Festival de Cine Independiente Laberinto (4)

Фестиваль начинается: 14 Ноябрь 2024      Фестиваль заканчивается: 17 Ноябрь 2024

Only for Colombian Film-makers. FESTIVAL LABERINTO is a film festival for those who live and breath cinema, wether as film critics, productors or cinephiles. We want to build new possibilities for audiovisual arts in general, so the inherent diversity of our ideas and sensibilities can be expressed. Open social environments are required to reach the objectives of this festival; our purpose is to create such environments, especially in Boyacá, and potentially in the rest of the country. Coming from a formative, divulgative and creative standpoint, we extend an invitation to all of the people interested in filmaking.

We want you to put your imagination in motion.

Bolder and more complex ways of living and exploring cinema are just around the corner. We would like to explore those new possibilities with you. Those who are interested in our event will be able to submit their work in the folllowing open calls.
