Oruro Film Festival

IMPORTANT Due to the COVID pandemic we will have to move the date of the Festival to March. We will carry out a hybrid edition with few functions in the city, as long as the health protocol allows it. New final deadline: January 5, 2021 ********************************* The Oruro International Film Festival is headquartered in the city of Oruro (Plurinational State of Bolivia). The city is known for its cultural and folkloric wealth, being the Oruro Carnival its greatest expression. This Carnival, which annually gathers thousands of national and international visitors, was declared in 2001 as "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO, thus recognizing the multicultural and religious value it expresses. The Festival, whose ninth edition will be held from January 14 to 21, 2021, aims to recognize and disseminate national and international cinematographic works that show strong artistic, aesthetic and human values. ------------------------------------------ El Festival Internacional de Cine de Oruro tiene como sede principal la ciudad de Oruro (Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia).
