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.

The aim of the festival is to promote international competitiveness by attraction, a theme that governs and territories not only because it is also possible to communicate and communicate.
A territory has social value, exchange value and experience value, but also cultural value and economic value.
And the theme of change between economy, experience and culture is what pushed us to focus on the Castelli Romani, so that the Municipalities located in this splendid geographical area can exchange experiences with each other, with the spectators, with the international panorama in which the initiative places them.
The Punto e Virgola Foundation has the ambitious objective of hosting the Festival in all the Municipalities of the Castelli Romani, spreading the culture of cinema which gives us the privilege of knowing the history of countries and peoples distant from each other, encouraging the approach to wealth and the charm of otherness.
