“Cinema that Interrupts Silences”
The 5th Puno Film Festival – Hanan Cinema is organized and promoted by the Cultural Association Puno Audiovisual, an initiative that seeks to strengthen and diversify film production in the Puno region and throughout the country, while establishing bonds with sister nations of South and Central America.
In this fifth edition, the festival is held under the theme “Cinema that Interrupts Silences”, an invitation to recognize cinema as a space of expression that questions absences, reveals denied memories, and gives voice to territories, bodies, and communities historically silenced.
From the south of Peru, Hanan Cinema reaffirms its commitment to a cinema that listens, dialogues, and transforms.
The festival will take place from December 6 to 13, 2025, at Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. It will be an in-person event, complemented by virtual activities that will allow participation from audiences across the globe.
Hanan Cinema continues to consolidate itself as a meeting space for filmmakers, critics, programmers, audiences, and communities, reaffirming that cinema is, above all, a collective creation.
Among the peaks that stand out against the sky and the deep silence of the valleys that preserve ancient stories, “Alte Visioni│Erto Film Festival” is born. It 's not just a film festival but a bridge of light and images thrown between the past and the future, between the memory and resilience of a territory unique in the world: Erto and Casso.
The purpose is twofold and deeply rooted in this land.
First, to honor the memory and learn from it. Erto and Casso are places that bear the scars of Vajont, an eternal reminder of the fragile balance between man and the environment. However, the mountains have also been the scene of epic historical events—think of the trenches of the First and Second World Wars, or the transit routes and natural fortresses that have shaped entire civilizations and conflicts. With our awards and screenings, we want to create a space for deep reflection, where memory is not just a recollection but becomes a tool for awareness. We want cinema to help us explore the lessons of the past, understand the complexities of human choices, and promote an ethic of responsibility towards our planet and future generations. Every image projected will be a tribute to those who are no longer with us and an invitation to build a better tomorrow.
Secondly, to celebrate resilience, rebirth, and mountain life, which is not only a memory of tragedies. It is also living testimony to the unstoppable force of nature and the tenacity of the human spirit. Like some trees in the Bosco Vecchio forest, which were able to take root again after the landslide and whose branches have become new life, our community has been able to get back on its feet and look ahead. The festival aims to highlight this capacity for rebirth, the wild and untamed beauty of our mountains, the culture that animates them, and the new perspectives that are opening up. We want cinema to be a tool for telling stories of hope, adaptation, sustainability, and the deep connection between humans and the nature that surrounds them.

Organizing a festival dedicated to the theme of emigration in Meduno means giving voice to
a wealth of stories, emotions, and memories that still inhabit the area today.
Through short films and documentaries from different parts of the world, the festival aims to build a bridge between the past and the present, between those who left and those who returned or arrived, between the roots and new identities that intertwine in border areas.
It's the desire to rediscover the memory of Friulian emigration, made up of departures, sacrifices, and hopes, and at the same time to reflect on contemporary migrations, which continue to transform communities and the way we look at the world.
In a natural and human context of great intensity, the festival becomes a moment of encounter and sharing, where authors, spectators, and inhabitants dialogue through the images, words, and emotions of cinema.
It's also an opportunity to promote independent filmmakers, authors, and productions that are capable of sensitively and originally portraying the many nuances of leaving, returning, and belonging.
Finally, the festival aims to strengthen the link between culture and territory, inviting the public to discover the discreet beauty of the villages and to experience community, memory, and cultural rebirth.
I am pleased to share excellent news from Peru: “Cinema Within Cinema” is a new festival focused on documentaries about film-related topics. Its production team is passionate about the stories behind the movies, and I’m sure it will soon become an exciting meeting point for filmmakers from around the world.
— Alexandre O. Philippe, director of documentaries about cinema.
The International Festival “Cinema Within Cinema” (FECIDECI) will celebrate its first edition from Monday, June 15 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, with activities taking place in various venues across Peru.
This new film event offers a unique space entirely dedicated to films that reflect on cinema itself — its history, its creators, its audiences, and its power of representation.
The festival is conceived as a meeting point for filmmakers, researchers, students, critics, and film lovers, aiming to foster dialogue about how cinema observes itself, remembers itself, and reinvents itself.
Over the course of a week, there will be screenings, discussions, and masterclasses, all free of charge for attendees.

The Miau Film Fest was created as a cinematic tribute to one of the most mysterious, free, and charming beings that share our lives: cats. This international short film festival invites filmmakers from around the world to celebrate, through cinema, the feline presence in all its forms: real, symbolic, poetic, or imagined.
Cats have accompanied art since time immemorial. They have been muses, guardians of silence, accomplices of solitude and inspiration. Their independence, infinite curiosity, and instinctive elegance make them authentic cinematic characters: observant, mysterious, unpredictable, and at the same time deeply human.
The Miau Film Fest aims to bring together diverse perspectives on these creatures that inhabit both our homes and our stories. It is also an invitation to recognize their ability to awaken tenderness, humor, reflection, and creativity in us.
More than a festival, Miau Film Fest is an act of love for cats and for cinema as a universal language. A space to celebrate the beauty of everyday life, the freedom of the smallest gestures, and the magic that happens when a cat appears on the scene.
THE FESTIVAL:
The International “Cinema Povero” Film Festival is open to everybody: rich film-makers, poor film-makers of any gender or religion all welcome provided they have developed a beautiful, original idea on a limited budget.
