DESCRIPTION

The FENAVID International Film Festival is held annually in the city of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Organized by the Audiovisual Foundation (FUNDAV), the Festival has become the most important film event in Bolivia and one of the most relevant in Latin America.

Since its first version, held in 2001, more than 10,000 audiovisual works from 30 countries have been presented at this meeting, which has transcended the borders of Bolivia and America.

In each version, FENAVID offers the public more than 150 screenings of feature films, short films, music videos and a series of audiovisual works that are shown free of charge to the public.

FENAVID always has first class guests. The event was attended by internationally renowned personalities, such as Celso Franco, star of "7 boxes", Colombian actress Marisol Correa, Alexandre Rodrigues and Leandro Firmino de Hora (stars of the acclaimed Brazilian film "City of God"), Argentine producer Vanessa Ragone (winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 2010), the Bolivian directors Marcos Loayza and Rodrigo Bellot and the Argentine actress Aymará Rovera, to name a few.

Beyond the glamor and film screenings, FENAVID is a macro meeting in which producers, directors, actors, specialists and a whole multitude of people passionate about cinema converge.

During the days of its realization, the Festival has a series of parallel activities, such as children's film shows, video clip contest, workshops, talks, colloquiums and debates.

One of the most anticipated events of FENAVID is the Santa Cruz 100X100 Film Production Meeting. It consists of bringing together 25 emerging film talents in Latin America. The chosen ones travel to Santa Cruz de la Sierra and, during the festival, have the mission of producing a short film in 100 hours.
