ABYCINE – FESTIVAL Y MERCADO DE CINE INDEPENDIENTE DE ALBACETE tiene entre sus objetivos fundamentales la difusión y promoción de películas y cortometrajes de carácter independiente que, por una u otra razón, no disfrutan de distribución regular en los circuitos convencionales de exhibición.
El Festival trata de cubrir, en la medida de lo posible, este importante vacío. Asimismo, otro de sus propósitos, no menos relevante, es presentar una selección de películas que atiendan a las nuevas corrientes del cine joven contemporáneo, al fenómeno “indie” en el cine español y a la educación de la mirada de las nuevas generaciones de espectadores.
Since its 1st edition in Barcelos in 2008, the ART&TUR Festival has effectively fulfilled its mission of making known to the world the best audiovisual productions in Portugal and in the world.
As a forum for sharing experiences, the ART&TUR Festival has achieved a high international recognition, thanks to the quality and quantity of films that it distinguishes annually, as well as its integration into a worldwide network of similar festivals: CIFFT (International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals) that annually elects the best tourism film worldwide, among all the films that travel the international circuit of 16 festivals.
From 2018, ART&TUR Film Festival rights were transferred from APTUR to Centro de Portugal Film Commission (CPFC). Associated to this change, and thanks to an agreement between the CPFC and the Regional Tourism Entity of Center of Portugal, the ART&TUR Festival will now be held in the Central Region, roaming through the various municipalities of the Center of Portugal.
There are 2 different competitions for you: TOURFILM & DOC
Worldwide entries are invited: Advertising, Promotional Films, Animation, Independent Travel Videos, Documentaries, Webdocs and TV Programmes

Poiché il Festival Internazionale di Cortometraggi «Ciudad de Soria» considera sempre il CINEMA dei cortometraggi come capitale e considera essenziale la diffusione della cultura, il nostro scopo è promuovere come mezzo di espressione audiovisiva il contributo al riconoscimento e alla diffusione. Questo formato deve essere essenzialmente e fondamentalmente una parte del CINEMA.
Festival Inclús è un festival di produzioni audiovisive, sia documentarie che di finzione, incentrate sul tema delle disabilità fisiche e mentali. È un'iniziativa Associació Inclús e condotta da Fish Muvi.
L'obiettivo del Festival Inclús è dare visibilità alle opere audiovisive prodotte sul tema della disabilità con un punto di vista diverso. L'obiettivo è fornire una prospettiva più profonda della realtà delle disabilità, indipendentemente dal fatto che la produzione sia effettuata da entità direttamente coinvolte nel mondo della disabilità o da altre persone o gruppi.
Siamo anche un festival inclusivo, motivo per cui abbiamo due nuove sezioni: Inclus values, cinema per bambini e adolescenti su questioni sociali e Sing Language cinema, film in lingua dei segni.
Il Festival si terrà dal 10 al 16 dicembre 2025, in prossimità della Giornata internazionale della disabilità, il 3 dicembre. Il materiale audiovisivo dei finalisti verrà riprodotto durante questa giornata in base alle diverse categorie. Ci saranno premi per le migliori candidature. Inclús si concentra sulle produzioni audiovisive, ma ha anche altre attività e discipline artistiche e commerciali per dare visibilità a questo settore.
