Ecos Shorts Festival was born as a meeting space for filmmakers, producers, and cinema enthusiasts, with the aim of strengthening the love for the seventh art and promoting works of great creative value on both national and international levels. This event celebrates the magic of cinema, exploring powerful narratives and offering a unique platform for recognizing emerging and established talent.

We seek to acknowledge cinema as a narrative and artistic tool that inspires, moves, and connects audiences, while also elevating the aesthetic and technical quality of the short film format.

Through these stories, we invite the audience to think about the relationship between humans and their environment, fostering greater awareness of the need to care for and protect our natural world.
