The International Films & Indigenous Arts Festival in Wallmapu

Dakel’ün ka mangeluwün /
Calls and Invites /

Indigenous and non-indigenous audiovisual filmmakers, from various nationalities
and territories, to submit their works on indigenous and / or Afro-descendant themes,
free style and length, individually or collectively created, to the 6th edition of the
Ficwallmapu Festival, to be held between Monday, January 11 until Friday,
January 15, 2021, in the city of Temuko, Ngülumapu, Mapuche Territory (in the

Araucanía Region, after the installation of the Chilean state).
The deadline to participate is Friday, July 31, 2020.

The audiovisual productions that are submitted to Ficwallmapu must respect the
views and voices of the different communities of Indigenous Peoples and / or Afro-
descendants that participate in the process behind and in front of cameras. The
festival will privilege the selection of films that contribute to decolonization processes
and that are in tune with the values ​​and worldviews of the peoples involved, moving
away from the productions that promote cultural appropriation, stereotypes,
discrimination, prejudice, machismo, direct propaganda of political parties, among
other aspects that are detrimental or prejudicial to the peoples.
In its sixth edition, Ficwallmapu calls, with particular interest, films that address the
right of self-determination of Indigenous Peoples and / or Afro-descendant Peoples,
that make visible proposals of governance, economies, social and cultural rights
from a perspective and character of decolonization.
