Each year, FICCI interprets the particular circumstances of Colombia, Ibero-America, and the world, offering a world-class edition guided by the preservation of freedom and the expansion of cultural dialogue through films, industry gatherings, and academic events that are relevant, human, subtle, and in constant conversation with its audience and cultural stakeholders. The festival seeks to be a space for encounter and exchange, a platform to elevate human awareness, strengthen democracy, and contribute to the creation of free, inclusive, and conscious societies.
