Prémios Quirino de Animação Iberoamericana

Tenerife, Spain


Os Prêmios Quirino nascem da necessidade de reconhecer o talento na indústria da animação ibero-americana, criando laços e redes entre ambos os lados do oceano.

O evento reúne, portanto, a florescente indústria latino-americana, junto com a de Portugal, Andorra e Espanha, construindo uma verdadeira irmanação para o desenvolvimento conjunto do grande mercado que é a Ibero-América.

Além de reconhecer os melhores trabalhos de animação ibero-americana em nove categorias, os Prémios Quirino servem de marco para o Fórum de Coprodução e Negócios. Cem empresas de vinte países participam todos os anos em reuniões B2B.

Os prêmios foram nomeados em honra do criador do primeiro longa-metragem de animação da história. Em 1917, Quirino Cristiani dirigiu “El Apóstol” (O Apóstolo), uma produção argentina na que foram usados 58.000 desenhos em 35 mm, além de várias maquetes.

Desta maneira, os Prêmios Quirino prestam homenagem ao talento e à criatividade ibero-americana.

STUDENT CONTEST FILMORAMAX x BELLECOUR SCHOOL

LYON, France


Everything begins with an idea, a line, a movement — a spark born on a sheet of paper, that comes to life and starts to move.

It’s this magic that Bellecour École and Filmoramax have decided to celebrate together through a student animation film competition, entirely dedicated to the young talents who will shape the cinema of tomorrow.

Behind this project lies a shared ambition: to offer a stage to the new generation of artists, allowing them to express their vision, tell their stories, and reveal to audiences the emotional power of animation.
This competition is much more than a contest — it’s a meeting point:
between the school and the festival, between students and professionals, between passion and the future.

Throughout the day, participants and the public will dive into the world of animated creation through inspiring masterclasses, exclusive screenings, and an award ceremony celebrating the most promising talents.

The masterclasses will take place at Bellecour École, a place of learning and transmission where tomorrow’s creators are shaped every day.
The screenings of the competing films will be held at UGC Confluence, bringing the audience to life through the rhythm of student imagination.
Finally, the day will conclude where it all began — at Bellecour École — with the award ceremony and a closing gala marked by sharing, creativity, and celebration.

Two distinctions will be awarded:

Audience Award, reflecting the emotions and favorites of the audience.

Grand Jury Prize, presented by a panel of animation film professionals, offering the winner a one-year UGC subscription for two people — to keep nurturing their passion, film after film.

Program – Friday, December 12, 2025

10:00 – 11:00 AM: Masterclass – Bellecour École

La Garriga Film Fest

La Garriga, Spain


Welcome to La Garriga Film Fest, an independent film festival that transforms the city into a meeting point for creators, dreamers, and lovers of the seventh art. Nestled in the modernist heart of Catalonia, this festival celebrates the power of cinema as a tool for artistic expression, social reflection, and shared emotion.

Why La Garriga?
La Garriga is not just a city — it’s a stage.
Located just 40 km from Barcelona, La Garriga blends history, modernist architecture, natural surroundings, and a vibrant cultural life. Walking through its streets is like discovering architectural gems, centuries-old thermal springs, and a community deeply committed to art and culture.

That spirit inspires every screening and every encounter during the festival.

Cine Alhambra: A Century-Old Treasure
The selected films are screened at the Cine Alhambra, one of the oldest cinemas still operating in Catalonia. With its classic charm and a year-round curated program, the Alhambra is more than just a cinema — it's the cinematic soul of La Garriga.

During the festival, it becomes the epicenter of dialogue, emotion, and discovery.

Why Participate?
If you're an independent filmmaker, La Garriga Film Fest is your space to:

Showcase your work in an authentic setting devoted to auteur cinema.
Connect with fellow creators, producers, and programmers in an inspiring and intimate environment.
Compete for awards in various categories: fiction, documentary, experimental, young filmmaker, short film, and more.

We’re not looking for big budgets — we’re looking for powerful stories.

For the Public
La Garriga Film Fest is not just for professionals. It’s an open, accessible, and welcoming event with activities for all ages:

Completely free screenings
Special sections for local and international cinema. The EMAD School of Art and Design will have a special section where students will showcase their best projects. It's a great opportunity to support local talent.

ÉCU - The European Independent Film Festival proudly provides the platform for independent filmmakers to express authentic, cinematic storytelling in the most compelling ways possible.

As one of the world’s most recognised independent film festivals in the world, ÉCU embraces innovation and creativity and allows directors in competition to showcase their films to audiences who love and appreciate independent cinema. Filmmakers who are selected into ÉCU’s Official Selection join an active community of creatives who are continually pushing the boundaries of independent cinema.

Since its inception in 2006, ÉCU has forged a path for independent film and the scope of its presence has grown to a global scale with the festival often being referenced as the European equivalent of Sundance; an honour that we don’t take lightly.

