SANFIC — Santiago International Film Festival

The festival

For one week, Santiago becomes the capital of Ibero-American cinema. The Santiago International Film Festival — SANFIC — lines up its competitions: international, Chilean cinema and national talent in short films, with world premieres and co-productions from Spain, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.

The 22nd edition, from 2 to 8 November 2026, celebrated 22 years of cinema; its awards ceremony was held at the Teatro Oriente. And while the films are being shown, SANFIC Industria — the industry strand, holding its 15th edition from 2 to 6 November — moves tomorrow's films forward: more than 50 distinctions for projects in development or finishing, in financial support, training and post-production services. The Argentine project Las termas, by Armin Marchesini Weihmuller, received post-production services valued at US$50,000 (colour grading, digital masters and sound design, at Chemistry), in addition to a financial support of US$5,000 from the Río Fundación.

The 23rd edition is expected in November 2027, when its calls for films open. Festival TV will follow it closely.
