Kinam, Festival Internacional de Cine Diferente surge en México en el año del 2020 de manera independiente con la intención de exhibir y proyectar nuevas narrativas del cine contemporáneo nacional e internacional.

​Nuestra intención principal es mostrar películas y trabajos audiovisuales que rompan los esquemas de la narrativa tradicional a través de la innovación estética y discursiva. Factores que sin duda logran hacernos imaginar un campo expandido en el cine para encontrar una expresión auténtica y profunda impregnada de creatividad.

​Kinam es una palabra Náhuatl que se estructura a partir de la raíz Kin, la cual significa poder y a su vez forma los términos Kinatia y Kinamiktli los cuales hacen alusión a los conceptos, encuadrado y armonizado. La forma abreviada Kinam daba nombre a los kiname toltecas quienes poseían un enorme sentido espiritual.

​De esta manera Kinam, Festival Internacional de Cine Diferente evoca la fuerza trascendental de la imagen en movimiento para descubrir formas, ritmos, lenguajes, texturas y aproximaciones a la realidad desde el ángulo potente de la imaginación.
​Creemos que los géneros cinematográficos son parte de un todo, por lo cual consideramos que nuestra categoría es híbrida y ante todo un territorio abierto para que todos los realizadores puedan mostrar sus creaciones siempre y cuando confronten las convenciones, así como las narrativas tradicionales con un alto grado de creatividad.

Nuestro festival convoca a cineastas, artistas audiovisuales, estudiantes y público en general a presentar cortos, medios y largometrajes que propongan narrativas innovadoras a través de técnicas mixtas e híbridas y una inmensa libertad creativa que se aleje de las convenciones y lenguajes tradicionales.

Ante la situación de COVID 19 nuestro festival se apegará a las normas sanitarias en México, por lo que nuestras exhibiciones podrán ser virtuales o presenciales dependiendo del contexto en el que nos encontremos.
