The festival will be screening the new tendencies in the industry from young producers. ?We want to talk in a different language here. We have dedicated a lot of time at selecting specific content that new ? young generations want to see in theaters. They want their lives reflected in the screen; they want to see their religious beliefs and even sexual identities in the big TV?, says Andrés Bayona, Biif?s founder and director.
