The Santiago International Documentary Film Festival (FIDOCS) is the main broadcasting, diffusion, and competition event for documentary cinema in Chile and Latin America.
Focused on the promotion of dialogue and reflection, as well as in training audiences towards the appreciation of documentary film in a context of permanent transformation, FIDOCS seeks to explore the multiple paths available in documentary making as well as in the drifts proper to nonfiction works. In its program, FIDOCS incorporates the works of both experienced and emerging directors in order to address the question of “THE REAL”, and in doing so, it considers the various dimensions, disciplinary frontiers, and tensions that the question “what is real?”, as well as the documentary genre itself, has to offer us.
Throughout its history, FIDOCS has positioned itself as one of the most distinguished documentary film festivals in Latin America, standing as a privileged platform to screen contemporary cinema and to promote critical thinking. Year by year, under its selective curatorial approach, FIDOCS not only calls for important exponents of national and international audiovisual sectors to exhibit their work in Santiago, but also, in using this city as a film hub, it calls on such exponents to question, interpret, and re-write the status of contemporary documentary film practice today.
For the promotion, positioning, and exhibition of Chilean and International films, FIDOCS displays three main competitions. These sections include: INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION; CHILEAN COMPETITION, and EMERGENT SHORT COMPETITION FOR NATIONAL FILMS.
In addition, FIDOCS has the main industry activity, DOCS IN PROGRESS, for Latin-American works in progress where the jury (editors, directors, sound designers, producers, programmers), in addition to choosing a winner, feeds the filmmakers to carry out the post-production of their films and encourage their diffusion and transmission. This section is jointly run together with WIP section of CHILEDOC CONECTA.
The festival also has important training and extension activities in its FIDOCS SCHOOL, where students from film schools and communications from all over Chile so that its most outstanding students are in an intergenerational and interdisciplinary space with international and national festival guests; attending Master Classes, workshops, dialogues, among others.
In addition, in keeping with its interdisciplinary vocation, FIDOCS intends to accompany its screenings of other artistic interventions such as installations, exhibitions, performances, that from their own expressive means dialogue with the documentary concept. This is how FIDOCS EXPANDED section arises, where various artists, video-artists and filmmakers, all of them linked to the fields of sound or visuals, exhibit their work.
Finally, the chosen films will be screened after the completion of the festival, in different regions of Chile and abroad, at BEST OF FIDOCS section. The purpose is the cultural extension of the festival at a territorial level, putting emphasis on the circulation of the films at the regional level, being able to program replicas in the national territory as well as abroad.
*FIDOCS will be held with theatrical screenings.

WHAT YOU MUST DO:
GIVE US THE SCREENER DOWNLOAD ACCESS LINK! It is very IMPORTANT
Festivals need access to films to be able to screen films. Without films screenings at festivals cannot take place. Hence, for participation we need the screener. Due to past bad experience, the data's long travelling distance from one continent to other during playback of films "on the fly" for example European in excess of 10,000km distance away from Australia, continuous and frequent frame freezes ocured during the event, the movies keeps stopping and starting as there was no continuous connection, low bandwidth and relatively slow speed (Australia has a slower internet than many countries around the world). Its a fact.
Nobody wants to watch a film that keeps stopping and starting.
This kind of technical glitch makes some films unwatchable, if played back from Vimeo, Festhome listing platform. Hence a screener download is a MUST be provided so it an be watched flawlessly, without interruptions, and without getting skipping, lagging frames etc. Thank you for your understanding. CIFF Admin

MISSION
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival, creates reflections based on film, diverse artistic and academic proposals, individual and organizational experiences, and social movements, in order to generate an interdisciplinary analysis that impacts commonly widespread approaches to gender.
WHAT IS IMPERFECTU?
With the word “imperfectu” we give new value to the concept of imperfection, against the overvalued concept of perfection. The ending “-tu” avoids the use of spanish language gender morpheme (imperfecto/imperfecta) in the adjective of the noun “imperfection”, while referring to the spanish pronoun “tú” (you) in order to intervene in the relationship with those who read us, alluding them/you in the word: Imperfectu. This play on words then continues and extends between English and Spanish: I’m perfect u, Imperfect u, or I’m perfectu. “Imperfectu” is a proposed adjective that seeks to identify those who have been positioned outside the norm because they somehow transgress the binary system of sex, gender, and heteronormativity.
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival explores, through film, art, and gender studies, the infinite possibilities that the fields of sex, gender, and sexuality offer us, questioning the convictions to which the standardized system of gender and sexual normativity limit us.
The festival implements an analysis and multiple reflections that affect the representations commonly disseminated with respect to gender. The proposal defends the diversity of identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations, while encompassing varied and alternative feminisms.
Imperfectu was born in the city of Tijuana the first days of April 2014 with the idea of consolidating an annual meeting with local, national, and international representation, by the end of July 2015 it returns with a second edition, and in 2016 travels to Mexico City for its third edition.
In 2017, the fourth edition will be held in Tijuana, Mexico, from November 16 to the 18. This edition of Imperfectu will have as its central axis the relationship between Body, Science, and Technology. The objective is to bring interested audiences a programing that showcases cinema that has been and is being made surrounding various topics, such as: postgenderism, cyberfeminism, cyborg anthropology, disability and transhumanism, the intersex body and medicine, the transgender body and medicine, gender / sexuality and robots, the future of contraceptive methods, eugenics, girls / young women and new technologies, queer/cyborg identity and aesthetics, rejuvenation technology, and immortality.
