The Kunturñawi Ecuadorian Film Festival is a long-running festival based in Riobamba, Ecuador, and is notable for being a dedicated showcase for Ecuadorian cinema since 2006. It is significant in the national film circuit because it decentralizes film access beyond major cities, bringing screenings, discussions, and educational activities to audiences across the central provinces and positioning itself as an important space for film culture and public formation.[1][7][8][12]
