FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de eventos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.

"In an era of global tension, humor is not an escape—it is the most sophisticated tool we have for critical thought and social transformation."
FARCUME 2026: The 16th Faro International Short Film Festival
After five years of unprecedented growth, FARO 1540 (Association for the Defense and Promotion of Environmental and Cultural Heritage of Faro) is proud to announce the 16th edition of FARCUME. The festival will return to the heart of Faro, Portugal, from October 16 to 18, 2026, solidifying its reputation as a truly international and cosmopolitan cultural landmark.
Our mission remains steadfast: to provide a launchpad for new talent and to bring high-quality works to the public that often lack the mainstream promotion they deserve. Within our signature relaxed and informal atmosphere, FARCUME honors the creativity and dedication of directors, actors, and technical teams who achieve cinematic excellence through modest means.
The 2026 Theme: Humor as a Way of Thinking the World
This year, FARCUME explores the concept of laughter as a sophisticated critical language. In a time of overlapping environmental, social, and political crises, humor serves as a bridge. It allows us to:
Deconstruct dominant narratives and social norms.
Bridge the gap between complex issues like sustainability and public understanding.
Dialogue through satire, irony, and the absurd to reveal the contradictions of our time.
More than just a momentary laugh, we are seeking films in Fiction, Documentary, and Animation that use humor as a device for reflection—works that make the world more legible and, ultimately, more human.
Commitment to Ethics and the Environment
As an Environmental NGO, FARO 1540 ensures that FARCUME is more than just a screen for films; it is a platform for values. The festival maintains a strict ethical stance, rejecting any content that encourages environmental disrespect, human rights inequality, or animal abuse.
Furthermore, we are implementing a specialized Environmental Management Plan for 2026 to optimize resources and minimize waste, ensuring the festival's footprint is as responsible as the stories we tell.
Join us in Faro to celebrate cinema that educates, provokes, and mobilizes—without ever losing its lightness.

FICSEM Festival, 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.
