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.
The Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival (FICCI) is the oldest and most permanent forum in the Americas for Colombian, Ibero-American, and world cinema. Actively present on the global cinematic map since 1960, its 65th edition will continue to offer spaces for memory, reflection, a diversity of voices, and, as always, for the finest cinephilia.
The Festival values the creative freedom of filmmakers from around the world, welcoming works of any format, length, nationality, theme, genre, or technique. We seek films that meet the highest standards of quality, dare to take narrative risks, and offer proposals of great human and cinematic value, with pertinence and a vision of sustainability.

In which we will have projections of the competitive sections, special functions, as well as academic activities and of training that promote criticism and reflection.
