The 30th edition of the FIDOCS documentary film festival will take place from November 12 to 19 in Santiago, Chile. The anniversary program features approximately 60 titles across various categories, including National, International, and Emerging Shorts, as well as special functions and restored classics.

Key themes for this edition include childhood, territory, exile, migration, memory, dictatorship, and the Palestinian cause.
