Short films dealing with identity robbery, its recognition and recovery,
and the personal and social consequences.
The Creators for Identity and Memory Association (ACIM) promotes
activities that denounce the robbery of identity, mainly when it affects
children. It is closely related with the Grandmothers of the Plaza de
Mayo Association. Its members organized de three cycles of Theater for
Identity-Catalunya.
Children abduction and forged identity were a systematic policy during
both the last Argentine military dictatorship, Spanish Franco’s regime
and other “the facto” governments.
ACIM considers that stolen identities should be restablished as this is
an inherent human right.

World", this edition will host the same kind of activities as the "adult"
one (calls for entries, workshops, screenings, installations, exhibitions
and live PyRformances) under the motto "No representation, only dots and
lines".
The CALLS FOR ENTRIES are currently
open, and the selected works will compete for the Jury and Audience
Awards.
SHORT FILM Call for
entries: abstract short films experimenting with dots and lines in
various contexts. All techniques are welcome; maximum running time is 6
minutes and the soundtrack cannot feature articulated words. View the eligibility
criteria

The first
edition of Punto y Raya Junior
will take place on November 10th & 11th 2012 at the
CCCB (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona) with
free admission.
And from March through October, we'll be organizing
for children at various associated venues. We'll post all the details
soon.
For those who still don't know Punto y
Raya, this multidisciplinary festival studies the essence of
the artistic expression; it uses the minimum grains of all representation
systems (the dot and the line) as ends in themselves, inviting creators
and audiences to explore the artistic experience in its purest state:
form, color, motion, tension and sound. Punto y
Raya subscribes to the spirit of "Art for Art's sake"; that
unique experience that only abstraction can encompass in all its
dimensions.
For more information regarding our three "adult"
editions, please visit our website.

Disillusionment helps the feet enter the cold water. It’s like a whisper indifferent to the distorted music that echoes round the beach. Disillusionment makes these people beg to heaven what they cannot achieve on earth. How many are the dreams they dare not dream?
