Cultural programming

We present film series, theatre, music and exhibitions that combine
community content, national and international cinema, and
participatory activities.

Training and education

We deliver workshops in audiovisual production, projection, media
literacy and “subliminal education” (pedagogical tools that use image
and sound to strengthen identity and community values).

Volunteering and partnerships

We welcome professional volunteers and corporate partners for
knowledge transfer, fundraising and joint CSR campaigns.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change

Our Vision

Our vision is to empower Indigenous communities, fostering self-development and enabling them to achieve a better quality of life.

Our Mission

We plan to build 100-seat cinemas in indigenous towns and villages platforms for subliminal education through artistic and inspiring films focused on personal growth and positive values. These cinemas will also function as community gathering spaces, auditoriums, schools, theaters, museums, concert halls, and symbolic temples of knowledge, faith in a brighter future.
