The screen is a way to shine light on hidden realities in the world and give a voice to those who are silenced. It is also a way to appeal to the emotions directly. Films make you feel. The creators of Protesta believe that another world is possible, and they want to help accelerate that change to society through cinema.

Festival Protesta strives for equal participation by ensuring that at least half of the feature films are directed by women. It’s challenging because there aren’t nearly as many films with female directors as there should be, but they make it happen.

This edition of Protesta Film Festival focuses on the topic of privileges; it aims to be brave and recognize in our lives and environments the conditions that favor us and, at the same time, disadvantage others. Conditions of class, race and gender, which perpetuate inequalities in a system that is deeply unfair to many groups and people.
