1. Access to Diverse Cinema as a Cultural Right Dignified access to diverse cinema is a fundamental cultural right. Cinema opens spaces for community dialogue, coexistence, and promotes peace; it strengthens personal and local identity as well as a sense of belonging.

2. Principle of Collective Experience Community distribution and exhibition are grounded in the principle of collective experience. Cinema goes to the community, not the other way around.

3. Opposition to the Commercial Paradigm Community distribution and exhibition oppose the commercial paradigm, which we recognize as a hegemonic model driven by market transactions and competitive logic.

4. Focus on Collective Audiences In our proposal, audiences, understood in their collective and non-commercial dimension, are the focus and reason for community distribution strategies.

5. Empower Dialogue and Dignifying Diverse Voices We advocate for a vision of distribution and exhibition that enables dialogue processes and dignifies the diverse voices and experiences of the community.

6. Recognition of Community Knowledge Community distribution and exhibition recognize the community's knowledge, understood as a living social fabric.

7. Contextual Response and Local Adaptation Community distribution and exhibition, as well as their production, respond to local contexts and the territories where they are developed.

8. Ongoing Dialogue with the Community Community distribution and exhibition are not mere activities but processes of ongoing dialogue with the community.

9. Integration with Existing Community Structures Our paradigm acknowledges existing community structures; it does not replace them but builds upon them. In this sense, we integrate film circuits into the community's way of life.

10. Long-Term Projects and Permanent Networks We communalize persistent, continuous projects designed for the long term. We aim to create permanent exhibition networks.

11. Critical Perspective on Technology We hold a critical perspective on technology. We adapt to existing communicative tools and spaces in each territory to expand their impact.

12. Accessibility as a Worldview Accessibility, more than a requirement of our work, is a worldview.

13. Championing Plural Perspectives We champion films with a plurality of perspectives and stories.

14. Dignifying Distribution and Exhibition Work We dignify the work involved in a distribution and exhibition circuit and ensure self-care and long-term sustainability of the community structure and organization around this effort.

15. Alliances with Global South Communities We create alliances between communities and organizations in the Global South. We share and replicate knowledge generated and systematized collectively. We are in a constant process of learning.

16. Promoting Community-Oriented Cinema We promote the circulation and visibility of community-oriented cinema.

17. Inclusion of Local Artistic Expressions We include other local artistic and cultural expressions such as gastronomy, music, dance, etc.

18. Questioning Our Vocabulary We question our own vocabulary. For example, would it be better to use the word "circulation" instead of "distribution"?

19. Cultural Autonomy as Our Horizon Community distribution and exhibition are guided by our cultural autonomy.
