Corruption materializes into a giant landfill site that expands uncontrollably, which devours collective hopes and memories from the city and their inhabitants. This is the story behind The Vortex, a documentary that combines with fiction to immortalize for posterity the Great Fire of Valparaíso of 2014, the worst disaster of this kind in the history of Chile.

The Land Between offers an intimate insight into the lives of Sub-Saharan African migrants living in the mountains of northern Morocco. For most, their dream is to enter Europe, but to do so they have to jump a highly-militarized barrier into Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the African continent. These migrants suffer an extreme violence and constant mistreatment from both the Moroccan and Spanish authorities. The film also explores many universal questions such as how and why people are prepared to risk everything to leave their country, their family and friends, in search of a new and better life.

August 29 - September 3, 2016
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
