Santander International Independent Film Festival (2027) - SANFICI

Logo of Santander International Independent Film Festival (2027) - SANFICI

SANFICI is a space to generate meetings at different levels, with an overcoming and innovative will. First of all, it is a space for the relationship between spectators, filmmakers and theorists around cinema and all border and heterodox manifestations. Secondly, it is a special and temporary meeting point.

SANFICI wants to become, year after year, the place of convergence for world independent cinema. But it also wants to be the space where the past and the future dialogue. The place where the most diverse film traditions are embraced with their riskiest proposals.

The Terrícola Audiovisual Festival arises with the purpose of promoting audiovisual production from the country and neighboring countries, from Patagonia, and from the Andean Comarca in particular, creating a meeting space for filmmakers, the general public, locals, and tourists.

There are no content limits set for participation in the festival: all of History will be the subject of the works presented.

The 4th International Diverse Film Festival marks a new chapter in the artistic and curatorial evolution of the festival. Under the concept “Revealed Memory,” this edition explores cinema as a living archive capable of preserving stories, identities, emotions, and experiences that have shaped the ways we understand diversity.

Rather than defining the selection criteria, “Revealed Memory” serves as the curatorial framework that inspires this year’s festival. We welcome fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, and hybrid short films that explore the diverse experiences, perspectives, and narratives of LGBTQIA+ communities across a wide range of genres, styles, and artistic approaches.
