Special Drive-in edition!

In 2021 José Ignacio International Film Festival adapts and presents a special edition in drive-in mode. The program premieres international feature films and an Uruguayan Short Film Competition. The sunsets continue to be part of the show and the traditional venues give space – for this edition – to new locations that reveal more of José Ignacio’s charismatic views. The 11th edition of JIIFF is held on January 19th-23rd. It will be a double screening to give greater accessibility to our limited space. Advance booking is mandatory to guarantee the comfort of each spectator.

Tickets on sale from Wednesday, January 13th! ¡Join us!
