Punto y Raya (Dot & Line), dubbed ‘the most abstract festival in the world’ by the Japanese press, fosters experimentation in visual arts through the use of pure Form, Colour, Motion and Sound, avoiding direct representation. This renders it universal and timeless. Its mission is to recapture the spirit of Cinéma Pure and Absolute Film formulated by the European avant-garde in the 1920s, consolidating this unique artform laying at the intersection between Fine Arts and Media.
