Cine Pobre is a self-funded filmmaking genre without a set of stylistic criteria nor format boundaries, involving many geographically separated creators with at least two things in common: a strong desire to tell their story and to do so with their own resources.
Multiple International Events
There are Cine Pobre inspired venues in several countries around the world. As the former Manifest of the Humberto Solas Event stated, « Low-Budget Cinema » does not mean cinema devoid of ideas or artistic quality. It refers to a type of cinema of restricted economic possibilities, done in less developed countries or in those around them. During the course of the week, there are also a number of concerts, exhibitions, meetings… The International Low-Budget Movie Festival relies on the key support of the Cuban Institute for Movie Art and Industry (ICAIC), the Ministry of Culture of Cuba, the Provincial Government of Holguín Province and the City of Gibara, among other institutions.
