Memory is a journey backward, a gateway where who we have been and who we are becoming meet. This theme explores memory as a suspended space, where the past is not merely nostalgia but a compass that guides the future.

We welcome works of every genre and language — from fiction to documentary, from animation to experimental film. The Festival invites authors to engage with the persistence of emotions, the fragility of time, and the impossibility of separating ourselves from what has shaped us.

Through the language of cinema, memory becomes a living substance — capable of transforming pain into vision, and distance into possibility.
