Cine es Vida, it is our motto and driving force.
And life, like cinema, is creation, movement, restlessness, evolution…
-that little wasp belt of the Americas that is synonymous with life and diversity, we decided to create a Festival and a Foundation dedicated to promoting the vital cinematographic wealth of Central America and the Caribbean, written with a “C” for Cinema.
Throughout eleven years of Foundation and ten of Festivals, we have:
Screened films from all the inhabited continents of the planet, with emphasis on Central America and the Caribbean;
Developed workshops, courses and master classes;
welcomed viewers inside and outside the film industry;
received national and international guests;
and established support and unique projects for Panama and the region, such as the Su Mirada and Primera Mirada funds, the IFF Panama Film Match co-production meeting, and the Cinema in Classrooms, Cinema Sanitas and Humanity in Virtual Reality initiatives.
