Feature film festival

Habitar el cine, Caracas International Contemporary film festival is an annual event that seeks to connect the different audiences in the country with the best national and international contemporary films.

The festival celebrates and promotes the diversity of cinematography creation, committed to extensive programme, activities, special events, meetings and discussion groups that mark the bridge between the work, author and audience.

This event is not a competitive meeting, instead, it's conceived to see, enjoy and delve into the cinema in a healthy way, far away from the attractive market and closer to findings and the avant-garde.
