Other embassies, such as those of Canada, Switzerland, Morocco, and many others, had the opportunity to screen their films at the National Cinema Center, offering the public an immersive experience of a variety of works.

The closing ceremony featured the screening of the acclaimed Haitian film Freda by director Gessica Geneus, which captivated the audience with its emotional power and authentic portrayal of contemporary Haitian society.
