DiALAB Film & Media Festival
The epicenter of Black audiovisual, the creative market, and global connections in Latin America.
Every year, Salvador becomes the world's meeting point for the Black diaspora through the DiALAB Film & Media Festival (DLF). Much more than a showcase, the festival is a living platform for business, creativity, and experience that brings together international talents, leading industry professionals, and enthusiasts of contemporary culture in a unique immersion during the Bahian summer.
Bringing together curated film screenings, key market panels for the streaming and TV industry, strategic consulting sessions, and vibrant nights fueled by cutting-edge music, the festival celebrates Bahia as Latin America's hub of innovation and narrative sovereignty. The DiALAB Film & Media Festival works to empower and connect creators and executives from across continents, turning cultural dialogue into sustainable and lasting economic partnerships.
