Cine Migratorio, an international film festival about migration, is pleased to announce the opening of the call for entries for the 2nd edition, to be held June 5-9, 2013 in Santander, Spain.The Festival will present a program of artistically accomplished, thematically challenging and stimulating films about migration to students, migrants, Santander residents, and anyone who wishes to join us for this weekend-long event. We hope these films will incite reflection and discussion about migration, but also about the power of film to capture mobility in a modern age.

Cine Migratorio encourages and invites media makers to submit films that speak to the topic of migration from any thematic angle, method of approach, or political perspective. Experimental films are as welcome as documentaries; we accept all film genres and running times. While some programs in Cine Migratorio will focus on migration in Spain, we invite filmmakers of all backgrounds to submit their films; migration knows no global bounds and neither will this festival.

NOTE: If movies are not in Spanish or include Spanish subtitles, please plan to have Spanish subtitles created if your film is accepted for inclusion in the Festival.

Our partner festivals are Play-Doc in Spain, Terra di Tutti Film Festival in Italy, Karama Human Rights Film Festival in Jordan, ViBGYOR International Film Festival in India and Save the Immigrant Film Festival in the United States.
