Arica Nativa 2023 opens call to participate in the Native Film Festival
The love for conservation will reunite the communities of the Arica and Parinacota region. The Arica Nativa Native Film Festival returns, turning 18, traveling with exciting film projections that rescue identities, places and ancestral knowledge. This year, the film meeting proposes to immerse itself in the entire region, enhancing its presence and closeness with its inhabitants.
The Arica Nativa 2023 festival, organized by the Altiplano Foundation, will take place between November 6 and 12 and is financed by the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage, through its Support Program for Collaborating Cultural Organizations (PAOCC).
Directors from all over Chile, Latin America and the world will be able to register until June 30 in the ten categories that the festival brings together for this edition.
Firstly, the Long and Short Rural category seeks to be a window for stories that portray images of the rural world and the cultural landscape that survives outside the cities.
In the long and short Jallalla category, films that have been directed, produced or written by indigenous filmmakers and that are related to their culture, customs, worldview and cultural landscape participate.
With the long and short Mallku category, the festival will be screening films that present the wonders of Mother Nature, or Pachamama, and the urgent need to preserve or respect them.
The newest category, Afrika long and short, seeks productions that promote and disseminate the cultural richness and problems of the African diaspora in the world.
Lastly, Filmin' Arica/Tacna is the category that offers a space for Arica and Tacna creations that promote their cultural landscape and their exceptional natural and cultural treasures. Read More…
