La Guarimba International Film Festival is a cultural association and an annual international film festival that takes place in Amantea (Calabria). The festival showcases short films from all over the world, divided into the following categories: Fiction, Animation, Documentary, Insomnia, Music Video and La Grotta dei Piccoli, a selection of children's films.[1][2][3]
La Guarimba was created in 2012 by a group of friends who sought to reopen the only cinema in the small town of Amantea, located in southern Italy.
La Guarimba aims to promote values of participatory democracy, integration, human rights and accessibility.[4][5][6] The association’s motto is "Bringing the cinema back to the people and the people back to the cinema."[7]
History
[edit]In 2012, the artistic director of La Guarimba, Giulio Vita, returned to his hometown, Amantea, together with the illustrator Sara Fratini. They planned to create an international short film festival that would open up a space for emerging names from the world of cinema.[8][9] However, all the cinemas in Amantea had been closed due to low attendance. Thus, following an agreement, the Arena Sicoli, a former open-air cinema, with 938 seats and abandoned for more than two years, was restored.
In four months and with the help of Amantea's community, the Sicoli family as well as external collaborators, Giulio Vita and Sara Fratini cleaned and renovated the space, making it once again accessible and functional.[10] Young people from Italy and the rest of the world joined the project and worked on the relaunch of the Arena Sicoli, finally reopened for the first edition of the festival in August 2013.[11]
For the second edition, the cinema concession was not renewed. Therefore, the festival took place in the "La Grotta" natural park in Amantea, succeeding in maintaining the original spirit of the open-air cinema.[12]
In 2020, on the occasion of the eighth edition, the Audience Award for the best short film in competition was dedicated to Vitaliano Camarca, creator of the historic Program "Film Mediterraneo" in Amantea.
In 2021, the association purchased land in the center of Amantea to build a space dedicated to culture and events open to the community.
Organizers
[edit]The founders of the festival are Giulio Vita, Sara Fratini, Pablo Cristóbal and Alicia Victoria Palacios Thomas, two members of the Spanish film collective El tornillo de Klaus, bringing together independent artists and audiovisual critics.[13] The idea for the festival was born in Madrid, where Giulio Vita studied cinema, and Sara Fratini - Fine Arts. There they met members of the El Tornillo de Klaus collective and worked together for the launch and the development of La Guarimba International Film Festival.[14]
The association's team is made up of young people aged between 20 and 30, from all over the world, who collaborate to organize the festival as well as various events during the rest of the year.
Etymology of the name
[edit]Guarimba, in the Venezuelan indigenous language, means "safe place".
This word has a hybrid etymology since the root guari-, from the German Warjgan, means to take refuge or to hide, as well as the Spanish derivative guarida, even though the last one has developed a negative meaning of "refuge of beasts or wild animals" and, by extension, of criminals or people with bad reputations. Concerning the ending -imba, it is formed from "guarida".
Logo
[edit]The official logo was created by the Spanish artist Mikel Murillo and depicts a gorilla with a hand above its head. The official colors of the festival are white, green and grey. This image serves as a reference for the artist's exhibition.
The jury of the festival
[edit]The jury of the festival is represented by directors, journalists and international critics. The idea of the organization is to promote, through the jury, young personalities of independent cinema. Some of the members of the jury, among others, have been the Spanish director and actor Nacho Vigalondo, the host Juan Pablo Zaramella, director of Luminaris, winner of the Academy Awards for the best short animated film in 2011,[15] Sam Morrill, editor for Vimeo, as well as Jude Dry, reporter for IndieWire.
Illustration exhibition
[edit]For each edition of the festival, Sara Fratini organizes a poster exhibition called "Artists for La Guarimba". The posters are made each year by several international artists, who interpret the official festival poster in their own style. The exhibition is open during the festival and also in different places of the tour.[16]
Some of the posters made have won awards and the recognition of AI American Illustration, such as Meredith Jansen's in 2020[17] and Natalya Balnova in 2015.[18]
Among the artists who made posters for the festival are Jean Jullien, Sawako Kabuki, Egle Zvirblyte, Juan Pablo Zaramella, Elisa Macellari, Antoine Lopez (founder of the Clermont-Ferrand festival), Hannah Jacobs, Cécile Dormeau, Thomas Wellmann, Amélie Fontaine, Laurina Paperina, Powerpaola, Joe Murray, David De Las Heras, Adolfo Serra, Alberto Montt, Liniers, Angela Dalinger, Joe Ciardiello, Rayma.

