VinartFest is a multidisciplinary art event around the culture of wine and its symbolism that will celebrate its fourth edition in May 2023. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the first and second editions were celebrated online, even though the festival was created as a presential event to take place in the hamlet of Las Ventas de Alcolea, between Albacete and Cuenca province.
VinartFest wants to be a meeting point for diverse artistic expressions, gathered around the same common thread: the creative and evocative power of wine and its culture.
The Festival is articulated around a dual objective: to showcase the cultural riches that the wine universe possesses, as well as to empower a rural area that has become depopulated and is a testimony to the “emptied Spain”. The festival is an initiative of the non-profit association, Asociación Cultural de Las Ventas de Alcolea.
As part of the event, la Asociación Cultural de las Ventas de Alcolea, has convened the IV Contest of Micro-Rrelato, Photography and Short Films VinartFest 2023, which will join the rest of the activities that will be scheduled within the framework of the Festival.
During a weekend, September 3 and 4, 2022, the village of Reugny hosts a unique film festival.

The festivities are divided into two highlights: an evening with the program of a film-concert and a day of continuous screening of short films, everywhere in the center of the village and in unusual places: cellar, garage, church, business, or homestay. The public will wander from place to place to discover these small films of multiple universes which allow the spectator, to like, not to like, to discuss, to come back to see, to live a small concentrate of emotions and exchanges.
This festival will focus on the themes of ecology and sustainable development in the broad sense. It will be an opportunity to promote the distribution of films, works and audiovisual documents from all countries, of all genres and for all types of audiences. Cinema will bring us what it can do best in terms of ecology: make us think and above all make us dream.

Art in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a very strong feature since our culture and ancient wisdom permeate the imaginaries in a whole sort of ways. So when we talk about Minas Gerais, we are talking tradition, hospitality, the act of sharing, conversing, and cooking together around the
stove, amongst family, friends, and with the table full of food and regional goods.
The value of the "mineiro" kitchen rests at the invitation to remember stories about the good old days, the art of the encounter, and the spirit of confraternization with friends and visiting pals.. If you care for a drive by the Brazilian highways, wherever you go, you'll probably face a sign with
the saying: "comida mineira"" ("mineiro food"). Here we want to accomplish the inspirational meeting between the mineiro people's two biggest passions:
food and story
