This year’s vision will be an invitation to reflect on a cinema that embraces Latin American diversity, rather than pursuing a model tailored to satisfy those colonial perspectives that seek to dictate what cinema in our continent should be.
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.). In the same way, Colombian feature films that align with the curatorial line will also be accepted.

Bogotá Horror Film Festival
A window into horror, fantasy, and the power of Latin American genre cinema.
The Bogotá Horror Film Festival is a space dedicated to the promotion, exhibition, and creation of genre cinema, with a special focus on horror, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. Since its founding in 2019, it has established itself as a meeting point for filmmakers, audiences, and industry professionals who share a passion for intense, unsettling, and transformative narratives.
Over its six editions, the festival has developed a strong program that includes screenings of national and international short and feature films, training workshops, talks, and special activities. In its sixth edition alone, held from October 22 to 26, 2024, 818 people participated in on-site activities. The program featured 18 national short films, 10 international short films, 5 national feature films, 6 Latin American feature films, and 5 international feature films.
Throughout its trajectory, the Bogotá Horror Film Festival has gone beyond the borders of the capital, reaching audiences in municipalities such as Facatativá, Zipaquirá, and Mosquera, expanding access to genre cinema for new audiences and territories. In addition, its promotional strategy has integrated digital media, social networks, and traditional media to strengthen audience engagement and increase the visibility of emerging works and filmmakers.
The festival also plays a fundamental educational role. In 2024, it offered five practical workshops with more than 129 registered participants and 80 attendees in in-person sessions, covering topics such as screenwriting, music for horror films, acting techniques, and the use of artificial intelligence in audiovisual production.
As part of a strong collaborative network, the Bogotá Horror Film Festival is an active member of alliances and collectives such as FANLATAM (Latin American Fantastic Film Festival Network), Apocalipsis al Sur del Mundo, the Ibero-American Network of Genre Film Festivals, and ANAFe (National Association of Film, Showcase, and Audiovisual Events of Colombia). These networks help showcase local content on international stages and facilitate creative exchange among filmmakers across the region.
The Bogotá Horror Film Festival does not only open a screen for genre cinema: it opens paths, builds community, and projects the continent through stories that confront our fears, move us, and transform us.
