The Arquitectura Film Festival Santiago
ArqFilmFest was born in 2012 as the first architecture and film festival in Chile and Latin America. With five successful editions, the last one of them done online during the pandemic, returns this 2024 to inaugurate its second decade as a space of reunion for creators, professionals and enthusiastic inhabitants, all interested in being part of a community that explores the intersection between film and architecture.
Cinemas and architecture have a deep conection, where space and time meet to activate our emotions. This edition of the festival invites to explore how the architecture can evoke memories, hide stories or connect people with their surroundings in a significant way. It is a call to be moved through the architectural experience, as much as on the screen as out of it.
This project is financed by the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio through the regional Fondart, in the line of Organización de Muestras, Ferias, Encuentros y Festivales, calling 2024.
