The International Festival of New Latin American Cinema today opened registration for works for its 47th edition, which will take place in the Cuban capital from December 3 to 13.

The call for entries will remain open until August 15 in the competitive categories of fiction feature film, documentary, first work, short film, and animation.

Productions will also be accepted in the “Other Territories” section (alternative narrative proposals), “Arrecife,” dedicated to queer themes, as well as unpublished scripts and posters related to regional cinema.

Interested filmmakers must submit works with Latin American or Caribbean themes that were completed between 2025 and 2026, the organizing committee specified.

Titles that participated in previous editions of the Festival or were shown at other cinematic events in Cuba will be excluded, although they may be considered for non-competitive showcases such as “Latin America in Perspective” and the “International Panorama.”

Among the awards are the Coral Prizes for the best works in each category, the Special Jury Coral, as well as recognitions for direction, screenplay, cinematography, acting, original music, and editing, the call added.

Registration must be done exclusively through the festival's website or at its offices in the Cuban capital; details are available on that platform and the event's social media.
