Armonia Mentis Award - an award from the Sinestesia Cultural Association, celebrates cinematic works that explore the journey to inner peace with depth and sensitivity. This award seeks to focus attention on the individual journey of resolving inner conflicts as a foundation for addressing and transforming external ones, promoting a vision of peace that begins from within.
With a focus on fiction that inspires personal reflection and inner growth, the award aims to honor short films that not only entertain but serve as catalysts for personal and social change. The winner will receive a cash prize designed to support the creation of future works that continue to explore and deepen the themes of balance and peace.
This prize emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and greater self-understanding as means to build a more peaceful world, incentivizing filmmakers to investigate the depths of the human soul and depict stories that resonate with our collective quest for harmony and understanding.
