The Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival (FICCI) is a cinematographic event with a social and cultural vision and, by choice, free and open to all. Each year, FICCI interprets the particular circumstances of Colombia, Ibero-America, and the world, offering a world-class edition guided by the preservation of freedom and the expansion of cultural dialogue through films, industry gatherings, and academic events that are relevant, human, subtle, and in constant conversation with its audience and cultural stakeholders. The festival seeks to be a space for encounter and exchange, a platform to elevate human awareness, strengthen democracy, and contribute to the creation of free, inclusive, and conscious societies.

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.
