Punto de Vista. International Documentary Film Festival of Navarra
The International Documentary Film Festival “Punto de Vista” is an annual event featuring the latest trends in the field of documentary films. Since the Festival’s first edition, staged in 2005, it has been inspired by Jean Vigo’s film and ethical principles. Organized by the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Government of Navarra, the festival is hosted in the city of Pamplona every year in February.
The Festival is open to all non-fiction audiovisual forms, such as author’s documentaries, creation documentaries, experimental essays, diary films or works created using home, orphan or recycled materials.
Punto de Vista aims to be a meeting point for all documentary film makers who, in a free and experimental way, explore the cinema ability for recording time and, as Jean Vigo used to say, “open our eyes and help us to look beyond the appearances”.
Considering the nature of this cinematographic author, Punto de Vista is an invitation for all film makers who offer a wider reality perception across their glances, and across their untransferable points of view, and who understand that the first of all ethical compromises for a documentary film maker is that one related to the cinematographic form itself.
