Santander Festival Internacional De Cine Independiente (2025) - SANFICI ()

Festival start: 24 February 2025      Festival end: 28 February 2025

SANFICI is a space to generate meetings at different levels, with an overcoming and innovative will. First of all, it is a space for the relationship between spectators, filmmakers and theorists around cinema and all border and heterodox manifestations. Secondly, it is a special and temporary meeting point.

SANFICI wants to become, year after year, the place of convergence for world independent cinema. But it also wants to be the space where the past and the future dialogue. The place where the most diverse film traditions are embraced with their riskiest proposals.

All categories are competitive and have different types of recognition.

Once the film is selected for participation, it cannot be removed from the Festival programming, nor can it be exhibited in any other film curatorial space in Colombia before its official screening at SANFICI.
