XVIII International Audiovisual Festival for Children and Adolescents Kolibrí
18 years promoting quality audiovisuals for children and adolescents in Bolivia
The audiovisual production company Nicobis celebrates eighteen years of life of the Kolibrí International Audiovisual Festival for Children and Adolescents, which will be held from October 2 to 10, 2024 in 5 Departments of Bolivia.

The Festival seeks to form audiovisual literates, boys, girls and adolescents capable of reading the image, understanding it and being critical of what they consume and therefore of their own reality. All this through quality children's production samples and audiovisual training workshops, so that children and adolescents are able to make their own audiovisuals and form their own criteria.

In the same way, it seeks to create a national and international network of educational audiovisual dissemination, to know and disseminate quality production from various countries and continents aimed at children and adolescents.
