Início do Festival: 27 Julho 2025      Fim do Festival: 27 Julho 2025

Ecos Shorts Festival was born as a meeting space for filmmakers, producers, and film enthusiasts, with the aim of strengthening the love for the seventh art and showcasing works of great creative value both nationally and internationally. This event celebrates the magic of cinema by exploring powerful narratives and offering a unique platform for the recognition of both emerging and established talent.

We seek to recognize cinema as a narrative and artistic tool that inspires, moves, and connects audiences, while also enhancing the aesthetic and technical quality of the short film format.
