In the Flashback Habitat complex, ex children institute and maternity clinic, in the tallest building where the Mater sign stands out, a home for arthouse and art films is born, aiming to host and welcome the contemporary audiovisual arts movement through screenings, reviews, festivals, exhibitions and publishing projects.

​

In 2025, mAFF, the mater Art Film Festival, is born.

In its first edition, it hosts an international selection of short audiovisual works that represent, interpret or simply pay homage to the archetype of the mother in all her forms. 
For its first edition, mAFF showcased the state of the art in audiovisual media through international authors, artists and directors who explored the theme of motherhood (Mother/Mom) with productions from 2020 to 2025.