"Paris has become my second home, and ÉCU my creative family. Mr.Scott Hillier is now the father of my independent spirit. I’m deeply honored and grateful for the Audience Award, and truly moved to see my film open the official 2025 trailer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Fumitaka Otoguro producer of Tokyo Strange Tale winner of the Audience Award 2025

"This festival is an outstanding, welcoming, and attentive event for independent film lovers, catering to both the audience and filmmakers. It devotes considerable attention to the presentation and dissemination of films and their creators, and also meticulously analyzes film themes and content. The team of festival organizers is exceptional, demonstrating great care and responsibility. We are very happy that our film PURGA was featured in this festival. Highly recommended!" - Gintare Valeviciute Brazauskienė, Co-director of PURGA, the winner of the Best European Independent Animation award 2024

"Great opportunity for independent filmmakers around the world, the festival has values and I like the way people engaged and watched all the films with passionate." - Abdulmohsen Almutairi, director of Memories from the North, ÉCU 2023 Official Selection

"It is always an absolute joy to present one's work at ECU. The team are fantastically helpful, the jury extremely competent, and the selection of the highest quality. I would recommend participating to anyone who's in love with indie filmmaking!" - Celina Liesegang, producer of Viscera: Autopsy of a (non)human body, ÉCU 2022 Official Selection

"It was an absolute privilege to be part of the ÉCU Film Festival and in the company of so many incredible and high quality independent films! What truly fantastic programming and as a filmmaker you are really made to feel part of a passionate global community of people who really believe in the same values around story telling and visual expression. Thank you to the whole team behind the scenes." - Karina Astrup, producer of MORGANA, ÉCU 2021 Official Selection

Each year, our festival takes place in Paris during the springtime, which is not only a beautiful season but also an exciting time of year for ÉCU, because that is when we showcase roughly around 60 of the World’s very best independent films. Although ÉCU emphasises European talent, it also recognises the genius of international filmmakers with several categories allocated to non-European films.

The next ÉCU, the 21st edition, will take place on April, 2026 in Paris, France.

ÉCU isn’t just about screening an amazing slate of films over its three-day event in Paris. There are also professional workshops led by experts in the industry, Q&A’s held with the attending filmmakers after every screening session and a chance to network with fellow filmmakers, producers, agents, industry representatives, prospective film buyers and, of course, the cinema-loving public. At ÉCU, there is a dialogue focusing on celebrating but also critiquing the world’s best indie cinema of today.

Though ÉCU’s main event IS the three-day festival in Paris each spring, there is even more! Thanks to our 50+ partner festivals, partner organisations, film centres and film commissions, ÉCU goes on an annual world tour called ÉCU-On-The-Road. This gives award-winning films (as well as many of the Official Selection films) the opportunity for their films to reach a broader, global, international audience.

ÉCU-On-The-Road showcased films in over 80 countries around the globe in 2016 to 2025 at special ÉCU mini-festivals, partner festivals, cultural institutions and film schools, including an amazing seven day special festival in São Paulo, Brazil. The event was made possible through the support of Caixa Cultural, São Paulo and was a huge success. ÉCU also held special events in Berlin (Germany), Atami (Japan) and was part of festivals in Lebanon, Italy, Russia, USA, Romania, Austria, Denmark and ot­her countries. This gives ÉCU filmmakers great exposure to audiences that they may never have reached otherwise.
Since 2006, ÉCU has helped the careers of hundreds of independent filmmakers, actors, DPs, editors, screenwriters and we are honoured to give aspiring film directors the chance for their voices to be seen and heard.

Above all, we are proud to be a filmmakers’ festival!

AURA Film Festival

Sochi, Gelendzhik, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar Russian Federation, Russia


The word AURA has two meanings: it’s the atmosphere and the wind blowing. The name of the film festival was inspired by both of these definitions. Our film festival is an atmosphere of creativity, celebration and art. A whiff of wind is the wind of change and the point of films, as well as the wind from the seas, near which the cities of film screenings are located (the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Sea of Azov).

The screening sessions of the films of the film festival are held in three cities at once. In the south it is Sochi and Rostov-on-Don, and in the Northwest it is the cultural city of St. Petersburg. Film screenings take place in cultural and youth centers, both indoors and outdoors.

We screen both fiction films, documentaries and animated films, as well as social videos from around the world. In addition, there is a competition of posters and photo projects.

Viewers of different ages attend our film festival. After the screenings, there is a discussion with the creators and organizers of the festival.

On the last day of the film festival, an award ceremony will be held, where statuettes, diplomas and gifts from partners will be presented to the winners of the film festival.

AURA Film Festival is a review competition of films received evaluation by the Selection Committee.

The Festival’s aim is to support cinematographers and to contribute to the development and promotion of film industries.

The film festival focuses on a variety of themes and genres.

It is a strong advocate for social change, and encourages cultural diversity and understanding between nations.

We are also including and actively supporting not only the finest examples of classic moviemaking, but works that are experimental, breaking ground in new non-narrative forms and crossing over into the video arts. All films will be reviewed as they are submitted, and the best in each category will be chosen to screen at the festival. Semi-finalist films will not be screened but will receive our festival laurels.

The final decision on the inclusion of the film in the Festival competition program is made by the Selection Committee which reserves the right not to explain the reason for the refusal and not to give any comment.

The winners are chosen by the organizing committee of the film festival.

The winners receive valuable prizes from sponsors and partners, laurels and diplomas.

You can only send an application for entry through the platform festhome.com. The final decision on the inclusion of the film in the Festival competition program is made by the Selection Committee which reserves the right not to explain the reason for the refusal and not to give any comment.
