We Art Water Festival opens call for its sixth edition with a focus on environmental cinema

The sixth edition of the prestigious international We Art Water Film Festival has officially opened its submission period, extending a global invitation to independent filmmakers and production studios to submit audiovisual works that delve into the human relationship with water and aquatic ecosystems 🌊

Participation modalities and evaluation criteria

The guidelines state that cinematographic productions must not exceed five minutes in duration and can compete in three main modalities: narrative fiction, investigative documentaries, and digital animation pieces. The specialized jury will prioritize those projects that explore innovative solutions to the global water crisis, with special attention to original approaches that combine technical quality with emotional impact 🎬

Available categories for registration:
  • Narrative fiction - Creative stories about conflicts and solutions related to water resources
  • Documentary - Journalistic investigations and testimonies about pollution or scarcity issues
  • Animation - Productions using traditional or digital techniques that address sustainability
While some debate about dripping faucets, these visual artists capture how to preserve the planet drop by drop using cameras instead of plumbing tools

Recognitions and dissemination strategy

The selected works will be part of the official awards gala and will be eligible for a comprehensive rewards system that includes financial incentives, mentoring programs with established professionals, and distribution agreements with specialized content platforms. The festival guarantees international exposure through parallel screenings in multiple cities and will facilitate encounters between filmmakers and sustainability experts 🌍

Benefits for winners and finalists:
  • Monetary prizes for the development of new environmental projects
  • Professional mentoring sessions with industry leaders
  • Circulation on specialized channels and allied festivals worldwide

Cultural and educational impact

This initiative consolidates itself as a space for collective reflection that uses cinematographic language to raise awareness about the responsible management of natural resources. The visual narratives presented seek to transform perceptions and foster constructive dialogues about contemporary environmental challenges, positioning cinema as a tool for social change in the face of the climate crisis ✨
