Jury Statement

We are honored to be part of the second year of the Pueblo Film Festival.
The majority of our committee—five out of six members—are professors, bringing a strong academic and professional perspective to the evaluation of submissions.

We were deeply inspired by the diversity of voices and the urgency of the stories shared. These films remind us that media is not only an art form, but a vital force for representation, dialogue, and social change.

We thank all the filmmakers for sharing their visions and for strengthening the spirit of independent and inclusive cinema.

WE WERE HONORED TO SCREEN 65 AMAZING FILMS THIS YEAR!
