ANTARES - International Film Festival of Labor and Profession.

The Antares Film Festival showcases films where work is not just a backdrop, but the heart of the story. We prioritize talented works that use the protagonist's profession as the foundation of their drama, allowing us to explore characters, conflicts, dreams, and achievements.

Our focus is on individuals whose hands and minds perform everyday feats, such as steelworkers and teachers, doctors and farmers, engineers and fishermen. We value stories where work is not just a job, but a destiny. Where a machine, a blackboard, an operating room, or a construction site becomes a space for personal growth, struggle, triumph, or tragedy.

The festival was initiated by the Association of Employers "Safety and Quality". The [...]

International Festival

Short film festival

Único – International Amateur Film Festival was born from a commitment to value cinema created outside commercial and industrial circuits. Films made at home, in schools, within communities, or through personal urgency and affection. Family records, local narratives, poetic gestures, unfinished attempts — amateur cinema constitutes a vast and largely unseen visual heritage that this festival seeks to reveal, question, preserve, and reactivate.

Rejecting production-year limits, the festival acknowledges that amateur cinema often exists beyond institutional timelines. Many films remain unseen for years, waiting for their first public encounter. Único embraces discovery as a curatorial principle, welcoming films made in any period and valuing their relevance in the present rather [...]
