Esto Es Para Esto - Exhibidora de Cine ()

Festival Start: 01 Mai 2023      Festival Ende: 10 Juni 2023

Call for Entries

Esto Es Para Esto is a cinema collective group dedicated to independent cinema screening, spreading and film discussion, based in Monterrey City, México.

We seek for different forms of cinema, transcending media’s conventions and traditions that challenge the established. Cinematographic mirages, audiovisual delirium, dreams in motion, video-mutations, images and sound that travel through blood and brain cells to the screen, without format, duration or genre prejudices at all. We want to share your delirious audiovisions, pour them into the receptacle of light and discuss what might detonate in the minds of those who observe and listen.

Selection

The official selection will be programmed by Esto Es Para Esto’s team in our festival EIC 2023 special screenings, online screenings and/or in one or more later screenings, during Esto Es Para Esto’s - Exhibition of Cine screening activities.

Exact date will be confirmed and the Official Selection will be published in our social media.
