As its name suggests, the festival takes place in Santiago, Chile.

Along with the well-known Valdivia International Film Festival, SANFIC has become one of the most prestigious film festivals of Chile and South America.

The judging panel and jury are made up of international and Chilean experts from the film industry.

SANFIC 2014 (the 10th edition) took place between the 21 and 26 of October, and screened more than 90 titles from 30 countries, some of which had won prizes at the world's most prestigious film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Sundance, among others).
