MIRANCHURITO FEST 2027 — Stories Beyond Borders, Cinema That Connects Communities
Pupiales, Nariño, Colombia | International Short Film Festival
Some stories begin in a small town and end up speaking to the world. Others travel from distant places and find a new way to be heard within a community.
MIRANCHURITO FEST was created to celebrate that encounter.
Based in Pupiales, Nariño, Colombia, our International Film Festival welcomes independent filmmakers, emerging talents, and creative voices from around the world who use cinema to explore identity, question reality, move audiences, and change the way we see one another.
We are looking for films with something to say. Stories that surprise us through their perspective, sensitivity, visual language, or ability to bring us closer to different realities. Whether you are taking your first steps in filmmaking or continuing an established creative journey, we want to discover new voices and celebrate the many ways stories can be told.
A Space for New Perspectives
MIRANCHURITO FEST welcomes fiction, documentary, and animation short films, with national and international categories and distinctions for debut works. We invite filmmakers exploring personal, social, experimental, cultural, and fantastic worlds, as well as those pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.
We believe cinema does not end when the credits roll. It lives on in the conversations it inspires, the people it brings together, and the questions it leaves behind.
The Papialpa Statuette: Recognition with Identity
The Papialpa Statuette is the distinctive symbol of MIRANCHURITO FEST. It represents the festival’s commitment to authentic stories, creativity, and the value of voices that deserve to be heard.
Winning films will receive the award corresponding to their category and official festival recognition. Participants will receive a certificate of participation, subject to the terms of the call for entries.
Participation is about more than competing for an award. It is an opportunity to share your work with a cultural initiative seeking to bring cinema closer to the community and recognize the diversity of the people who make it possible.
