Hysterical Film Fest is an online exhibition, a cinematographic movement that collects excellent audiovisual projects, like short films, feature films and video clips.

Our goal is to contribute the national and international industry in the development of young filmmakers and make visible those films that, for some reason, have not been given the chance of projection, therefore, if a project is not selected, its entry will be free.
