Festival du film d'éducation à la vie affective et sexuelle - FFEVAS

The Amiens Film Festival for Affective and Sexual Education (FFEVAS) showcases committed short films that explore affective, relational, and sexual life through an educational, inclusive, and egalitarian lens. The selected films must provide a reflection on contemporary issues related to human relationships, sexuality, and power dynamics, while offering a sensitive and artistic approach.

The themes addressed should align with a perspective of equality and respect. Emphasis is placed on the representation of gender identities and sexual orientations, promoting inclusive narratives that move away from heteronormative and patriarchal norms. The notion of consent must be central, whether it involves educating individuals on recognizing personal boundaries, exploring questions of desire and mutual respect, or deconstructing myths related to domination in relationships.

One of the festival’s objectives is also to promote an egalitarian approach to pleasure by questioning traditional representations of sexuality and encouraging a vision in which everyone can thrive in a free and respectful environment. Films should move away from sexist clichés and propose narratives that highlight balanced and violence-free relationships. The fight against gender-based and sexual violence is at the heart of this program, with a strong commitment to amplifying the voices of experiences, survivors, and prevention and awareness initiatives.

Submitted short films may include fiction, documentaries, animated films, or music videos.

An educational and critical approach is essential. The selected works must offer nuanced and engaged perspectives while avoiding the reproduction of stereotypes or discrimination. Cinema, as a powerful tool for awareness, should serve as a platform for progressive values, fostering dialogue and consciousness on topics that are often overlooked in mainstream discourse.

Traduis ça en anglais: Le Festival du Film d’Éducation à la Vie Affective et Sexuelle d’Amiens (FFEVAS) met à l’honneur des courts-métrages engagés qui explorent la vie affective, relationnelle et sexuelle sous un prisme éducatif, inclusif et égalitaire. Les films sélectionnés doivent offrir une réflexion sur les enjeux contemporains liés aux relations humaines, à la sexualité et aux dynamiques de pouvoir, tout en proposant une approche sensible et artistique.

Les thématiques abordées doivent s’inscrire dans une perspective d’égalité et de respect. L’accent est mis sur la représentation de la diversité des identités de genre et des orientations sexuelles, afin de valoriser des récits inclusifs et éloignés des normes hétéronormatives et patriarcales. La notion de consentement doit être centrale, qu’il s’agisse d’éduquer à la reconnaissance des limites individuelles, d’explorer les questions du désir et du respect mutuel, ou de déconstruire les mythes liés aux relations de domination.

L’un des objectifs du festival est également de promouvoir une approche égalitaire du plaisir, en questionnant les représentations traditionnelles de la sexualité et en encourageant une vision où chacun·e peut s’épanouir dans un cadre libre et bienveillant. Les films doivent ainsi s’éloigner des clichés sexistes et proposer des narrations qui valorisent des rapports équilibrés et exempts de violences. La lutte contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles est au cœur de cette programmation, avec la volonté de donner une voix aux expériences, aux survivant·es et aux initiatives de prévention et de sensibilisation.

Les courts-métrages soumis peuvent être des fictions, des documentaires, des films d’animation ou encore des clips vidéo.

L’approche éducative et critique est essentielle. Les œuvres doivent offrir des perspectives nuancées et engagées, en évitant toute reproduction de stéréotypes ou de discriminations. Le cinéma étant un puissant outil de sensibilisation, les films sélectionnés doivent être porteurs de valeurs progressistes, capables de susciter l’échange et la prise de conscience sur des sujets souvent absents des discours traditionnels.
