Cusco WebFest is the first international festival from the Andean Mountains that gives voice to national and international digital content creators.
We believe in new media as a democratic tool to empower the communities from our territories, focusing with special attention on the Andean community but also open to the rest of the world within a vision of connection between peoples. (Subminting to our festival you are giving a 5% of your fee to charity).
Three principal categories: national; to empower digital content with a social impact, latinamerican; to connect with South American creatives, international; to open Andean culture to the rest of the world.
Our festival is looking to screen all genres of series and to give support to digital works that make a difference.
