TXI Catalunya Festival of Short Films for Identity-Catalunya's blog

The Festival will take place in Barcelona, on December 3, 4 and 5, 2012, in Casa America Catalunya, It will bring together short films dealing with identity robbery, its recognition and recovery, and the personal and social consequences. The Creators for Identity and Memory Association (ACIM) promotes activities that denounce the robbery of identity, mainly when it affects children. It is closely related with the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo Association. Its members organized de three cycles of Theater for Identity-Catalunya. Children abduction and forged identity were a systematic policy during both the last Argentine military dictatorship, Spanish Franco’s regime and other “the facto” governments. ACIM considers that stolen identities should be restablished as this is an inherent human right.
