Festival Internacional De Cine Prisma - FICPRISMA ()

Festival start: 22 October 2021      Festival end: 25 October 2021

Festival Internacional de Cine PRISMA (FICPRISMA) is an LGBTIQ+ film festival based in Colombia. After a first edition held as a screening showroom, FICPRISMA consolidates as an international Festival to welcome short and feature films (fiction, animation, documentary and experimental), from Colombia, Latin America and the World, while developing diverse academic activities, and extending the discussion to other arts such as photography and direct artistic intervention through performance.

In this second edition FICPRISMA will focus its content on Activism and Resistance.

Given the current situation and regulations in Colombia due to COVID 19, the Festival will be held in a hybrid format that combines on-site and virtual exhibition of the selected films.
