International Showcase
The selection of the traditional International Program brings together 57 short films from 38 countries, with stories, perspectives, and cinematic languages from around the world.
For this edition, we have organized the films like a meal: each program offers a unique experience, with different rhythms, flavors, and combinations. Like a good meal, films gain new meanings when they are shared.
The appetizer is a time for conversation and connection. The starter opens pathways to transformation. The rice and beans speak of everyday life and what endures. The main course invites a closer look. The side dish celebrates bonds, affection, and solidarity. The sauce transforms the flavors. The wine toasts to celebration. Dessert awakens the senses and the imagination.
Then comes the coffee: a pause for memory, reflection, and dreams. And, inevitably, the bill arrives: a moment to reflect on what remains.
This is the vision behind the program: to bring distant worlds closer together and reveal the richness of cinema.
