The Mostra Cinepoesia 2026 is a film event that promotes dialogue between cinema and poetry through the screening of experimental short films, video art, or video poetry created by authors, poets, filmmakers, directors, or artists.
The event plans to select approximately 15 original works for screening—whether previously released or not—including those submitted by applicants or invited participants, as well as works from the festival’s collection.
The presence of poetic language is essential in the selected audiovisual works, whether narrated, spoken, sung, or written.
We seek new possibilities for poetic cinema that draws on linguistic experimentation and the synergy between images, sounds, and words.
Our 2026 tribute goes to Elisa Lucinda. We highlight her multidisciplinary career as a Brazilian actress, poet, writer, and singer, as well as her legacy as a champion of poetic power.

Sex Education Film Festival has been created in a time of controversy, which has seen society as a whole debate whether or not schools should receive sex education. Our main goal is to educate and highlight the importance of sex as a part of health education while showcasing how vital it is for young people's development, learning, and overall well-being. The Sex Education Film Festival launches its first edition in February 2021 and is made up of a team of qualified professionals from education, communication, and audiovisuals. We believe this expertise will not only widen the audience’s knowledge and learnings regarding sex education but will also work to make the festival a success.
