XI FESTIVAL
DE CINE
1 - 11. 10
PERU
online edition
We decided to stay home, but accompanied by the best cinema. For this reason, the XI edition of Al Este Film Festival, initially announced for this June, will be held from October 1 to 11, online. The context warrants it: the entertainment industry, which includes the exhibition of cinema in theaters, has been one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dozens of film festivals around the world were canceled and several others temporarily migrated to the digital format. We are in the second group. We adapt to the "new normal" of the environment to bring home some of the most stimulating films from Central and Eastern Europe, as we have been doing in Peru for a decade.
Of course, rest assured that sooner or later we will return to the dark room. Until then, we are working to offer you movies, masterclasses, interviews and a lot of content in the best quality and with the greatest possible security.
The ESTE LAB seminar offers master classes taught by directors noted for their creativity and creative autonomy. Participants will have the opportunity to hear first-hand the experiences of great professionals in the world film industry.
Available in Latin America
Competencies
The AL ESTE festival competitions promise the public an artistic and current cinematographic journey. All the films are presented as premieres in our country and many of them on the continent.
There are 11 films in the competition TO THE EAST, with the most recent films from Central and Eastern Europe; 9 films in Al Este Itinerante, a section that links the countries that host the AL ESTE Festival; Perú Emergente offers us 10 excellent national fictional and documentary short films; and finally, ExperimentAlEst brings us national works that contemplate cinema in its purest state.
