Cada actividad invita a reflexionar sobre temas como la identidad, la migración, la familia, el idioma, la memoria y la vida cotidiana, promoviendo el intercambio de ideas y el aprendizaje entre personas de distintos orígenes.Más que un festival de cine, el GLFF es un espacio de encuentro para toda la comunidad.
