Overview

El Festival Universitario de Cine y Audiovisuales Equinoxio celebra su vigésima octava edición, entre el 18 y el 26 de septiembre de 2026, abriendo un espacio de encuentro y reflexión en torno al cine estudiantil y posibilitando el contacto con la visión estética de nuevos talentos, así como con las preocupaciones artísticas, sociales y personales de los jóvenes cineastas. Este año, la línea conceptual adoptada “No acepto el mundo como es” aborda la incertidumbre como una experiencia que atraviesa de manera particular a nuestra generación: una mirada joven que duda tanto de su presente como de su futuro, que no rechaza el mundo desde la certeza de saber cómo debería ser, sino desde la dificultad de habitarlo tal como se presenta. Así, la incertidumbre aparece como un síntoma colectivo propio de nuestro tiempo y, en este sentido, decidimos abrazarla y encontrar en ella materia prima para la creación. --- Equinoxio University Film and Audiovisual Festival celebrates its 28th edition from September 18th to 26th, 2026, providing a space for encounter and reflection on student cinema and facilitating contact with the aesthetic vision of emerging talents, as well as with the artistic, social, and personal concerns of young filmmakers. This year, the conceptual theme adopted, “I don’t accept the world as it is,” addresses uncertainty as an experience that particularly resonates with our generation: a youthful perspective that doubts both its present and its future, rejecting the world not from a certainty of knowing how it should be, but from the difficulty of inhabiting it as it is. Thus, uncertainty emerges as a collective symptom of our time, and in this sense, we have chosen to embrace it and find in it raw material for creation.
