The Miradasdoc International Documentary Film Festival in Guía de Isora was founded in 2006 with the aim of offering a complete overview of the world and potential of documentary film and offering other cultures and civilizations a forum for creative discourse.

The festival prioritizes films produced or shot in Third World and developing countries. The week-long festival includes conferences, round-table discussions, talks, lectures, and seminars with guests of the event, as well as parallel activities such as outdoor screenings, concerts, and workshops based on the festival’s themes.
