CINETORO EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL (13)

Festival start: 27 October 2020      Festival end: 01 November 2020

Our Filmfestival is the pioneering space, in the exhibition of experimental content in cinema, which seeks to show excellence and innovation in the independent production of the film world. Celebrate aesthetic diversity, new narratives, and new media and formats; a program that reveals the complexity of social, cultural and artistic phenomena. We understand "experimental cinema, like cinema that originates from the visual arts". A divergent cinema, that vanishes the boundaries with art, emphasizing the experimental modes of creation; enhancing the alternative creative processes that prefer beauty to business, language to industry, the aesthetic importance to the number of spectators and the formation of the public to the show.
We are open to new forms, new media, audiovisual formats, and avant-garde: experimental, video art, found footage, fiction, documentary, animation, and documentary.

We accept works with challenging and diverse content, but we do not support misogynistic, sexist, racist, classist and homophobic works in any of their forms.

Awards & Prizes
Grand Prix: SANTORO statuette. Dynamic sculpture created by the master Carlos Santa, which symbolizes experimentation as a constantly evolving creative act.
