4th INTERNATIONAL CHANGING PERSPECTIVES SHORT FILM FESTIVAL REGULATIONS
ABOUT FESTIVAL
Initiated by Katadrom Arts and Culture and Social Politics Association based in Istanbul- ‘The 4th International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival’ will be held between the dates of 6th - 8th of May 2016 in Istanbul, to then continue its yearly tour across other cities: Berlin, Yogyakarta, and other cities around the world.
The Festival will screen about 100 short features, short documentaries, short animations etc. of young filmmakers, students and teams who express different perspectives, concepts and imaginations about border.
Festival Date: 6 - 8 May 2015, Istanbul

The topic of 2016 - “Border”
This year, the main topic of the festival will be “Border”. There will be a festival section about 15 films, a photography exhibition and a panel discussion focusing on the main topic.
There are so many different borders: physical borders, geographical borders, social borders, mental borders, political borders, sexual borders, religious borders, imaginary borders – to name just a few.
To be born or to live on one side or the other of a border is often random.
However, it’s not so easy to let go of the constrictions borders create, as our identities are often shaped upon a deep conviction of belonging to one, unique place, country, religion or gender. During the festival we want to explore the different aspects of border providing a platform for all the diverse perspectives on the topic. Besides 2016 thematic-focused program, the festival will also screen films under its traditional sections: Exchange Experience, Cultural Insights, Ridicule, Umbrella.

True to David Reuben's classic book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask " we love movies that give us new insights on topics like sexual liberation, erotic fantasies, BDSM, sexual shame, cultural sexual diffrences, the "new" prudery, pornography, the impact of the internet porn on our sexuality and sex activism. The discourse with the filmmakers and actors is very important to us. Therefore we try to invite as many protagonists and directors as possible to our festival and thus offer the audience the opportunity for a dialogue.

FARO 1540 - La Asociación para la Defensa y la Promoción del Patrimonio Ambiental y Cultural de Faro, tras el éxito de las últimas ediciones de FARCUME - Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Faro, organiza la 11ª edición de este Festival que se celebrará en la ciudad de Faro del 26 al 28 de septiembre de 2025.
Esta 15ª edición de FARCUME pretende exhibir y promover obras de la sección de cortometrajes de hasta 18 minutos de duración, divididas en tres categorías: Animación, Documental y Ficción.
En este festival, todos los ciudadanos nacionales y extranjeros pueden participar, individualmente o en grupos, simplemente cumpliendo con lo estipulado en el reglamento, llenando un formulario de inscripción y enviando sus obras a la organización antes del 11 de julio de 2025, sujeto a preselección.
El objetivo principal de este Festival sigue siendo el mismo: dar a conocer y dar a conocer nuevos talentos, así como promover de cerca del público los excelentes trabajos que se realizan en este ámbito, pero que no siempre cuentan con la promoción deseada y merecida.
En otras palabras, FARCUME, en un ambiente informal, de buen humor y distendido, pretende premiar y reconocer la dedicación, el compromiso, la creatividad y el mérito de los directores, actores y equipos técnicos que, con medios modestos, pueden desarrollar obras de gran calidad.
Dados los principios y objetivos de «FARO 1540», que incluso tiene el estatus de ONG (Organización Ambiental No Gubernamental), el Festival seguirá teniendo una gran preocupación y sensibilidad ambiental, alertando a los participantes para que no presenten cortometrajes que denuncien o fomenten la falta de respeto por el medio ambiente, la desigualdad de los derechos humanos o el abuso de los animales. Se desarrollará aún más un Plan de Gestión Ambiental específicamente «diseñado» para este evento a fin de garantizar la optimización de los recursos necesarios para la promoción y realización del evento y la gestión de los residuos generados.
