The Zaragoza Film Festival, with a great track record behind it, decides through its Cultural Association, promoter of the FCZ event itself, to go one step further and create in 2018 a series of International Thematic Conferences, between the that there is a Social Theme, where it is intended through the audiovisual medium, that different social problems that surround us, can approach the public and therefore we become aware of the different realities.
The Other Looks section was born with the commitment to be a screen that makes visible different social realities; promoting values such as solidarity, tolerance and education, among others. Social diversity depends on three universal human realities: each individual is
unique, different and with common experiences. People are interrelated and
interdependent and societies and cultures are dynamic, changing and adapting to the
new situations.
Likewise, we support the different social groups, so that they can show their work
audiovisual and in this way their projects can be known by the general public.
In addition, we believe in cinema as an educational tool to make young people aware of the current social issues reflected in the works presented at the Festival.
FICSEM is a new Social and Ecological Film Festival, which was going to see the light of day for the first time in 2020, in the Mediterranean area.
For major reasons, and having been immersed in a situation in which we have all been affected, we have decided to adapt to the current situation, and give a new focus to our festival. Maintaining the enthusiasm and passion we feel for the artistic world.
Our festival is aimed at the dissemination and promotion of film authors related to topics of social and/or ecological value.
Because we believe in the power of art as a transformative medium, our contribution from this festival is to give visibility to projects that address environmental and social changes in which we are immersed. We are an international festival because we understand the world beyond barriers, and because we are moved by the need to get to know other cultures and share the best of ours, as it contributes to any improvement in any corner of the world.
The Mediterranean is the climate that surrounds us, and we feel identified with it. In terms of warmth, closeness and transparency. We are a festival that is starting strong, with a large number of committed artists who share our cause, and the desire to share.
And that is why we are not afraid to break the most classic festival patterns. So much so, that in the award for best actor and/or actress, the recognition of the award falls on their social and/or ecological work... And not only on their skills.
Despite having firm ideological foundations. We open ourselves to other artistic areas and initiatives.
Enrolled films (short films and feature films) may participate as long as they fit into one of the following film genres: animation, drama, fiction, action, thriller, comedy, horror or children.

We want you to put your imagination in motion.
Bolder and more complex ways of living and exploring cinema are just around the corner. We would like to explore those new possibilities with you. Those who are interested in our event will be able to submit their work in the folllowing open calls.
