Good news for all film lovers. The 16th edition of BAFICI (Buenos Aires Feria Internacional de Cine Independiente) is coming up very so back today! From April 2-13, you can enjoy a large spectrum of movies in the whole city of Buenos Aires.

The festival will be opened with the animation film of director Ari Folman, “The Congress”, with Robin Wright and Harvey Keitel. This film was made by six countries: Israel, Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, France and Belgium, and was filmed in Los Angeles, California.
