El festival, cada año seguirá contando con una temática protagonista a la que le ofrecerá un destaque y participación mayoritarios con el fin de visibilizar comunidades minoritarias, y, en esta II Edición tenemos especial interés en aquellos trabajos que respondan al eje conceptual de nuestra edición, los afrofuturismos*, desde sus propuestas estéticas, códigos y/o discursos para conformar un programa especial dedicada al cine surgido desde las miradas de las afrodescendencias. A través de esta mirada, vamos a prefigurar futuros, a explorar la producción de la diáspora africana contemporánea y a revisitar las raíces de las afrodescendencias en Latinoamérica para buscar nuevos vínculos entre futuros utópicos y pasados posibles y, así, reinventar la historia que nos merecemos tener.
*AFROFUTURISMO: es un tipo de estética literaria y cultural que combina elementos de ciencia ficción, ficción histórica, fantasía y realismo mágico con cosmogonías no occidentales. El movimiento también ha sido definido por la autora y cineasta Ytasha L. Womack, como la exploración de «la intersección entre cultura negra, tecnología, liberación e imaginación, con una pizca de misticismo también. […] Es una forma de unir el futuro con el pasado y, en esencia, de ayudar a reinventar la experiencia de las personas de color».1 Su objeto es criticar no solo la problemática actual de las personas de color sino también revisar, cuestionar y reexaminar los eventos del pasado.
**Afrodiaspórico: El pensamiento afrodiaspórico debe entenderse como un proyecto humanista que refleja la voluntad de vida por la dignificación del ser humano africano y sus descendientes.
Son bienvenidas obras experimentales de cineastas emergentes y establecidos de cualquier parte del universo, en cualquiera de sus géneros audiovisuales, tanto en cine como en video: Ensayo, Poema, Danza, Musical, Performático, Ritual, Abstracto, Avant Garde, Confesional, Documental de Archivo, Livecinema, así como en cualquiera de sus técnicas, formatos o estrategias como la animación y la apropiación, sin límite de duración, ni año de producción.
