FECIUCH is a public university film festival that seeks to promote audiovisual and cinematic culture at the national level, fostering the inclusion of regional schools and valuing audiovisual works not only for their artistic and social content, but also for their treatment of language, form, and critical perspective, created within student learning environments.
Through this festival, we aim to bring together a broad community of students, professors, and alumni, creating a diverse and open university meeting point—an artistic space for the community, an exhibition, discussion, and development for emerging voices and perspectives. We seek to promote contemporary cinema that, faced with the challenges of modernity and limited resources, embraces innovation and reinvention.
We believe in cinema that, far from replicating established formulas, dares to explore new perspectives, languages, and narrative forms. Cinema that, despite limited access to resources, amplifies the authenticity of its voices, creativity, and commitment to expression through learning and experimentation. This space seeks to showcase works born from the urgent need to create, engaging with the present and projecting the future of cinema from a student perspective, exploring and breaking down the established boundaries of the industry.
In this and future editions, we will work to expand our reach to promote and support the development of works at various stages of production, as well as serve as a bridge between university-based creative work and the industry. Furthermore, in this edition, we have partnered with UChile TV as a media partner and with the National School of Cinematographic Arts (ENAC) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, thus beginning a process of international expansion. The first stage of this collaboration is being carried out through non-competitive screenings, with the intention of gradually incorporating these into the festival's competitive framework.
The International Film Festival of the Central University (FICUC) and the Central University’s film program are once again present to invite students, alumni, and the public to the ninth edition of FICUC.

The ninth edition of FICUC opens its call for submissions to all types of national and Latin American short films created during academic periods at the undergraduate, graduate, master’s level, etc. Likewise, short films produced outside academic periods will be accepted, provided they are certified by the participants’ university (such as creation labs, research groups, etc.).
