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.
