Festival Internacional De Cine Diverso

Festival overview

About Festival Internacional De Cine Diverso

Physical film festival with submission categories including National LGBTIQ+ Fiction Short Film and National LGBTIQ+ Non-Fiction Short Film.

The 4th International Diverse Film Festival marks a new chapter in the artistic and curatorial evolution of the festival. Under the concept “Revealed Memory,” this edition explores cinema as a living archive capable of preserving stories, identities, emotions, and experiences that have shaped the ways we understand diversity.

Rather than defining the selection criteria, “Revealed Memory” serves as the curatorial framework that inspires this year’s festival. We welcome fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, and hybrid short films that explore the diverse experiences, perspectives, and narratives of LGBTQIA+ communities across a wide range of genres, styles, and artistic approaches.

From November 4–7, 2026, Barranquilla, Colombia, will once again become a meeting point for filmmakers, artists, and audiences who believe in the power of cinema to foster dialogue, representation, reflection, and social transformation. We believe that every film has the power to broaden the way we see the world.

That is why the International Diverse Film Festival is a space where stories find a screen, a community, and new opportunities to be seen, shared, and celebrated.
