The MiradasDoc festival is divided into the Official Section and the information section. The Official Section is made up of the international, national and Canarian prizes. The information sections are grouped around the labels of Cinemateca Sur — in which it is our intention to provide a tour of a country’s films from one of the three continents in question; this year, the countries are   Uruguay, Iran and Burkina Faso—, “Mirada personal” (Personal View) —a tribute to the career of a director—, and a themed showing, “Actualidad Documental” (Documentary Reality) which, as the name indicates, reflects on an aspect of the reality of documentary cinema in the world.

The Official Section of MiradasDoc shares out over 40,000 € in prizes each year.
