The International Community Film Festival Historias en Kilómetros (FICC HEK) - SOUTH TO SOUTH, celebrates its second edition in 2025 claiming community cinema as a space for meeting, creation and audiovisual resistance. Under the slogan “A Party to Believe Again” this festival seeks to amplify the voices of communities in the Global South, making visible stories of struggle, resilience and peace building. In this edition, we focus on art and culture as drivers of change, social leadership in the defense of the territory, the peasantry as a political subject and promoter of peace, and education as a pillar for social, environmental and gender justice.
