I am pleased to share excellent news from Peru: “Cinema Within Cinema” is a new festival focused on documentaries about film-related topics. Its production team is passionate about the stories behind the movies, and I’m sure it will soon become an exciting meeting point for filmmakers from around the world.
— Alexandre O. Philippe, director of documentaries about cinema.
The International Festival “Cinema Within Cinema” (FECIDECI) will celebrate its first edition from Monday, June 15 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, with activities taking place in various venues across Peru.
This new film event offers a unique space entirely dedicated to films that reflect on cinema itself — its history, its creators, its audiences, and its power of representation.
The festival is conceived as a meeting point for filmmakers, researchers, students, critics, and film lovers, aiming to foster dialogue about how cinema observes itself, remembers itself, and reinvents itself.
Over the course of a week, there will be screenings, discussions, and masterclasses, all free of charge for attendees.
