Since its first edition, the Santo Domingo Global Film Festival (FCGSD) has taken firm steps to grow both nationally and internationally while remaining true to its mission. The festival aims to offer Dominicans, as well as all visitors to the country during the event, the opportunity to access the unique perspective that cinema provides on "global issues" through "personal stories."

Students, filmmakers, and cinema lovers,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the fifteenth edition of the LANTERNA International University Film Festival.

This is no ordinary edition: we’re celebrating fifteen years of stories, voices, and narratives that have crossed our lives and left a mark.

I invite you to be part of [...]
