The IFF Panamá Foundation extends its work beyond the annual festival through free educational workshops and permanent dialogue spaces. After thirteen successful editions, the festival has positioned itself as an essential bridge between the public, filmmakers, and the industry. Throughout the rest of the event, community screenings, scholarship programs, and the “First Look” and “Your Look” funds will be presented. These actions support the development of new talents and give international visibility to projects from Panama, Central America, and the Caribbean at different stages of production. On April 9, the IFF Panamá Industry Day will take place, a full-day session focused on training, idea exchange, and the growth of the audiovisual sector in the region. Ciudad del Saber, for its part, will be exclusively dedicated to free educational screenings for children. With this event, Panama consolidates itself once again as a vital space for the encounter between regional cinema and narratives that resonate globally. The International Film Festival of Panama (IFF Panamá) has confirmed the dates for its fourteenth edition, which will be held from April 9 to 12. In these spaces, screenings, conversations, and activities will be held that will bring together audiences, directors, and cultural professionals. It promotes cinema as a medium to express identities, generate conversations, and foster profound cultural changes. The main venues will include iconic locations in the city such as the National Theater, the City of Arts, and the Canal Museum. In the coming weeks, the organization will reveal more information about the complete programming, special guests, featured activities, and ticket sales for this 2026 edition. This initiative reinforces the festival's educational focus and encourages an early approach to the seventh art. This space seeks to strengthen connections and opportunities within the cinematic ecosystem. In this way, it maintains a constant commitment to the democratization of cinema and continuous audiovisual training.
