Once again the Santo Domingo Global Film Festival (FCGSD), which reaches its sixteenth edition, while we express the pride we feel in being able to have a film event that seeks to contribute to the development of the Dominican film industry. 

Thanks to the FCGSD our industry members, film buffs, students and the general public will enjoy a wide variety of films for seven consecutive days. 

From the DGCINE, we highlight the trajectory and quality of the projects of the FONPROCINE Public Competition and the importance of the conservation of the national film heritage through the Dominican Cinematheque. 

This festival is a benchmark in the region and we join our cinema in its celebration. On behalf of the DGCINE, we appreciate your contributions to enriching the cinematographic culture of the Dominican Republic.
