Diálogos Alternos
Diálogos Alternos are 45-minute post-screening discussions and conversations where each film continues to breathe beyond the credits. They bring together a representative of the film, a cultural voice from Medellín, and the audience in an open dialogue between the film’s universe and the local context that receives it. More than a Q&A, they are a space where cinema sparks ideas, emotions, and questions that resonate collectively and create meaning together.
The discussions program of the 3rd Alternatica Film Festival is part of the cinematic experience itself. A film also lives in the questions it leaves behind, in the words it stirs in others, and in the ways it becomes a shared conversation. We have named it Diálogos Alternos to evoke the transformation these exchanges make possible, and the new meanings they can open through encounters with Global South cinema.
