The JIIFF (José Ignacio International Film Festival) has run every summer since 2011 in José Ignacio and Pueblo Garzón, with open-air screenings in places such as the beach and Garzón's old railway station. It programmes independent and international cinema and usually brings guests. Summer here means January and February.

The 16th edition ran from January 24 to February 1, 2026, with Willem Dafoe and director Gastón Solnicki among those presenting films, and an industry section that awarded more than 130,000 dollars in prizes. The festival publishes the dates of each edition: confirm them before you plan the trip.

The main screenings take place at Pavilion VIK; in Pueblo Garzón, the venue is the old railway station, restored as a cultural centre.
