The Rio Mountain Festival is the largest and oldest mountain film festival in Brazil. It takes place in Rio de Janeiro, which, despite being a coastal city, is surrounded by iconic mountains. Among these mountains are Sugarloaf Mountain, with its famous cable car; Corcovado, with the Christ the Redeemer statue; and the imposing Pedra da Gávea. All are represented in the Corcovado Trophy, awarded to the winning films.
For five days, usually in October, the public immerses itself in a program full of Brazilian and international films about adventure sports, nature, and mountain culture. The festival also features photography contests and exhibitions, book launches with author talks, art workshops, and sports activities for children.
As a member of the International Alliance for Mountain Film (IAMF), we are committed to following the principles that guide mountain film festivals in all their diversity, promoting international cooperation, sharing stories about the mountains, drawing attention to environmental issues, and celebrating the culture of outdoor life.
This international meeting, already a classic in Punta del Este, has some peculiarities that distinguish it from other Jewish Film Festivals in the world, due to the fact that it takes place in such a special seaside resort as Punta del Este, a meeting point where communities from different countries gather annually in Uruguay.
The Punta del Este Jewish Film Festival (Festival Internacional de Cine Judío de Uruguay, FICJU®) was born in 2003, with the purpose of generating a cultural, educational, didactic and illustrative space, oriented to promote the knowledge of the history of the Jewish people and its diverse cultures and traditions, thus seeking to strengthen our identity and integration through art.
Fiction films and documentaries with different perspectives of the Jewish theme are shown, spaces are organized for the analysis and reflection of the history, customs and cultures of our people around the world, and the memory of the Shoa (Holocaust) is constantly maintained.
We discover new aspects of our heritage and identity, as well as learn about the current conditions of the different Jewish communities around the world, fostering the integration of all Jewish people through the knowledge of our shared essence.
Thanks to the above, the Punta del Este Jewish Film Festival becomes a focus of tourist attraction, with an average of 2,500 attendees.

The 2nd Miradas Mayores Film Festival is a space for dialogue, promotion, and reflection among filmmakers, their works, and audiences, with the aim of exploring the many ways of experiencing aging in contemporary society. Through the audiovisual medium, the festival seeks to bring forward stories that highlight the diversity of experiences, life paths, and realities of older adults, promoting a more human, inclusive, and respectful perspective on aging.
With a decentralized approach, Miradas Mayores brings cinema to different communities and regions, transforming each screening into an opportunity for community engagement and cultural participation.
The festival aims to challenge stereotypes that associate old age solely with dependency, illness, or unproductiveness, instead highlighting older adults as active participants in social, cultural, and community life.
Miradas Mayores is an invitation to build new narratives about aging, fostering recognition of the rights, dignity, and valuable contributions of older adults.
Through cinema, the festival seeks to contribute to a more inclusive society, where people's experience, memory, and diversity are valued as an essential part of our collective identity.
Todo es Prompt es un festival internacional de cine online de cortometrajes creados con inteligencia artificial. Este AI short film festival invita a cineastas, artistas y creadores de todo el mundo a explorar nuevas formas de narrativa audiovisual utilizando herramientas de inteligencia artificial.
El festival nace en un momento de transformación del cine. Durante años, muchos creadores dependieron de fondos, convocatorias, jurados y largos procesos de validación que dejaban más proyectos fuera que dentro. Mientras tanto, la tecnología avanzaba silenciosamente. Hoy, las herramientas de AI filmmaking permiten transformar ideas, prompts y guiones en imágenes cinematográficas.
Hoy una idea puede convertirse en una escena.
Hoy un texto puede convertirse en una película.
Hoy el acto de dirigir puede comenzar con una simple instrucción: un prompt.
Todo es Prompt surge en este punto de inflexión del cine con inteligencia artificial, donde los creadores pueden producir obras audiovisuales sin las barreras tradicionales de la industria. El festival celebra el cine generado con IA, desde obras experimentales hasta cortometrajes narrativos creados con herramientas de AI video generation y AI storytelling.
Invitamos a cineastas, artistas digitales y experimentadores de todo el mundo a enviar sus cortometrajes de inteligencia artificial y formar parte de una comunidad internacional que está explorando el futuro del cine.
Creemos en la autoría humana amplificada por herramientas de inteligencia artificial.
Creemos que la tecnología no reemplaza la visión: la expande.
No esperamos turno para crear.
No pedimos permiso para hacer nuestro cine.
