Created for the 11th edition of Another Way Film Festival (2025), this piece celebrates the power of community as a force for eco-social transformation. Conceived as a visual meditation, it blends introspection and collective strength through a calm yet vibrant atmosphere.
The golden fish, a humble symbol of invisible life, floats between light and shadow, while the camera turns toward the viewer — turning the audience into the true protagonist. Caustic light patterns evoke the sea and its emotional gravity, linking the natural world with inner reflection. Crafted with AI through a custom model trained on original digital drawings, the composition unfolds in three essential tones —black, orange, and blue— balancing energy, depth, and serenity in tune with the festival’s spirit: optimism, connection, and care.

The festival
Another Way Film Festival is an international event held annually in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to cinema and sustainable culture. Since its creation, it has become a meeting point for filmmakers, professionals, and audiences interested in stories that promote environmental awareness and social transformation. Now celebrating its eleventh edition, the festival offers screenings, talks, and workshops that explore the relationship between creativity, ethics, and the planet — inviting viewers to imagine “another way” of living and understanding the world through film.
11th edition
The 11th edition of Another Way Film Festival was held in Madrid from October 14 to 19 (2025), celebrating cinema as a tool for awareness and transformation. This year’s program featured 39 films, including documentaries and short films that challenge conventions and inspire coherence, action, and hope. The winning film of this edition was Yintah, directed by Brenda Wickman, a powerful reflection on community, resistance, and the defense of ancestral territory.
