SANFIC

SANFIC, Santiago International Film Festival, is a cinematic, cultural, artistic, industrial and educational platform, as well as a privileged symbol for the city and the country of Chile.

In its eleventh version –SANFIC11– producers, directors, distributors, film critics, actors and audiences converge around the most recent and important productions from Chile and the world, giving Santiago and the whole country a unique context in which to come together and enjoy high-quality, current material.

The excellent results obtained in SANFIC10 –numerous attendance, international visitors, quality and novelty of the films shown, wide press coverage, diverse additional activities with high attendance and the growth we have seen in the important space SANFIC Industria– confirmed that SANFIC has become a referent for Chilean and international cinematic work: a cultural window through which Chile peeks and connects with the world. 

SANFIC11 has two feature film competitions: an international one, in which we include films from around the world; and a Chilean cinema competition, where the most recent local productions participate. Also, the Local Talent short film competition. Alongside this, we include a complete panorama of recent international feature films and a Work in Progress section for Latin American films in developmental stages.

The Festival’s parallel activities include panels, expositions and lectures dictated by important personalities of the local and international cinematic world, stemming from the universes of cinema, industry, education and culture.
