FICCI

About

Founded in 1960, the Cartagena International Film Festival (FICCI) is the longest-running event of its kind in Latin America. The focus remains on Latin American film, but we will be celebrating new trends in world cinema, while our “100% Colombian” section will showcase a select pick of the most recent Colombian-made films, many of which will be making their national and international debuts.
