Number three is one of the most important and mysterious elements in Eastern culture.
In ancient times, there were the "Three Emperors", in the court, there were the "Three Lords", and the "Three Elders" in the prefectures, counties, and villages; religions that have a profound influence on the world are no exception. There are "Three Pure Ones" in Taoist mythology, and Confucianism proposed the "Three Pure Ones" or "Three Cardinal Guidelines", while Buddhism has "Three Worlds". In the "Tao Te Ching" there is also: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." Even in traditional Chinese medicine theory, there is the so-called "three yin and three yang". The ancients believed that Taiyang, Yangming, and Shaoyang in the human body are the three yangs; Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin are the three yin. The locations of these important meridians are directly related to people's health.
Sima Qian wrote in "Historical Records·Lüshu": "The number begins with one, ends with ten, and ends with three." The "Three Jewels" of Buddhism: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Confucius had three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages. It means: “A gentleman should have three points of reverence: reverence for the will of God, reverence for the virtuous monarch, and reverence for the teachings of the saints.
Zeng Guofan has Zeng Guofan’s Three Precepts. The first is to abstain from saying too much, the second is to abstain from anger, and the third is to abstain from having an angry and seeking heart.
We also believe that within 33 minutes, you can tell a very exciting story and make the audience more focused in a limited time. We believe that the more restricted the stage, the better the performance. So I hope that at the 33rd International Film Festival, you can create works that shock Eastern culture.

In this third edition of the International Diverse Film Festival, we pay tribute to the deep roots and unstoppable strength of the Trans community, using the yellow oak and the purple oak—two iconic trees of Barranquilla—as our emblem. Like our stories, they resist and flourish even in the harshest terrains.
Each story, though considered “basic” by others, is a vital seed for our cinema and our collective memory. Every trans narrative deserves its space, its light, its recognition. This year, our roots intertwine with the hope for a Comprehensive Trans Law and with the urgent call for justice, visibility, and dignity.
The festival is a garden of voices—of necessary stories—where each film is a new sprout that challenges the norm and beautifies our social and cultural landscape.
FICTUKURU in Tacuro, Michoacán, goes beyond merely being a film event; it chooses to transcend its nature and become a vehicle for cultural preservation, intercultural understanding, and constructive dialogue. By showcasing cinema from P’URHEPECHA communities and connecting it with the national and international film landscape, the festival embodies the idea that cinema can be a bridge that unites people regardless of their origins. It not only celebrates the art of filmmaking but also fosters understanding, empathy, and promotes constructive dialogue among people from all walks of life. Its cultural and social impact highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse voices that make up our global society.
FICTUKURU stands as a powerful bridge that unites hearts and minds, demonstrating that stories have the power to transcend barriers and connect people worldwide. It enriches the cultural and narrative diversity of cinema, as unique and authentic stories that might otherwise go untold are discovered and shared within diverse communities. Furthermore, making cinema accessible to people who might not typically have the opportunity to engage with the industry democratizes access for both audiences and creators.
