The 2nd Miradas Mayores Film Festival is a space for dialogue, promotion, and reflection among filmmakers, their works, and audiences, with the aim of exploring the many ways of experiencing aging in contemporary society. Through the audiovisual medium, the festival seeks to bring forward stories that highlight the diversity of experiences, life paths, and realities of older adults, promoting a more human, inclusive, and respectful perspective on aging.
With a decentralized approach, Miradas Mayores brings cinema to different communities and regions, transforming each screening into an opportunity for community engagement and cultural participation.
The festival aims to challenge stereotypes that associate old age solely with dependency, illness, or unproductiveness, instead highlighting older adults as active participants in social, cultural, and community life.
Miradas Mayores is an invitation to build new narratives about aging, fostering recognition of the rights, dignity, and valuable contributions of older adults.
Through cinema, the festival seeks to contribute to a more inclusive society, where people's experience, memory, and diversity are valued as an essential part of our collective identity.
