A cultural and artistic event where filmmakers can exchange experiences and connect with colleagues and audiences from different cultures around the world.The Festival provides a unique opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their innovative artistic and narrative proposal, which also represents a commitment to their environment and a passion for cinema.

Diversity of views, heterogeneity of thought and creative risk are welcome at our Festival. Every look is political. Every look is moral. And there's nothing like cinema to express it. Views of the World is looking for films that raise more questions than answers. Let them excite. That they call for reflection. Let them be unsettling. That awaken fantasies. Let them make you dream. Don't settle. Let them take risks. That they are passionate and propose different views of the world and cinema. We are proud to host an event designed to bring audiences and filmmakers together in an environment where enthusiastic discussions, collaboration and solidarity can flourish in a fraternal and creative environment.

Because culture unites us and stories tell us.
