Buenos Aires International Film Festival (BUEIFF)

About

Buenos Aires International Film Festival (BUEIFF) is the largest festival in Argentina. An Official IMDb qualifying competition!

The Festival is a semi-annual season. Every year, the BUEIFF has two editions (September-February and March-August) and one annual event that unites its winners. Recent Event 2022: Granada, Spain.

The BUEIFF has been the first South American Festival to celebrate its event in another continent (Europe). In 2020 it was selected to integrate the Top 100 Best-Reviewed Film Festivals in the world by FilmFreeway.

We believe that cinema is a magic tool that speaks a universal language, which allows the ability to unite people from all over the world in an instant. More than 120 countries participating in the BUEIFF competitions!
Our goal is to encourage independent and professional filmmakers of all nationalities to share their passion worldwide through our Festival.
