Début du Festival: 06 décembre 2025      Fin du Festival: 13 décembre 2025

“Cinema that Interrupts Silences”

The 5th Puno Film Festival – Hanan Cinema is organized and promoted by the Cultural Association Puno Audiovisual, an initiative that seeks to strengthen and diversify film production in the Puno region and throughout the country, while establishing bonds with sister nations of South and Central America.

In this fifth edition, the festival is held under the theme “Cinema that Interrupts Silences”, an invitation to recognize cinema as a space of expression that questions absences, reveals denied memories, and gives voice to territories, bodies, and communities historically silenced.

From the south of Peru, Hanan Cinema reaffirms its commitment to a cinema that listens, dialogues, and transforms.

The festival will take place from December 6 to 13, 2025, at Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. It will be an in-person event, complemented by virtual activities that will allow participation from audiences across the globe.
Hanan Cinema continues to consolidate itself as a meeting space for filmmakers, critics, programmers, audiences, and communities, reaffirming that cinema is, above all, a collective creation.
