Tandil Cine 2026 is under way with a week of Argentine film

A festival now running in Tandil

The 23rd edition of Tandil Cine began on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and is scheduled to run through Saturday, October 24, in Tandil, Buenos Aires province. The organizers describe it as a competitive Argentine festival focused on national cinema.

This year’s edition brings together screenings and activities at venues across the city, with the involvement of the Municipality of Tandil, the National University of Central Buenos Aires Province and the Bernardino Rivadavia Popular Library, according to the festival’s official information and call for entries.

What is on this week

The announced program includes Argentine feature films in competition, short films and a Panorama Tandil section for productions connected with the city. The opening film was “Pepita, La Pistolera”, an Argentine film directed by Lucía Puenzo and listed by the official site as the opening title.

In-person screenings are held at Espacio INCAA UNICEN and Espacio Multicultural. The organizers say the edition has free admission, with the schedule available through the festival’s official channels.

A window onto recent national cinema

Tandil Cine reaches its main week with a program focused on Argentine works and cultural spaces in the city. For local audiences and people in the area, the festival offers a concentrated agenda from October 17 to 24.

The 2026 call for entries was open to national works made from January 1, 2025, according to UNICEN and FilmFreeway. That cut-off places the program within recent Argentine production.
