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 aims to showcase the state of the art in audiovisual media through international authors, artists and directors who explore the theme of motherhood (Mother/Mom) with productions from 2020 to 2025.
Screenings, exhibition and award
During the three days of the festival, the 12 selected videos will be presented and projected in the Video Area of
Pavilion C.
The special jury (composed of international artists and creatives from the fields of cinema, art, advertising, fashion and journalism) will select the six finalists, which will then
be displayed to the public in a dedicated exhibition in Pavilion B.
​
Until mid-February 2026, the exhibition will be open to the public, who will be able to vote for the final prize, the mAff Trophy, which will be awarded on the closing night of the exhibition.
