Morelia: FICM, Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 25
The 24th FICM (#FICM2026) lists six venues, among them Cinépolis Centro and Teatro Melchor Ocampo. Times are printed per screening, with no festival-wide start time. Per the festival's page, tickets are Tradicional or VIP, with photo accreditation in packs of 6 or 11 tickets, sold through Cinépolis (website, app, box offices, kiosks) and its programación page. Each screening goes on sale two days before at 10:00 and is released again on the day at 10:00, even if presale sold out. Our listing links only the home page. Source: moreliafilmfest.com.
Mar del Plata: Thursday, November 5 to Sunday, November 15
The 41st edition. The Spanish news item prints "del 5 al 15 de noviembre"; the English launch article has a typo in the end date, so we follow the Spanish. Per the festival's page, the seller is Miboletería (register and log in): packs of 5 or 10 tickets on sale until October 15, priority redemption Tuesday, October 20 to Monday, October 26, general sale from Tuesday, October 27. Its Entradas and Programación pages still read "Información en desarrollo." A local press snippet, not an official page, hinted at a venue dispute around Teatro Auditorium. It is unverified, and the official venues page still lists it first. Source: mardelplatafilmfest.com. More in our Mar del Plata guide.
Bogotá: BOGOSHORTS, Tuesday, December 1 to Tuesday, December 8
The 24th Bogotá Short Film Festival (#24BOGOSHORTS) names twelve venues, including Cinemateca de Bogotá and Teatro Colón. No seller or ticket categories are printed. Accreditation comes as Público, Industria BFM or Prensa, and the "BOGOSHORTS bajo la luna" programmes are marked "ENTRADA LIBRE." Its schedule links still point to 2025 documents, so the 2026 competition lineup is unconfirmed. Source: festival.bogoshorts.com. More in our Bogotá guide.
Los Cabos: FICC, Wednesday, December 9 to Sunday, December 13
The 14th edition, in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur (#BEYONDTHESCREEN). The page prints no venue list, jury, ticket categories or box-office date, only "Pre-regístrate" for the programme and box-office news. Source: ficloscabos.org.
