Sanfic Industria, the industry section of the Santiago International Film Festival (Sanfic), is turbocharged for an even stronger edition this year. Running concurrently with the festival, which runs Nov. 2 – 8, Sanfic Industria unspools Nov. 2-6 with Sanfic co-founder Gabriela Sandoval at the helm.

Now on its 15th year, Sanfic Industria has several new additions to its programming, led by the participation of the Sitges’ Woman In Fan Lab initiative, a newly expanded Santiago-Guadalajara Queer Incubator backed by Netflix, the inaugural online Fantastic WIP, a selection of genre pix in post, and Books at Berlinale 2027 to mark Chile’s guest of honor involvement at the Frankfurt Book Fair next year. Several prizes, in cash and kind, are at stake.
