MALDITO FESTIVAL de Videopoesía is an international video-poetry contest that has been held annually in Albacete (Spain) since 2017 in a physical and online form.

The festival has two fixed sections: International Videopoetry Contest and International Poetic Film Showcase. In addition to various activities such as round tables, literary presentations, retrospectives, concerts, videoart, exhibitions, informative activities... all focused on videopoetry, poetic cinema, videoart and experimental cinema.

With the International Videopoetry Competition section, the festival vindicates this discipline as an art that connects people, transmits feelings and stimulates different ways of seeing the world. It is also a small contribution of enormous people to promote visual art, preventing it from being marginal and cursed* (*Maldito).

 The International Poetic Film Showcase is a manifestation of their commitment to artistic exploration, cultural diversity and the celebration of art in all its forms. The festival aims to provide a space for filmmakers from around the world to share their unique visions, exploring emotions, dreams, human experiences and the complexities of the world around us in a deeply personal and artistic way.

The festival is organised by the Asociación Cultural Maldito, a not-for-profit organisation made up of a small team of professionals from the film industry, poetry and culture in general.
