At MADFA®, we believe that cinema has the power to transport us to different worlds and realities, connecting us through empathy. It is a magical tool that speaks a universal language, with the ability to unite people from all over the world in a single moment. This is why we look for stories that stay with the audience after leaving the cinema, those that challenge how we think and feel about the world around us.

“Art in all its forms crosses any border, culture, society, ethnicity, or religion. Art is what most identifies us as human beings and is what gives us humanity. Let's unite nations through a screen!” MADFA Director.

The members of our jury belong to a network of professionals with years of experience in the industry. The MADFA experience does not offer simple films; it offers Cinema.
