FRONTERA SUR FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE CINE DE NO FICCIÓN

Frontera Sur is a non-competitive international festival that began in 2017 in Concepción, Southern Chile. It showcases both documentary work and those residing in a less-defined territory between fiction and documentary, between narrative and experimental works, exploring new and narrative aesthetic forms that don’t fit within the commercial circuit. It focuses on auteur, borderline, independent, risk-taking, and innovative cinema.
