The All That Moves International Film Festival reaches its 5th edition, reaffirming its commitment to cultural diversity, audiovisual innovation, and the appreciation of independent cinema. With the curatorial approach “New viwes, other Cinemas”, the festival provides a platform for both studio and independent productions that break narrative, stylistic, and cultural barriers, featuring a curated group of films from different genres, nationalities, and styles, reaching a broad and inclusive audience.

Alongside traditional categories such as Best Feature Film, Documentary, Animation, LGBTQIA+, and Horror, the festival also highlights and values diversity in cinema, with awards dedicated to Students, Women in Film, Black Cinema, and Latin American Cinema. Additionally, All That Moves was the first festival in Brazil to introduce an award category dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, reinforcing its commitment to technological advancement and innovation in cinema.
