The MOV on its fifth edition tries to give students a space on a bottlenecked exhibition market. Seeking to acknowledge and giving voice to the dialogue between academic production from different countries, the festival promotes the student aspect of the cinematographic activity to those who make cinema and those who watch it.

In order to come this all true, many hands made and are still making MOV. The spirit of collective realization make us move to begin a new moment of the cinema made by students. Sponsored by Fundarpe and the Pernambuco Government and collaboration of many supporters we received in our way, the festival comes again in 2022 aspiring long life.
