The Maratona Cinematográfica Abril Claquete is a film festival held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, that challenges participants to produce short films within 84 hours. The event, which includes both amateur and professional categories, aims to promote independent cinema and engage the local community in cinematic production. Teams receive a theme at the opening ceremony and must create a short film of up to four minutes, with winners announced at a closing event. The festival distributes cash prizes and is supported by local cultural institutions and national funding.
