An international selection will highlight debut and second feature films, offering a perspective on contemporary cinema.
Making a first film is a demanding journey, from the initial script idea to gaining recognition from both audiences and industry professionals. These films are often deeply personal and carefully crafted, the result of a long creative process.
RECIF aims to celebrate emerging filmmakers and help them connect with their audience.
The international selection, revealed in October 2025, will be screened in the festival’s partner cinemas.
