Festival Internacional De Cine De Norte De Santander (8)

Festival start: 01 September 2025      Festival end: 06 September 2025

Frontera Films Corporation from the city of Cúcuta is organizing the 8th International Film Festival of Norte de Santander.

Welcome to the participants of this edition in 2025. We are seeking enthusiasts and professionals in the audiovisual world who want to take part in the call for entries for the 8th International Film Festival of Norte de Santander.

The 8th International Film Festival of Norte de Santander is organized by Frontera Films Corporation. It emerges from the need to create a film industry in the region, from the Colombian-Venezuelan border and from an educational and training perspective. Our goal is to promote cinema in the department of Norte de Santander and the border region, making it the most important festival in the northeastern part of Colombia.

With the aim of showcasing Norte de Santander as a department that engages in audiovisual dynamics, we will have hybrid and semi-presential events in the cities of Cúcuta, Los Patios, Pamplona, and Villa del Rosario, as well as virtual events. Therefore, similar to last year, the festival will feature in-person screenings of short and feature films.

CONVERSATIONS, WORKSHOPS, AND JURIES:

There will be conversations, workshops, and talks with professionals from the national film industry.

The juries will consist of qualified individuals and professionals in the national film industry, as well as representatives from the festival organization.

More events will be announced soon.

Due to budget constraints and financial adjustments, this year we will not be awarding cash prizes to the best short films in the national categories; however, each outstanding work will receive its respective recognition.
