Festival Audiovisual Terrícola (3)

Festival start: 05 September 2025      Festival end: 07 September 2025

The Terrícola Audiovisual Festival was created with the purpose of promoting national audiovisual production and that of neighboring countries, particularly from Patagonia and the Andean Region (Comarca Andina), by providing a space for filmmakers and the general public—locals and tourists alike—to come together.

Given the limited film infrastructure in the region, the festival aims to ensure equitable access to high-quality productions, foster the local audiovisual industry, and strengthen the cultural identity of the region.

In addition to screenings, the festival offers open talks and workshops on topics such as agroecology, ancestral knowledge, wildfire prevention, pollution, and the regional economy, with the goal of integrating local and territorial knowledge.
