Images are a universal language with the power to tell stories, evoke emotions and transport the viewer to unimaginable places. In the context of caving and canyoning, cinematography becomes an essential tool for revealing the beauty and mysteries of both the underground world and the canyons and ravines of the mountains.

The depths of caves and canyons offer a unique landscape which, hidden from
the eyes of those who do not venture inside, finds in the audiovisual medium a privileged vehicle for conveying knowledge, emotion and values, and for enabling them to discover impressive rock formations, underground rivers and exceptional ecosystems, revealing an environment that defies the imagination. These images not only capture the majesty of nature, but also highlight the [...]

We organize this festival in order to create a new reason to produce and introduce films and any other work of art that concentrate on the world’s problems and riches, and to pioneer the creation of a free platform and reward these works. We live in an era where too much information, and input that cannot be considered as information flow at a disconcertingly rapid pace in every plausible channel. We organize this festival so that we could all seek what is more local and smaller, and more importantly the one that is true and genuine together.

The ecological problems are increasing and becoming more and more varied; however, we also witness hope-inspiring developments. We organize this festival in order to create a platform that nurtures this hope. We hope that through our [...]
