It's time to intensify the work of inventing new worlds and new humanities. Time to propose new understandings and experiences for the moving image. Time to unfold cinema in new practices of imagination and sensitive bonds of cooperation with everything that lives. It is an emergency time. Time to reaffirm the commitment of DOBRA - International Experimental Film Festival with the creation and maintenance of a cinematic experimentation space in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

With great joy we are back for new inventions and cinematographic reflections, opening the call for submissions for the 8th edition of DOBRA – International Experimental Film Festival.

We know that experimental cinema, while a power of creativity and synthesis, brings important answers to the questions that affect us. In order to be in contact with creative artists from all over the world, we launch a new call for films and audiovisual works, redoubling the contemporary web that unites us through the multiple creations and poetics of experimental cinema.

In the face of death, it is urgent to reaffirm life. Cinema is an incurable contagion, it transforms us forever and with each film once again. We are in the dark and we do not know where we are going. In this sick world, art has become a basic item, a daily necessity for the maintenance of life.
