Festival Internacional de Cine Fine Arts (9)

映画祭の開始: 03 10月 2019      映画祭の終了: 14 10月 2018

Every year, the Festival presents documentaries, short films and films that are divided into Official Selection, Information Section, Premium Operas, among others. In addition, actors, directors and personalities that participate in different forums and activities of cultural and cinematographic interest are invited. Some of the artists and personalities that have visited us in the past years are: Paco León, Pablo Trapero, Martina Gusmán, Johnny Pacheco, Marlon Moreno, Manolo Cardona, Frank Perozo, Marianela Sinisterra, Jorge Alberti, Jacobo Morales, Denise Quiñones and Mirta Ibarra, among others.

The films that make up the Official Selection participate in several awards such as: Audience Award, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film and Best Director. To achieve a fair selection, 5 members of the Jury are chosen, composed of people related to the film industry and with a great willingness to evaluate each of these films in an objective and very professional manner.

The goal of each year is to surpass the previous year and continue offering an artistic space where variety and quality predominate in each piece that is exhibited.
