This festival invites you to play, combine images, choose and find new meanings.
Discover universes that hybridize and monsters that inhabit each other, in absolute freedom. This festival will be as brutal as it is extraordinary.
The festival formed a platform for independent cinema by nature, and emerged among the cultural events in the country to present cinematic trends and identities from all over the world, to resist, innovate and surprise with unique experiences. For being original, pioneering, independent, risk-taking and above all: for managing to reinforce our unique seal of quality.
