The festival, produced by Italian cultural organization La Guarimba, focuses on celebrating Caribbean and Latin American cinema while activating collaborations with local cultural organizations.

The creative talks
To engage with the city of Caracas, listen, and establish a lasting dialogue, the program of the festival included two talks open to the public.
"Creativity for Social Change" at Escuela de Teatro Musical de Petare.
Panel discussion on Caraqueño identity at ABRA CARACAS gallery.
The screenings
Opening event at El Marchante.

Conclusion
With the journey of this first edition, we identified a public that is looking for an agenda with tools and methodologies that contribute to a lasting dynamic over time, sowing seeds that can be used by everyone.
This is the birth of a project that crosses Caracas with an atomic cultural and educational proposal that pursues the following objectives:
To recognise Caribbean identity and celebrate it
To offer cinematic proposals from Italy and the Caribbean in the streets of Caracas
To develop empathy, collaboration and commitment in educational projects
Using creativity as the most powerful tool to generate social change.
