The Pink Cycle has for years been a stage for filmmakers from all over the world to publicize their work and express, from a unique perspective, the experiences and problems of a diverse community.

“For Idartes, it is a priority to create spaces for expression and reflection in the city, to have conversations about gender representations, in the feminine and in the LGBTIQ+ community because the arts allow us to express ourselves in a different, free and inclusive way,” said Catalina Valencia, Entity Director.

This course was created in 2001 by the Goethe-Institut, the Colombo Americano Center in Medellin, the Pensar Institute of the University of Javeriana and the District Cinematheque, today called Cinematheque of Bogotá, the Department of Audiovisual Arts of Idartes.

Both audio-visual cinema has been an intimate witness and resounding spectator of the social struggles of the LGBTIQ+ communities for their rights, freedoms and dignity in the world. As a stage for arts and social dialogue, the Cinematheque of Bogotá presents the 21st edition of the Pink Cycle with a range of audiovisual creativity, from local and community aspects of the city to an international and retrospective exhibition, including performances, academic spaces and the development of narratives through new media.’,” confirmed Ricardo Kantor, Director of Audiovisual Arts at Departments, during the launch of the course.
