Unlike other film festivals in Brazil, its curators highlight cinema as a tool for self-knowledge, personal development and social transformation. It has featured renowned filmmakers such as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Geraldo Sarno, among others. In 2025, we are celebrating the Festival's 10th anniversary with the theme: MENTAL HEALTH AND TRANSCENDENCE.

We live in times of conflict, intolerance and indifference to others. Faced with this, we reaffirm our commitment to resist and promote increasingly conscious actions. We believe that the world harbours an infinite wealth of beauty - in art, spirituality, solidarity and human respect. From virtuous exceptionality to the sacralisation of everyday life, it is this light that we want to project at our Festival.
