La Guarimba International Film Festival is a cultural association and an international film festival that annually takes place in Amantea (Calabria) and which shows short films from all over the world, divided into the following categories: Fiction, Animation, Documentary, Insomnia, Music Video and La Grotta dei Piccoli - children's film selection.[1][2][3]
La Guarimba was born in 2012 when a group of friends decided to work with the aim of reopening the only cinema in the small town of Amantea in southern Italy.
La Guarimba uses culture as a vehicle to promote values of participatory democracy, integration, human rights and accessibility.[4][5][6] The motto of the association is "Bringing the cinema back to the people and the people back to the cinema".[7]
