Cinema as a social phenomenon has become one of the most innovative and enriching cultural consumptions and practices of the XX century. Cinema changes us but the transformation that film provokes is not just individual. We’re also asking for as a community. Therefore, cinema must be understood as a cultural vehicle; a complex device which catalyze the yearnings and portraits of a society; as a producer of subjectivities. 

​

For the city of Chivilcoy an international film festival represents a chimerical cultural proposal. Its background is based on previous experiences that bond these individual and collective practices: shootings, film’s retrospectives, workshops, festivals and other events that take place in our town. This whole set of inputs is a key component, coupled with the suitable reaction of the local public who are eager to rejoice at the "seventh art" and to enjoy a festival as a space for exchange, dialogue and circulation of cultural goods.

We are living an exceptional times in Argentina with a government decided to destroy the cinema industry (and many others too). But we don't want to give up this community space that has taken so much effort to build. We know we can count on you.
