- Diverse spotlight on women and non-binary filmmakers — FEMCINE’s core is films made by women and non-binary people from Chile and across Latin America, plus international picks. That mix pushes beyond familiar festival fare: you’ll see intersectional stories, Indigenous and queer perspectives, and films you simply won’t find in mainstream cinemas.
- Post-screening Q&As and candid conversations — Filmmakers and activists stick around for real talk: creative choices, funding headaches, political context, and what the film means back home. It’s where the festival stops being a show and becomes a classroom/argument/party. (Personal favorite — these chats make the films live on.)
- Hands-on workshops and labs — Practical sessions on everything from low-budget shooting and editing to distribution

- Hands-on workshops and labs — Practical sessions on everything from low-budget shooting and editing to distribution strategies and archiving. Great if you’re a traveler with some downtime and want actionable skills, plus they’re prime for meeting collaborators without the slick industry pressure.
- Experimental and expanded cinema programs — Expect video art, live cinema performances, and multimedia pieces that blur film, sound, and installation. It’s a good place to see how storytelling gets played with when people aren’t trying to fit a commercial mold.
- Community screenings and city takeovers — Pop-ups in cafes, cultural centers, and public spaces create a grassroots, neighborhood vibe. You get late-night screenings, local food stalls, and the kind of informal conversations that lead to tips about offbeat bars or a free ride to a nearby beach—perfect for budget travelers.
