The 4th International Diverse Film Festival marks a new chapter in the artistic and curatorial evolution of the festival. Under the concept “Revealed Memory,” this edition explores cinema as a living archive capable of preserving stories, identities, emotions, and experiences that have shaped the ways we understand diversity.

Rather than defining the selection criteria, “Revealed Memory” serves as the curatorial framework that inspires this year’s festival. We welcome fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, and hybrid short films that explore the diverse experiences, perspectives, and narratives of LGBTQIA+ communities across a wide range of genres, styles, and artistic approaches.

From November 4–7, 2026, Barranquilla, Colombia, will once again become a meeting point [...]