In February 2020, the municipality of Amantea is dissolved due to fraud and mafia infiltration.[35] This causes the closure of La Grotta Park throughout the year.

Due to the collapse of a rocky ridge in the historic center of Amantea, which made the Parco La Grotta[38] unusable, the festival had to change location.

Legal battles
[edit]Conflict between open air summer festivals and distributors
[edit]During the preparation of the eighth edition of the festival, La Guarimba is involved in a complaint[42] against the professional associations of distributors and film directors, Anica and Anec, who had given "written indications to Italian and foreign distributors not to not grant licenses for the screening of films in free entry on Italian territory, which resulted in 235 denied permits out of 263 applications for screening permits, although the films have completed their period of commercial exploitation in theatres ", as indicated during the parliamentary question of June 18, 2020.[43] On June 24, 2020, the authority overseeing competition law opened a preliminary investigation against Anica, Anec and Anec Lazio for "obstacles for the concession of films to the open-air free cinemas ".[44]
In order to guarantee the continuity of the provision of a free service to the community aimed at promoting film culture in the territory, parliamentarians Lorenzo Fioramonti, Andrea Cecconi, Matteo Orfini, Nicola Fratoianni, Alessandro Fusacchia, Flavia Piccoli Nardelli and Paolo Lattanzio have asked the Ministry of Culture to monitor the action of complaint involving La Guarimba International Film Festival together with other Italian associations. The parliamentarians acknowledged the significant role played by the associations mentioned in the case on cultural and social level, which "allow citizens from all social classes to have access to culture, with the aim of give a new market value to dated or independent works and contribute to the creation of a film education ". Additionally, they guaranteed psychological and social support and acting as a motor of cultural offer in an emergency period during which Italy has been particularly affected.
It was underlined that "the films have already concluded their period of commercial exploitation in the cinemas, in free-to-air television, in paid television, in streaming and on DVD and do not include titles present on the market in the current film season ", thus contesting the indications of Anica and Anec who, in the past, did not grant licenses for the screenings during free film event on the Italian territory, thus affecting negatively the free service offered by cultural associations and encouraging organizers to consider the possibility of payment for citizens.[43][45][46]
The case of Abbas Nadeem
[edit]In July 2020, shortly before the festival, La Guarimba denounced to the press a case of racism suffered by Abbas Mian Nadeem,[47] a young Pakistani immunosuppressed who ended up among the migrants expelled from Amantea by mistake because of a positive Covid test, and who also received threats from the 'Ndrangheta (Calabrian mafia).[48] The association worked with the authorities to allow his return to Amantea, helping him to find legal assistance, in particular thanks to the involvement of Italian and European deputies which shed light on the case.[49]
Position in favor of Ukraine
[edit]The festival took a clear stand in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, through several actions. All Ukrainian filmmakers have been granted an exemption from paying registration for the festival, with the creation of the special program Sláva Ukryíni!. All producers, directors and distributors who expressed clear positions in favor of Putin were excluded, while Russian directors who took a public stand against the invasion were selected. The festival organized the screening of the documentary The Earth is Blue as an Orange, directed by Iryna Tsilyk, winner of the Director's Award in the "World Cinema Documentary" category at the Sundance Film Festival 2020.
The Monkey's School
[edit]In 2014, the cultural association La Guarimba wins a public tender from the Apulia region which allows it to create The Monkey's School (Scuola Delle Scimmie). It is the first accessible independent film and illustration school based on the Montessori model of participatory democracy. During the month of September 2014, La Guarimba creates a workshop with 45 young people on the subjects of illustration and cinema.[50]
On tour
[edit]After each edition, La Guarimba organizes a tour during which the films in competition are presented in different places.
In 2013, the festival participates in the fourth edition of Pane, Web e Salame as the first Calabrian representative of the event.[51]
As part of the sixth edition of the Workshop on Social Enterprise, held in Riva del Garda in 2013, Giulio Vita is invited to speak about the impact that the reopening of the Arena Sicoli has had on the community of Amantea during the festival.[52]
In September 2013, La Guarimba is invited by the Cultural Association La Scheggia to participate in the Cinema Beltrade film cycle. The award-winning short films in the first edition are screened there, accompanied by a speech by the director of the winning documentary short, Benedetta Panisson.[53]
