Festival Ecuatoriano de Cine Atuk
Emerging or unverified festival
The Festival Ecuatoriano de Cine Atuk is a Quito-based film festival founded in 2017 to address the lack of exhibition spaces for short films made by students, audiovisual producers, and filmmakers in Ecuador. It is notable for promoting a local short-film culture while also recognizing international short films, serving as a bridge between filmmakers and the public in Ecuador’s growing short-film scene.[1][2]
