L’International Comic Video Festival, è dedicato esclusivamente al “Corto Comico”.
In Italia ci sono tentativi di concorsi analoghi ma sono di risonanza locale, talvolta tesi a promuovere più che altro “i sapori, i colori e le tradizioni” di una regione oppure contrappongono solo esibizioni di cabaret.
L’International Comic Video Festival risulta dunque il primo e il solo Festival Internazionale dedicato esclusivamente al cortometraggio di carattere comico.
Il Festival si articola in sei Sezioni: Short-Com, Candid Camera, Free, Gag, Viral Marketing, Virale.

L'AVANCA Film Festival si è aggiudicato il primo posto nel 2011 nel concorso dei festival cinematografici di supporto sponsorizzati da ICA/Ministero della Cultura.
In tutti questi anni si è svolta un'ulteriore programmazione tematica, che ha dato spazio alla proiezione di importanti opere del cinema contemporaneo adeguatamente inquadrate in preoccupazioni e/o obiettivi ben definiti.
L'AVANCA è noto come spazio per workshop condotti da personalità del cinema mondiale e, essendo più di una «master class», ha consentito una pratica cinematografica unica. Ogni anno organizziamo workshop che riuniscono partecipanti da tutta Europa. I media hanno scritto che questa è la più grande area europea di workshop professionali nel campo del cinema.
AVANCA è l'unico festival che riunisce un Concorso Cinematografico Internazionale, opere del settore televisivo, video e nuovi supporti multimediali, con una particolare attenzione a mostrare le migliori produzioni mondiali realizzate in ogni categoria.
Sin dalla prima edizione, il festival accetta solo film senza precedenti in Portogallo.
Il concorso World Premiere è unico nel nostro paese ed è stato possibile solo perché Avanca è diventato un punto di passaggio per autori e film inediti di grande qualità. I film che hanno la loro anteprima mondiale al festival, indipendentemente dalla categoria presentata, partecipano anche al Concorso World Premiere.
AVANCA è il festival portoghese con la più alta percentuale di film inediti al mondo che trovano qui la loro prima proiezione.
Dal 2010 organizziamo la conferenza cinematografica internazionale AVANCA | CINEMA, che è diventata la conferenza più importante nel campo del cinema nella penisola iberica. Questa conferenza riunisce relatori e partecipanti da tutto il mondo.
Mostre tematiche, edizioni di libri, presentazioni bibliografiche e vari progetti hanno contraddistinto questi ultimi 10 anni di AVANCA con la qualità che contraddistingue il festival e i partecipanti ovviamente richiedono.
