Announcement of the Official Competition Selection of the 7th FICNOVA 2024
Monday 15th July 2024
The international organising team of the International Film Festival of Active Nonviolence (FICNOVA), in accordance with the festival’s rules and regulations, announces today 15th July 2024 the Official Competition Selection for its Seventh Edition 2024
Once again, thousands of filmmakers and collectives have turned their attention to this festival themed around nonviolence, presenting a multitude of films with their diverse proposals, from different cultures.
Of the 2,724 works received from 126 countries, 921 films from 93 countries will be officially selected for competition.
By sections of the festival, we recognise:
Section | Films received | Selected Works | |
Educational Institutions (Short Films) | 364 | 120 | |
| 1889 | 629 | |
General Section Medium-length films | 109 | 41 | |
| 362 | 131 | |
TOTAL | 2724 | 921 |
The list of the 921 selected films can be viewed from this link.
All the films are admitted as they recognise significant elements of active nonviolence, such as the denunciation of some form of violence (physical, economic, racial, sexual, religious, psychological or moral) or discrimination.
But in many of them we can see a greater impulse than a simple denunciation, an effort to overcome the pain and suffering of people, looking for the roots of conflicts and proposing ways out to transfer and solve situations.
The films selected as finalists in each category will be announced on 2 September.
Until then, we urge you not to lose sight of this sign of nonviolence, which connects with the best aspirations of human beings.
