Migration in Transit is a global festival that harnesses the power of cinema to delve into the complexities of migration, fostering empathy, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue. This event addresses multiple dimensions of human mobility, including:
Internal and International Migration: Movements of people within a country or across international borders in search of better opportunities or living conditions.
Refugees and Asylum Seekers: Individuals fleeing persecution, conflict, or human rights violations who seek protection in other countries.
Internally Displaced Persons: Those forced to leave their homes due to conflict, natural disasters, or violence but remain within their country’s borders.
Forced Migration: Displacements driven by war, persecution, economic crises, or climate disasters.
Migration, Environment, and Climate Change: Stories highlighting how environmental degradation, desertification, and extreme weather events compel people to leave their homes.
With its main hub in Peru (Piura, Trujillo, Moquegua, Lima) and international screenings in Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States, the festival celebrates the stories of individuals embarking on a journey in search of a better future.
The festival invites filmmakers, students, and media artists from around the world to participate by presenting documentaries, fiction films, animations, music videos, and short films that depict migratory experiences from diverse perspectives.
