Festival description (Edition: 2)

Festival start: 21 November 2025 Festival end: 24 November 2025

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.

Rules

These guidelines are subject to the official regulations of the Colombian Urban Art Film Festival (CUAFF). Please read this document carefully to understand the purpose of each section and the essential requirements to be eligible for the official selection.

The Colombian Urban Art Film Festival is an independent event accredited by the Cinemateca de Bogotá, dedicated to promoting, disseminating, and showcasing films that emerge from urban aesthetics, street art, and narratives that explore the city as a living territory of expression, conflict, and resistance.
