I cannot find any significant coverage of this organization in reliable sources. There's a long list of citations, but almost all are to the organization's various websites, along with some press releases and broken links to tourism websites for good measures.
The only two cited sources that seem independent (although probably not reliable) are
a post on shortfilm.de and
another on ismailmartin.com (in Spanish). But these are actually criticizing these supposed film festivals as scams or psuedofestivals!
This seems like a pretty obvious case of "predatory festivals" (the film world cousin of
predatory journals). I say we delete it with prejudice. —

Delete: I am not opposed to having an article about a pseudo festival, but this one needs to be rewritten from the ground up, per
WP:TNT. Regards,

Yeah, there's nothing inherently problematic about writing about a "pseudofestival"—I was thinking about it primarily as a sign that it's not the kind of genuine event that's likely to get coverage in reliable sources.—
