The Festival’s programming coordinator, Guillermo Olivares, was invited to participate, as part of the Belt and Road Film Festival Alliance, a network that brings together 55 members from 48 countries.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

To encourage the circulation, promotion and dissemination of Chilean cinema, FICValdivia was present at the latest version of the Shanghai International Film Festival, part of the delegation invited by the Belt and Road Film Festival Alliance, an association to which the event belongs, since 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the collaboration between festivals, from Shanghai, FICValdivia programming coordinator Guillermo Olivares said that: \u201cAs FICValdivia, we are motivated to participate in this network, as it allows us to strengthen the festival\u2019s international presence at new spaces for cooperation. This, in turn, helps us generate new circulation and exhibition opportunities for the Chilean pictures participating in the latest version of our festival in Valdivia. In that sense, this participation is consistent with our ideal of not abandoning both audiences and films in this complex international scenario, promoting their discovery in new forms and new spaces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Since March 2020, FICValdivia has been part of the international network of film festivals The Belt and Road, an initiative promoted by the Shanghai International Film Festival Organizing Committee, whose objective is to connect filmmakers, festivals, and movies, in order to expand their distribution and circulation in various countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

FICValdivia joined this extensive network, which brings together 55 members from 48 countries, strengthening cinematographic cultural exchanges between nations, promoting collaboration programs to cooperate in the production, co-production, and distribution of motion pictures among the film festivals that make up the network, establishing a circuit for support, dissemination, and the exchange of diverse knowledge, and exploring new developments for film festivals in the future, considering the current scenario in which we find ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this, FICValdivia hopes to strengthen its presence in international festival networks, advancing Chilean cinema and its filmmakers around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival network meeting in Shanghai was complemented by The Belt and Road Film Week, a special section in the festival, which screened 8 movies selected from proposals by network-member festivals. Showcased among these was <\/span>Los Colonos,<\/span><\/i> by Felipe Galvez, FICValdivia\u2019s proposal for the program. The feature film had an excellent reception from the Chinese audience and at the series closing ceremony, it received the Media Choice Award for Film, presented by Ilda Santiago, programming director at the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, and Chinese director Wu Lang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Olivares was one of the speakers during the inaugural session of The Belt and Road Film Festival Alliance and presented one of the awards. He highlighted the week had been a success both for FICValdivia and for Chilean cinema, having achieved the objective of bringing the festival and Chilean cinema to new audiences, and with the hopes to maintain and strengthen Chilean and Valdivian participation at this important global cinematographic event.<\/span><\/p>\n
