Festival start: 09 December 2024
Festival end: 13 December 2024
In 2024, the Iquique International Film Festival (Ficiqq) will celebrate its 15th anniversary. Ficiqq is a unique event in the Tarapacá region that is financed on this occasion by the 2024 Audiovisual Development Fund, and is sponsored by SQM Yodo Nutrición Vegetal and produced by Volcánica Films.
The awards will be announced closer to the event dates.
Ficiqq will take place in December 2024 and will have as its main objective to promote and disseminate cinema in the Tarapacá region, through a free and international cultural event. The consolidation of the venues in Iquique and its surroundings, added to the open-air exhibitions, are part of the responsibility that we have as cultural managers, to expand culture to cities that have little access to events of such magnitude.
All official information will be published on our website www.festivalcineiquique.com, official Facebook www.facebook.com/festivalcineiquique, official Instagram @ficiqq and associated media.
