Who is behind this festival is Federico Sykes, who expressed that the main purpose is to "disseminate that, although deaf people are a minority, we have potential, talent and the same rights to access cultural property as any other person”.

It is worth noting that the FiCSor is endorsed by the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) and the Argentine Network of Festivals and Audiovisual Shows (RAFMA). It was also declared of Cultural Interest by the Province of Misiones and the Argentine Confederation of the Deaf..
