Ficumsa - 3° Festival Internacional De Cine U.m.s.a. ()

Festival start: 02 September 2024      Festival end: 14 September 2024

"Visions of Destruction" encompasses an artistic representation and exploration of destructive processes, whether tangible or abstract. This perspective is manifested through various creative forms of audiovisual art, where narratives, images, or concepts related to decomposition, decay, collapse, or ruin are explored. These expressions may stem from personal reflections, social critiques, or simply aim to convey the complexities and fragilities inherent in human existence and the environment. "Visions of Destruction" invites the audience to reflect on the transience of things, providing a space to express concerns, warnings, or simply to aesthetically explore destruction.
