Miradas Medellín - Film and Audiovisual Arts Festival is organized by Secretaría de Cultura Ciudadana of Medellín (Colombia). Its main objective is to bring Colombian and Latin American film production and other audiovisual expressions to the city's audiences, offering diverse exhibition, training and meeting experiences. It is also committed to promote and generate dynamics around the appreciation, dissemination and distribution that strengthen the audiovisual and film industry in the country. Through its programming, the festival seeks to be a point of convergence of multiple views on reality and contemporary and innovative formats that work with the moving image, focusing on the perspective of filmmakers from Colombia and Latin American countries.
For the Selection of Colombian Films, a jury of professionals from the Colombian and international audiovisual sector will award Best Feature Film and Best Short Film, and those attending the screenings of the selected films will vote for the Audience's Favorite.
