Backed by the prestigious University of Zulia, we are the longest-running short film festival in Venezuela, organised by the Cine Club Universitario de Maracaibo since 1981, in turn the first to be established in the country, in 1962, prior to the creation of the National Film Archive of Venezuela (1966).
The name of the festival was chosen because of the historical importance of the pioneer Manuel Trujillo Durán for the development of the production and diffusion of cinema in Venezuela, who only 13 months after the projections made by the Lumière brothers in Paris in December 1895, made possible the exhibition on 28 January 1897 at the Baralt Theatre in Maracaibo, of two of his films, an event recognised as the first cinematographic projections in the country.
HISTORY:
The origins of the FMTFD date back to the project drawn up by the professors of the University of Zulia: Gabriel Arriechi, Fernando Perdomo and Ricardo Ball, who with the unconditional support of Sergio Antillano, Rosa María Salom and Rafael Araujo organised the first edition, which took place from 28 to 31 January 1981 in various cultural spaces in Maracaibo.
TODAY:
Since its 15th edition in 2020, the festival has opened its doors to works and filmmakers from all over the world.

Dichas actividades se llevarán a cabo a partir de las 19:00 con ingreso libre para todo el público.
Anaconda comprende una propuesta pionera en su género porque promueve la defensa y difusión amplia de derechos, la organización comunitaria, el derecho a la comunicación y la producción audiovisual y cinematográfica propia, además de desarrollar un fomento directo, además de acentuar el protagonismo comunitario y de Jurados Locales en la definición de las obras ganadoras.
En nueve versiones anteriores del Premio Anaconda (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2020) participaron cerca de 1600 realizaciones de y sobre los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes, provenientes de 20 países.

Por diversos motivos, incluyendo la pandemia, la premiación se desarrolló en La Paz, Bolivia en diciembre de 2021.
Lo más distintivo del Premio Anaconda es su carácter de rotación itinerante y su principio participativo comunitario dado que una actividad principal es la Muestra Internacional Comunitaria en la que Jurados Locales elegidos por cada comunidad, visionan las obras junto a la comunidad y reflexionan sobre las realidades reflejadas en estas obras, definen las obras ganadoras principales de este Premio y elaboran su Acta de Jurado. En cada territorio o país sede se aprovecha este evento de resonancia internacional para fortalecer las capacidades locales indígenas y afro descendientes en comunicación, de dialogo y establecimiento de alianzas y uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación y redes sociales.
¿Por qué ANACONDA en el chaco argentino?
La situación de los pueblos indígenas en Argentina revela un preocupante retroceso, marcado por la falta de desarrollo de políticas y leyes dirigidas a la protección efectiva de sus derechos, así como por la adopción de medidas que han violado gravemente esos derechos, particularmente el derecho a la tierra y el territorio, el derecho a la consulta, a la participación y a la organización, el acceso a la justicia y el derecho a la identidad cultural y a la educación.
Premio Anaconda en su 10ma Versión
Se menciona que el Premio Anaconda en su 10ma versión se propone incentivar la reflexión, debate, divulgación y sensibilización sobre los derechos de los pueblos indígenas y comunidades afrodescendientes, haciendo énfasis en la realidad , derechos, aspiraciones y propuestas de los pueblos indígenas del chaco Argentino, dando a conocer ampliamente la realidad de los pueblos Q’om Mocoví y Wichí, y a fin de contribuir al reconocimiento, valoración y respeto de la pluralidad, como elementos positivos y sustanciales para el logro de la convivencia armónica y la plena vigencia del derecho a la comunicación.
El Premio Anaconda en su 10ma versión estará abierto a los diferentes géneros de producción y a todas las temáticas referentes a la realidad, derechos y culturas de los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes y resaltando la Categoría Especial (Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas y Afrodescendientes) que también es definida en su premiación, junto al Gran Premio Anaconda, por la participación de comunidades y Jurados Locales.
