Desde la costa hasta la selva, desde las grandes ciudades hasta los territorios rurales, "Relatos Nacionales" reúne una muestra diversa del cortometraje colombiano actual. Son historias que revelan las múltiples caras de nuestro país: sus contrastes, sus heridas, su belleza y su infinita capacidad de reinventarse.
En esta selección convergen miradas jóvenes y consolidadas que, a través del lenguaje cinematográfico, exploran problemáticas sociales, memorias colectivas, imaginarios populares y expresiones culturales que conforman el alma de Colombia.
"Relatos Nacionales" es una invitación a recorrer el país a través de su cine, a reconocernos en otras voces, a abrir los ojos a nuevas perspectivas, y a celebrar el poder narrativo que emerge desde todos los rincones del territorio.

Esta sección rinde homenaje a las voces, rostros y paisajes del suroccidente colombiano. "Miradas Regionales" reúne cortometrajes o series creados por realizadores del Cauca y departamentos vecinos, quienes desde sus territorios cuentan historias íntimas, cotidianas y profundamente conectadas con la identidad local.
Es una invitación a vernos desde adentro: a reconocer la riqueza cultural, la diversidad étnica, las luchas sociales y los sueños colectivos que habitan nuestras montañas, veredas y ciudades. Aquí, el cine se convierte en una herramienta de memoria, resistencia y creación comunitaria.
"Miradas Regionales" no es solo una muestra geográfica, sino un espacio para descubrir cómo se transforma el lenguaje audiovisual cuando nace desde las raíces.

Desde los Andes hasta la Patagonia, del Caribe a la Península Ibérica, "Vientos del Sur" trae consigo un soplo de historias que cruzan fronteras y lenguas, pero que comparten un mismo pulso: el de nuestra Iberoamérica diversa, creativa y profundamente humana.
Esta selección reúne cortometrajes de distintos rincones del mundo iberoamericano, en los que convergen las voces de cineastas que, desde sus territorios, nos invitan a mirar otras realidades, a sentir otros acentos y a compartir emociones universales.
"Vientos del Sur" es un encuentro de culturas hermanas a través del cine: un puente entre lo local y lo global, entre lo íntimo y lo colectivo. Una travesía por imágenes que dialogan con nuestras propias luchas, sueños y formas de habitar el mundo.
