PSSST! is a unique film festival presenting the art of silent film in a new, exciting and entertaining way. This Festival is a rare gem on the cultural scene which lacks initiatives offering artists the opportunity to try out their skills in this specific (and demanding!) artistic form.

For thousands of Mexican girls and boys in vulnerable situations, this question has no answer. For this reason, and for them, the Churumbela Children's Film Festival was created, inviting all children of Mexico, Spanish speakers, and speakers of other languages to experience cinema in an inclusive, playful, and entertaining environment.

It brings cinema closer to all children, with a special focus on girls and boys in vulnerable situations, people with disabilities, and families from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Through accessible and inclusive programming, the festival promotes film as [...]

The Visualízame festival began in 2011.

Organized by Fundación Inquietarte, the main objective of Visualízame is to serve as a platform for the dissemination of cinematographic works in which women participate in the direction, script and/or production.

Likewise, serve as a dissemination platform for short films that promote equality, in addition to respect for Human Rights. That is why we have two special awards for short films committed to the 2030 agenda of Sustainable Development Goals, and films whose plot addresses the topic of death and mourning.
