Raíces 2026: Chivilcoy sets four days of cinema at El Chasqui

What is confirmed for November

The Raíces International Film Festival in Chivilcoy is preparing its ninth edition for November 2026 in Chivilcoy, Buenos Aires province. The festival’s Festhome listing gives the dates as November 12 to 15, 2026, while the official Raíces website points to the ninth edition taking place that month.

BAFILMA lists the venue for Raíces as Teatro El Chasqui, at General Rodríguez 70 in Chivilcoy. That is a useful starting point for anyone planning a trip or looking to follow the programme once the festival releases screenings and activities.

A Buenos Aires province festival with a community focus

Raíces presents itself as an international film festival in Chivilcoy and describes its aim as a space for cultural encounter, exchange and circulation of audiovisual works. That gives it a different place from an agenda concentrated in Buenos Aires City venues: the focus is on a provincial city with its own cultural life.

The festival’s 2026 call included fiction and documentary works, with rules published on its participation page. For audiences, that stage belongs to the earlier path of the edition; the next point to watch will be the programme that sets out films, times and activities.

How to follow the agenda

With dates and venue already in place, the day-by-day schedule will be the key information for planning a visit. People in Chivilcoy or nearby cities can mark November 12 to 15 as the agenda window and wait for the screening details before choosing a day.

The reason to pay attention to Raíces now is concrete: the 2026 edition is one month away, and the Buenos Aires province cultural calendar adds a film event outside the usual Buenos Aires City circuit. For filmmakers and audiences, Chivilcoy appears as a regional stop where cinema also works as a community meeting point.
