Whether you are studying abroad in Buenos Aires<\/a>, living here, or just passing through the city as a tourist, BAFICI is a festival that shouldn’t be missed. The 20th Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema (BAFICI)\u00a0begins today<\/strong>,\u00a0April 11 and is a great opportunity to experience the latest cinematic innovations that Argentina, and the world, has to offer. BAFICI is one of many must-see festivals in Buenos Aires<\/a> and is the most important independent film festival in Latin America. This year, the festival has expanded\u00a0to hold\u00a0screenings in 36 theaters in 15 different Buenos Aires neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Tickets for\u00a0most films only cost $40 pesos for students ($55 for general admission). Online ticket sales began on Monday April 2 and can be printed at home or picked up at several different locations. Additionally, there are free outdoor film screenings in Parque Centenario<\/a>, Costanera Sur, and Parque Saavedra.<\/p>\n

This year, the twentieth anniversary of the festival, BAFICI is larger than every before, including 107 world premieres. World-renowned names in independent cinema, John Waters and Philippe Garrel will be screening some of their most popular films, hosting public chats, and even showing some of their favorite gems of Argentine cinema.<\/p>\n

The Argentine film industry has historically been one of the three most developed in Latin America (the others being Mexico and Brazil).\u00a0Argentina was the first Latin American country to win an Academy Award and is the most awarded country by the Goya Awards for Best\u00a0Iberoamerican Film. Buenos Aires’ film schools have been recognized as some of the best in the world<\/a> and have built the foundation for the unique film culture of the city.\u00a0Flim production in Argentina, supported by the State and by many extremely talented and inspired directors and actors, has become one of the most major film industries in the Spanish-speaking world.<\/p>\n
