Overview
WAWA is the children-and-youth competition of the Arica Nativa festival in Arica, Chile, dedicated to films made by girls, boys, and adolescents. It is notable for its "films made by kids to save the planet" focus, screening very short works—typically up to 5 minutes—about environmental care, cultural identity, and other social themes, and for bringing youth-made cinema into an established regional festival with international participation.
