XIX Festival de Cine de Bogota

Founded in 1984 to showcase Colombia filmmaking, the festival first expanded to include films from other Latin American countries and then films from around the world. The emphasis remains on Colombia and other underrepresented countries, however, making this a good place to see films beyond the mainstream. The festival awards its 'Pre-Colombia Circle Awards' for Best Film, Best New Director and Best Colombia Film. All films are to be shown in their original language with Spanish subtitles.
