Oaxaca Sports Film Festival 2027 - Where Film and Sports Inspire the World

Welcome to the Oaxaca Sports Film Festival 2027, an international event dedicated to celebrating the power of film to tell the stories that arise from sports.

Based in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, our festival brings together filmmakers, athletes, producers, and lovers of cinema to screen works that explore the discipline, passion, resilience, and social impact of sports on the lives of individuals and communities.

We believe that sports are much more than just competition: they are a tool for transformation, inclusion, identity, and hope. That is why we seek films that inspire, move, and provoke reflection—ranging from widely recognized disciplines such as soccer, boxing, and track and field to emerging and extreme sports, as well as traditional sporting expressions from different cultures.

Our goal is to provide a platform for emerging and established filmmakers from around the world, promoting stories that connect with diverse audiences through the universal language of sports.

Whether your film explores personal growth, teamwork, inclusion, high performance, health, or the challenges athletes face both on and off the field, the 2027 Oaxaca Sports Film Festival is the place to share it.
