Dreamed Territories: imagining to repair

Under the banner “Dreamed Territories”, the 2026 Festival de Cine Colombia Migrante asks what place imagination and desire can have in building peace. Ten years after the signing of Colombia’s Peace Agreement, experiences of migration, exile and displacement continue to shape territories and processes of memory, reparation and collective reconstruction.
