The role of FICValdivia in the contemporary Chilean cinema
Abstract
This article aims to analyze the role that the Valdivia International Film Festival has had in the context and development of contemporary Chilean cinema. FICValdivia has consolidated itself as a crucial space for the Chilean and Latin American film industry and cinephilia, establishing itself as a central node in the global network of film festivals. By observing its history, it is possible to establish how the festival has become the exhibition space for Chilean cinema, and for a film industry that visits the festival year after year. Being part of FICValdivia is key for those who are starting their careers as filmmakers as well as for directors committed to a more authorial filmmaking. This is how the festival has positioned itself as a promoter of auteur cinema, of a certain type of Chilean cinema that will later circulate in film festivals in Chile and abroad.Keywords:
