Pichikeche ()

Festival start: 15 February 2021      Festival end: 22 February 2021

The Pichikeche Children's Film Festival in 2015 in the Lanco commune with the purpose of contributing to the generation of spaces to spread the audiovisual language in children of the region of Ríos, Chile. During the consolidation process of this Festival, there has been expanding into other networks and territories interested in participating in this initiative.

Because we know that online has come to stay and due to national and international contingency we have decided to keep the online version and the same time reactivate our itinerant spirit. In this edition we are going to visit the 12 municipalities in our region and their most isolated locations, maintaining all the sanitary measures established by our other authorities taking the film from where it has never been before.

Cash Prizes: 500€
