In formal terms:

In the sense of peaceful co-operation and friendship between peoples, UNICA
promotes international understanding and collaboration, in particular in the field of art, culture, education and science, in accordance with the principles of the UNESCO.

UNICA, as a rule, achieves its purpose with the following activities:

• congresses and General Assemblies
• international film and video competitions
• international exchange of non-commercial films
• international seminars
• debates on new concepts and theories about art and culture
• film shows and exchange of experience between countries
• publishing

In short: Promoting Non-Commercial Film & Video Making.

In practice it brings together people with similar interests in amateur film and video production from all over the world.
