The Latin American Film Week will take place over five consecutive days, with its official venues at Arthaus and Cine Arte Cacodelphia in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December 2026.

During the event, special activities will accompany the screenings, including training workshops, forums, and networking opportunities for industry professionals.
