Cauldron is an international film and video festival based in Salt Lake City that is dedicated to challenging and innovative motion-picture works in any genre or format. Unorthodox film narratives, rogue documentaries, avant-garde cinema, video mashups, abstract video art, genre-bending storytelling... We accept all categories with an eye towards innovation, iconoclasm, personal visions, and any/all unique motion picture experiences.
The creation of Lumen – Rio de Janeiro’s Independent Film Festival – emerged from distinct paths: the first being a long journey of work in festivals by its founders. It was years spent programming and curating important festivals in the Brazilian scene. In this work, Gabriel Papaléo, Pedro Tavares, and Waleska Antunes, who also worked together in film production, noticed how independent films go through complex paths to reach the Brazilian audience.
