We are celebrating the tenth edition of the Ciutadà Compromés Film Festival, organized by ACICOM.

Faithful to the initial project, we want to bring Valencian audiovisual productions closer to the public, which is why we project on multiple screens counting on the synergies of social entities and organizations. We will have civic and social, institutional and commercial rooms.

We value, with their exhibition, Valencian audiovisual productions, those that bring us a committed look. Our environment, social, territorial, economic, human rights, relationships, etc. is treated in these works. Some audiovisuals with a restless look.

We are a festival away from the red carpet, and more identified with the people and organizations we care about and work to improve society.

The Mostra Cinepoesia 2026 is a film event that promotes dialogue between cinema and poetry through the screening of experimental short films, video art, or video poetry created by authors, poets, filmmakers, directors, or artists.

The event plans to select approximately 15 original works for screening—whether previously released or not—including those submitted by applicants or invited participants, as well as works from the festival’s collection.

The presence of poetic language is essential in the selected audiovisual works, whether narrated, spoken, sung, or written.

We seek new possibilities for poetic cinema that draws on linguistic experimentation and the synergy between images, sounds, and words.
