An additional thematic programming has happened over all these years, giving space to screening of significant works of contemporary cinema appropriately framed in concerns and / or well-defined objectives.
The AVANCA is known as a space for workshops led by personalities of world cinema, and being more than a "master class", has allowed a unique cinema practice. Every year we have always 6 or 7 workshops, bringing together participants from all over Europe. The media have written that this is the largest European area of professional workshops in the field of cinema.
AVANCA is the only festival that congregates a Cinema International Competition, works from the television area, video and new supports of multimedia, with a special concern of exhibit the best world productions done in each category.
Since the first edition, the festival only accepts unprecedented films in Portugal.
The World Premiere competition is unique in our country and was only possible because Avanca became a passage point of unpublished authors and movies with great quality. Films that have their world premiere in the festival, independently of the submitted category, are also participating in the World Premiere Competition.
AVANCA is the Portuguese festival with the highest percentage of worldwide unpublished movies that find here their first showing.

Senzo Zindela (Filmmaker)
Concorto Film Festival is addressed to cinephiles, both general audience and professionals.
The purpose is to promote short films and to generate contacts among audience, young directors and professionals.
Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken and with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents around 300 films coming from around 50 countries at different places in Paris. In Berlin the festival will be performed in the legendary cinema Babylon.
The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.
Day Of Film Festival is a dynamic and fast growing film event that shows the best out of film in one day, in every aspect. Several aspects of film will be at the centre of attention for a complete day. Not only from the crowd, but also professionals. Workshops, lectures, panel-discussions and the viewing of a great selection of films are combined in an event that has captured hundreds of peoples attention every year. Your film is their finishing touch! And even better: it can be awarded!
2018
The 2018 edition will take place in Lumière Cinema Maastricht on May 19th.
PRÉSENTATION
Le concept TUWUN représente l'origine territoriale mapuche qui, avec KVPALME, l'origine familiale, représente l'identité mapuche ancrée dans le LOF, un espace territorial qui est à son tour à la base de la structure territoriale ancestrale d'un espace plus vaste, le WALLMAPU, l'ensemble du territoire mapuche.
Ce concept de Mapudungun, la langue mapuche, donne naissance à TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, créé dans le but de faire connaître à travers le cinéma cette identité et les réalités liées aux connaissances ancestrales et à la façon dont elles sont comprises. La vie à partir de la vision et de la relation de chaque peuple avec son environnement, avec son territoire, avec sa propre histoire, culture et spiritualité et, par conséquent, de la leur perspective.
En ce sens, nous pensons que l'exposition TUWUN représente une occasion précieuse d'en apprendre davantage sur la façon dont la vie est comprise à partir de la propre culture des peuples autochtones et un espace important pour partager le point de vue et la réalité exprimés par leurs propres voix représentatives, à travers le cinéma. En plus de contribuer à la décentralisation du cinéma et de la culture, de générer un processus de circulation au niveau territorial et de proposer l'exposition itinérante et ses activités complémentaires à un public large et diversifié, dans les zones urbaines et rurales, avec l'exposition des œuvres participantes dans divers espaces, tels que les communautés mapuches, les écoles et les centres culturels dans les villes qui ont généralement des difficultés d'accès au cinéma parce qu'elles sont éloignées des grands centres urbains, générant également des espaces Nvtram (conversation) autour de ses contenus.
PRINCIPALES ACTIVITÉS
TUWUN est une exposition de films autochtones qui consiste principalement en la réalisation d'une exposition centrale, qui a lieu chaque année pendant 4 jours, au centre culturel municipal de Villarrica, accompagnée d'activités menées dans différents quartiers de la ville. Et d'une exposition itinérante, qui couvre différents lieux de Wallmapu, le territoire ancestral mapuche (sud du Chili et Argentine) et qui se tient du mois suivant l'exposition centrale au mois de juin de l'année suivante, où, pour le peuple mapuche, le cycle se termine et recommence avec la célébration de Wiñoy Tripantu (Nouvel an mapuche).
ACTIVITÉS COMPLÉMENTAIRES
Dans le cadre de TUWUN, nous développons diverses activités complémentaires, à la fois pendant l'exposition centrale et pendant l'exposition itinérante. Parmi celles-ci, un TRAWUN (réunion), des projections spéciales animées par des invités de peuples autochtones et du peuple mapuche, des NVTRAMCINE (forums de cinéma), des projections de TUWUN insérées dans d'autres compétitions cinématographiques et culturelles, des projections pour les écoles et les communautés, des cycles spéciaux pendant la saison estivale. Et un atelier pour l'appréciation du cinéma identitaire, que nous avons conçu pour la formation et la médiation auprès de différents publics, tels que les enfants et les jeunes d'âge scolaire, les adultes, les dirigeants d'organisations, les communautés mapuches, etc.
ALLIANCES STRATÉGIQUES
TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu est coordonné et produit par ADKIMVN Cine y Comunicación Mapuche, avec le parrainage du centre culturel municipal de LIQUEN et de l'illustre municipalité de Villarrica, et avec la collaboration d'un réseau d'organisations, de centres culturels, de départements municipaux de la culture, de communautés mapuches et de centres éducatifs.
