Overview
I could not verify a distinct Guatemala-based festival named "Festival de Cortometrajes Tito Vacaro" from the provided results. The available sources instead point to Guatemala's ÍCARO International Film Festival, which is a major Central American festival that screens short films alongside feature films in fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental categories, and is significant as a regional hub for audiovisual exchange and industry recognition.[2][3][6]
