Festival ECRÃ

Logo of Festival ECRÃ

FESTIVAL ECRÃ is an Experimental Art and Cinema event that, through experiences that question the notion and production of the moving image, seeks to stimulate audiovisual culture. By showing Films, Games, Installations and Videoarts, ECRÃ encourages new formats for the production and exhibition of these works.

This project arose in 2016 from the desire to question the film industry and its “primordial elements” and to give space for filmmakers and artists to experiment freely in audiovisual production and thinking.

Over the years we have works from all parts of the world and presence of names like James Benning, Luis Grané, Ken Jacobs, Paula Gaitán, Julio Bressane, Luiz Rosemberg Filho, Seyeong Yoon, Gastón Solnicki, Geraldo Sarno, among others veterenas and new creators.

At eighteen, Cabriolet reaches a moment of transition—a point where “DREAMS” are no longer distant ideas but real possibilities. Like anyone coming of age, the festival carries the desire to explore, the courage to imagine freely, and the honesty of facing the unknown.

Eighteen is the moment when dreams stop being whispered secrets and become declarations of identity. It is a time charged with energy, restlessness, and hope. A time [...]
