ABout us
Aldeas is a global cinematic movement inspired by the legacy of Pope Francis and his final dream: to build a more human world through the power of storytelling. Emerging from the educational mission of Scholas, Aldeas brings together great minds from the film industry and communities from every corner of the globe to explore the richness of human life through cinema.
At the heart of this movement is Aldeas Scholas Films, its creative production arm. Through both documentary and fiction, we craft stories that reveal the poetic, spiritual, and universal dimensions of existence- stories that invite us to reflect on our shared humanity, the beauty of diversity, and the deep connections between people, cultures, and the sacred.
We believe in cinema as a transformative tool -capable of celebrating the complexity of life, opening paths to dialogue, and reshaping how we understand each other. Each project is a collaborative journey that invites local communities to share their voices, memories, and dreams. In doing so, we build a new narrative while inspire new ways of seeing and living.
Aldeas envisions a world where film becomes a meeting ground for cultures, where stories spark connection and creation. By weaving together global talent and local identity, we aim to shape a cultural movement that honors difference, builds bridges, and brings to light the unique beauty within every community.
