Cine Callejero: Narrativas del Borde Sur (2)

Festival start: 27 September 2025      Festival end: 05 October 2025

A non-competitive showcase of community cinema and independent audiovisual work

Street Cinema is a traveling outdoor film screening series held in community-based, alternative, and publicly accessible spaces. The initiative aims to bring cinema and audiovisual creation to territories that have been historically excluded from traditional cultural circuits.

In its first edition, the showcase focused on the theme “Stories from the Southern Edge,” featuring local narratives, neighborhood memories, and voices from the periphery. The second edition explores narratives around transportation, reflecting on movement, transit, and the daily experience of living in the south.

The call is open to:

Community filmmakers

Audiovisual collectives

Individuals who create videos spontaneously as tools for storytelling, memory, or social reflection.

Street Cinema fosters filmmaking from and for the community, creating spaces for gathering, conversation, and reclaiming public space through the moving image.

Selected works will become part of the Street Cinema Network, allowing them to be screened in both rural and urban settings, reaching a broad and diverse audience from different contexts and geographies.

This recognition aims to amplify territorial voices, memories, and narratives beyond their place of origin, promoting community-based, free, and decentralized circulation.
