The Baixada Film Festival is more than a festival – it is a territory of cinema that turns the city of Pinheiro, Maranhão (Brazil) into a stage for the seventh art. The festival promotes access to audiovisual culture, strengthens local productions, and connects the Baixada region with national and international cinema.

Its 2nd edition will take place from November 19 to 21, 2025, featuring competitive screenings of short films, medium-length films, and music videos, as well as parallel screenings dedicated to films from Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Africa, and Maranhão. The program also includes workshops, online training, and screenings in public schools and communities, fostering education and audience engagement.

Rather unusual, rather trapped on the border between dream and reality, silent film has for several years found affirmation at the PSSST! Silent Film Festival organised by the Trešnjevka Cultural Centre.

The event confirms its status as a festival in the classic sense of the word through its competition programme in which contemporary “silent” titles are screened to an audience. The best film in the competition is awarded the Brcko Grand Prize, the official award of PSSST! named after the main [...]
