Festival start: 01 September 2024      Festival end: 30 September 2024

The Ensenada International Film Festival (FICE) invites you to participate in its first edition. It will take place in the City of Ensenada, Province of Buenos Aires on September, 2024 (the date of the festival can be modified within said month).

FICE's search will focus on cinematographic works that address a critical, poetic or aesthetic reflection around water. In this sense, water may appear as a central or tangential element in the development of narratives.

Because we are inhabited, stirred and agitated by this river that feeds us, from the FICE, we are looking for those works that, like water, can poetically penetrate all the reality that we are able to cover.

Awards

All those selected will receive a Certificate of Participation. Those who are winners in the National Competition will also receive a statuette and a diploma of recognition.
