About Festival Internacional de Cine de la No-Violencia Activa - FICNOVA

I AM Festival Internacional de Cine de la No-Violencia Activa - FICNOVA

Our main topic is the active nonviolence. Registration of films from April 21 to December 31, 2021.

FICNOVA - ANIFF (Active Nonviolence International Film Festival) FICNOVA is an initiative that is celebrated around the 2nd of October every two years, thus commemorating the International Day of Nonviolence declared by the United Nations. The competition phase has been held every two years since the second edition in 2014. It is organized and promoted through voluntary work by the non-profit humanist association FICNOVA, in collaboration with other humanist organizations inspired by Universalist Humanism, and associations, entities and individuals who share the transforming sensitivity of active nonviolence.
After its first four editions held in October 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2018 in different cities of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mauritania, Mexico, Peru and Spain, again participate in the preparation of the sixth edition of FICNOVA 2022 activists from different cities around the world.
The final list of venues may vary, either because new incorporations take place or because in some cities the minimum conditions for their celebration were not achieved in time, taking into account the difficulties of voluntary work in each country, self-financing and compliance with the permanent independence of any type of government agreement that could condition the objectives of the festival.
Depending on the logistics achieved in each place, three months before the start of the festival, we will publish the venues that meet the minimum general conditions for its celebration.
In no case can the non-celebration in an initially proposed city be detrimental to the whole, nor to the authors of the works presented, since the festival is neither commercial nor remunerated. Each place is independent, and all efforts made at a location that could not be fulfilled can be used for future editions of the festival.
We also wish to inform authors that the submission of works to competition is not made exclusively, allowing them the free disposal of the same and simultaneous submission to any other contest they consider.
From this general context, we share the following bases of participation of the Sixth Edition of FICNOVA 2022.
