BASIFF2026: A SPACE FOR DIALOGUE, MEETING, AND REFLECTION

Baños de Agua Santa International Film Festival reaches its fourth edition with the firm purpose of continuing to contribute to the exhibition, celebration, and promotion of universal cinema in all its expressions and trends.

We digitally award and certify feature films, documentaries, and short films in sections for professionals, amateurs, and students, expanding opportunities for both national and international participation. This year, works will be screened on our networks, provided the authors authorize their distribution.

In addition, we will hold the traditional online meeting of directors and film students, as a space for dialogue, reflection, and project negotiation.

BASIFF has consolidated and launched the Locations Films Service project; those who attend in person will be able to enjoy a tour of filming locations in our region.
