Fortaleza, Brazil


NOIA is a university festival that was born in a Brazilian public university, as an initiative of students who wanted to produce their films and find exhibition spaces. It all started in 2002, and both Culture and Education in Brazil were in a very different moment than they are now. The event has accompanied this transformation: it has succeeded, failed, learned, deepened reflections and continues a trajectory marked by growth and the construction of relevance.

In this 23rd edition of NOIA, we are beginning a new stage that reveals a little of this transformation: in addition to the new visual identity in honor of social minorities, we will strengthen our relationship with national and international universities.

We value the dialogues we have always had, but our history is built on Brazilian soil.

The 23rd edition of the NOIA Festival is held by PROPONO Consultoria Executiva and the Ministry of Culture via the Rouanet Law. It is promoted by Canal FDR, Jornal O Povo, Fundação Demócrito Rocha, Fundação Roberto Marinho and Canal Futura.

Complete your registration by sending a Proof of Enrollment and the Declaration of Participation in the NOIA Festival to the email: noia@propono.com.br.

Hello there,

Coronavirus and the Covid-19 disease changed the world in so many different ways. For the last two years — 2021 and 2022 — we had our festival online, which was a new experience for us. It all went well, and instead of a small audience at one venue, we had the audience around the world! That was one big benefit, but we missed having people together, and talk about the films and make new friends.

Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, we are still unsure of holding the 18th edition of the Free Spirit Film Festival (2022) at certain venue like in the past. If gathering still remains as an issue, we will host it online again.

If the pandemic situation changes, and we could hold the festival at certain venue, we will announce when and where once we have those finalised. Submissions will be opened in June.

Be safe!

Sincerely yours,

Lobsang Wangyal
