4 reales film festival

Pasco, Peru


Cerro de Pasco, a city that has forged its identity in the depths of the earth, is preparing to welcome a new treasure: the "4 Reales" Film Festival. Inspired by our region's rich mining history, this cinematic event stands as a beacon of hope and creativity, illuminating the deepest corners of our culture. With each frame, we aim to project dreams, inspire talent, and celebrate the cultural diversity that characterizes us. Since time immemorial, stories have been passed down from generation to generation, carved into the walls of mines and resonating in the hearts of their inhabitants. Today, cinema becomes the new medium to tell these stories, to make visible the struggles and dreams of a people who have known how to face challenges with courage. The name "4 Reales" pays homage to the colonial-era currency, a symbol of value and exchange. Just as money connected people in the past, cinema unites us in the present, creating a space for encounter and dialogue where differences are blurred and diversity is celebrated.

Utsav – Celebration or Festival

We have started this LGBTQ+ & Independent Film Festival for cinema lovers. This film festival will be a celebration of creativity and ideas. After a successful completion of the first edition of the festival, we are now ready for the second edition.

LGBTQ+ cinema globally as well as in India has become an important part of the film industry. OTT platforms have increased the reach of these films to a larger audience. Of course, these avenues are mostly for mainstream cinema and filmmakers. There are a lot of independent film makers who also have interesting stories to present. We hope that this festival will be a platform for these independent film makers and their wonderful stories.

Each film has various components – story, script, cinematography, editing, sound, music, acting – to name a few. In this festival, we wish to acknowledge all aspects of film making and creativity. Thus, we hope that film makers will be encouraged to submit their work to showcase any or all aspects of their creativity.

Not all film makers, particularly independent filmmakers, and students, have the luxury of large budgets and wonderful locations for filming. We appreciate these limitations and would like to provide a platform to these filmmakers. We would encourage first time filmmakers who would like to present their work to submit to the festival.

It is also important to learn from each other’s experiences. During the festival, we hope to have panel discussions with filmmakers, writers, editors, sound engineers, cinematographers, musicians, and audience as well. This healthy exchange will enrich the experience.

The first two days of festival will be for LGBTQ+ cinema, and the next two days will be for other independent films in this edition of the festival.

Come be a part of this ‘UTSAV’!
