Overview
El Festival Nacional de Cine Pobre Panalandia es un festival panameño con sede en Colón, activo desde 2014, dedicado a exhibir cine de bajo presupuesto y a abrir espacio a realizadores panameños y centroamericanos. Es notable por su enfoque en historias sociales, comunitarias y culturales contadas con pocos recursos, y por complementar las proyecciones con talleres, conversatorios y actividades formativas, lo que le ha dado peso dentro del circuito cinematográfico nacional y regional.
