their needs. Additionally, the festival will not be a competitive event, meaning there will be no film contests or awards. However, screening rights for the selected films will be paid, and producers will be asked to grant exhibition rights.
