FICTUKURU in Tacuro, Michoacán, goes beyond merely being a film event; it chooses to transcend its nature and become a vehicle for cultural preservation, intercultural understanding, and constructive dialogue. By showcasing cinema from P’URHEPECHA communities and connecting it with the national and international film landscape, the festival embodies the idea that cinema can be a bridge that unites people regardless of their origins. It not only celebrates the art of filmmaking but also fosters understanding, empathy, and promotes constructive dialogue among people from all walks of life. Its cultural and social impact highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse voices that make up our global society.

FICTUKURU stands as a powerful bridge that unites hearts and minds, demonstrating that stories have the power to transcend barriers and connect people worldwide. It enriches the cultural and narrative diversity of cinema, as unique and authentic stories that might otherwise go untold are discovered and shared within diverse communities. Furthermore, making cinema accessible to people who might not typically have the opportunity to engage with the industry democratizes access for both audiences and creators.
