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.

Sport is a form of pure art, an individualistic form of art. Even collective sports like football are art in themselves. Yes, sport is definitely an art – water jumps are so beautiful, archery as well. There is something else as well – collective sports like football, volleyball, basketball create a feeling of togetherness, commitment, family. Individual sports such as running, on the other hand, inspire you to challenge yourself every day. The goal off course is not to w...

Located in Southern
California, Fallbrook and its surrounding communities is a beehive of creative
energies: artists, sculptors, writers, actors, musicians, dancers, designers,
and filmmakers. In 2006, the non-profit Fallbrook Film Factory was formed to
foster filmmaking activities similar to community theatre, and out of that the Fallbrook
International Film Festival evolved, now entering its fifth season. Fallbrook
was also the family home to one of Hollywood’s all-time filmmaking legends
Frank Capra during the height of his filmmaking career. To that aim, we have
been most fortunate to gain the support of the Capra family, allowing us to
host a very special award in his name. And this year, due to the strong support
from the Hollywood stunt community, we are adding Action Films as an award category
and workshops with top stunt directors, reveling this hidden art of filmmaking.

These are not Elias Demetriou’s words. They were said by one of the female characters in the film Fish N’Chips,
with which the director participates in the International Competiion of
the SIFF. But they are essential for the understanding of the entire
film. The subject is very suitable for
a comedy, but Demetriou
chooses a completely different approach, creting a serious film, which
in today’s multicultural situation in Europe poses a very important
question: Who we are – t...
