FIDOCS, the international documentary film festival of Santiago, has become established as the main meeting place, means of dissemination and competition for documentaries in Chile. As well as the International Panorama section, the festival has three main competition sections designed to promote the showing of non-fiction films, both national and international. Among them is the national competition for work in progress, Primer Corte FIDOCS, where the panel, as well as choosing a winner, gives the filmmakers useful feedback to apply to the postproduction of their films and to encourage their dissemination and sales.
Spain was the guest country at the 2017 edition of FIDOCS. With its Mobility grants, AC/E supported the participation of Adrián Orr, Lois Patiño, Manuel Muñoz and Jaione Camborda in the festival’s new features which include exhibitions, competitions and meetings with the Chilean public and industry. They also took part in a roundtable entitled ‘Spain Guest Country FIDOCS 2017’ which discussed the current state of Spanish nonfiction films from the point of view of filmmakers and festival curators.
