The Viña del Mar International Film Festival is the oldest in the country and the second oldest in Latin America. It was founded as an initiative of filmmaker and physician Aldo Francia and the Viña del Mar Film Club. It was the birthplace of the New Latin American Cinema and the New Chilean Cinema. It ceased operations in 1969, after six editions, and was revived with great success in 1990. This year marks its 38th edition, which will take place from November 23 to 28.
