One of the main motivations for launching the Festival is to turn its eyes towards a community and a territory that in the past was besieged by armed groups outside the law. San Bernardo is today a community that, besides being surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, has enormous potential in agricultural, tourist, cultural and community issues.
We look for productions that approach through fiction, documentary or animation, themes that include popular knowledge, traditions, practices, customs, manifestations and rural problems of Colombia.
