Colombian Urban Art Film Festival (CUAFF) is an independent film festival based in Bogotá, Colombia. We spotlight bold, raw, and vibrant cinematic works that capture the spirit of the streets — exploring urban art, hip hop, identity, resistance, and the pulse of unsanctioned expression.
We are especially drawn to stories that emerge from the underground — train yards, rooftops, and city walls — where creativity exists outside the lines. Our mission is to amplify the voices of filmmakers who see the street as a living canvas and cinema as a tool for disruption and truth. We welcome short films, documentaries, experimental pieces, and hybrid formats that break boundaries and provoke thought.
The Poniente de Granada International Film Festival is a cultural initiative produced and organized by Libertonia Producciones, a company dedicated to the development, production, promotion, exhibition, and distribution of audiovisual content.
An international platform dedicated to the exhibition, promotion, training, and circulation of independent cinema. Its mission is to champion new cinematic voices, strengthen the independent audiovisual ecosystem, and create opportunities for connection among filmmakers, the industry, cultural institutions, and audiences.

Prokuplje Short Film Festival, founded in 2011, is the youngest film festival in Serbia. In Prokplje is event where audience can see the best from the field of documentary, experimental, animated and fiction from around the world. Thousands of films from all over the world arrive at the festival's address, and it has been reflected by the numerous audiences in Prokuplje, but also in other cities in Serbia and the region,because the team organizes Tour in which the best films are presented in over 30 cities. The lack of the Cinema, as well as the lack of a movie as a subject at school, prevents young people from learning about this art.
In order to see something of this content, the young people must go to Nis, or even to Belgrade. This is an opportunity to see the latest short film achievements from all around the world in Prokuplje. In recent years, according to research, there is a decline in audience attendance at the festivals all over the world. So because of that and because of the introduction of the film to young people, we brought the work with them, in all primary and secondary schools, which are potential audiences and will be animated by the presentation of festival films and the discussion on the significance of the Festival. In addition to work with young people in Prokuplje,the Film Club Prokuplje is the first to start animating the audience from the rural areas, which are completely excluded from all events, especially cultural events.
Want to know what an audience really thinks of your film? Come and test your short at CAST.
The concept? We turn the movie theater into an interactive experience. Through our app, the audience interacts with your film and debates it with you.
During the screening, we collect all the audience data and put together a detailed report for you on how the room received your film.
