Desde 2003, Open Doors ha promovido la producción cinematográfica en regiones donde el cine independiente es especialmente difícil, construyendo puentes para la colaboración entre regiones, países y continentes. A través de los programas públicos y profesionales de Open Doors, nuestro objetivo es proporcionar un espacio donde los talentos encuentren apoyo en cada paso de su trayectoria creativa y profesional y donde el debate y la reinvención del cine actual puedan tener lugar entre voces libres.
El objetivo final de Puertas Abiertas es contribuir al desarrollo de una comunidad cinematográfica mundial más colaborativa y sin fronteras, haciendo al mismo tiempo que la escena independiente sea más fuerte y sostenible.
