The island of the short

Roma, Italy


La kermesse Isola di Roma con la direzione artistica di Giorgio Ginori, presenta la prima edizione del contest “L’isola del Corto”, con lo scopo di valorizzare il cinema breve, come forma di espressione artistica di autori nazionali e internazionali. Quest’anno, in aggiunta al noto concorso per cortometraggi, Mamma Roma, rivolto agli appassionati di cinema il festival apre le sue porte al mondo dei professionisti del settore audiovisivo.

I cortometraggi si presentano come un prodotto altro rispetto allo standard cinematografico ed è spesso campo d’allenamento per artisti che attendono di poter realizzare un lungometraggio ma è anche una forma espressiva autonoma che sta al racconto come il lungometraggio sta al romanzo e trova in questo contesto uno spazio dedicato senza vincoli di tema o genere.

Il cinema breve spesso è esordio ed apprendistato di tanti grandi maestri del cinema ma anche una loro chicca sconosciuta ai più che L’isola di Roma, con questo concorso, valorizza ampliando lo spazio dedicato alla loro proiezione inserendoli nel palinsesto del festival e nel contesto culturale promosso nel cuore della città di Roma.
Con “l’isola del Corto” il festival 2018 si prefigge di promuovere la conoscenza, l’incontro, il confronto e la collaborazione di professionisti e semiprofessionisti del settore cinematografico e audiovisivo.

Likewise, we seek agents of change and original initiatives that encourage a positive change in the care of the environment.

THEME: "Sowing awareness"

We are interested in all kinds of environmental issues and traditions. We seek to disseminate messages that usually do not receive the necessary coverage, much less in rural communities where cultural and artistic exhibitions are sadly absent.

Chulpicine Film Festival for Children and Youth

Quito, Ecuador


Chulpicine began its work in 2002 with the first ever Itinerant Children & Youth Film Festival in Quito. The warm welcome that the project received allowed the festival to become an annual event during the months of July to September, bringing an educational and entertaining event at no cost, to sectors with few cultural activities.

Thanks to the positive reaction, Chulpicine became a cultural and educational non-profit foundation in June 2004. After more than 10 years of experience, Chulpicine have reach a stable proposal and working methodology that has spread at national level. The Festival has promoted the creation of coaching staff; cultural managers working in different communities; and a large group of followers.

Chulpicine has designed a set of activities and workshops for institutions, community organizations or outreach workers to educate and train in different areas related to cinema, audiovisual, communication and Internet used as social intervention tools. These activities and workshops have been the beginning of a formation of learning communities by harnessing the capabilities of young people, as well as the setting up of an active and engaged network of social facilitators through the film and audiovisual work.

The Foundation carries out the following program lines: training; intervention; appropriation of public spaces; diffusion and production. This line of work is an alternative to foster community networks to develop communication skills, analysis and reflection in the various stakeholders of the community, thereby strengthening its organizational and self-development skills.

The foundation has a multidisciplinary team currently working on the projects. These people are responsible for different areas: there is a psychologist, a producer, a programmer, a communicator and an accountant.

In addition, every year about 12 people are hired to assist in the implementation of activities. This group is made up of people who have worked in the past in the festival and some new young people that wish to join the group. Also, each year we have the support of volunteers from different organizations.
