AIM

Our main objective is to promote cultural wealth through cinema and the art of short films, recognizing them as powerful means of audiovisual expression. We are committed to actively promoting their value and reach, not only as forms of entertainment, but also as tools for reflection, dialogue, and exploration of diverse realities and perspectives.

By offering a platform for the exhibition of these works, we aim to nurture and enrich the cultural landscape, providing a space where talented filmmakers can share their creative visions and provoke emotions, reflections and debates in the public.

In addition to promoting the recognition of artists and their work, our festival seeks to expand access to film culture, bringing these works closer to the public and fostering greater understanding and appreciation for audiovisual art in all its forms.

In short, our festival is not just about showing films, but about opening doors to new experiences, ideas and conversations that enrich our understanding of the world around us and strengthen the cultural fabric of our society.
