The 15th festival on Feb. 13-19 are expected to bring international movies to the public with free outdoor screenings in three regional cities of Concepcion, Canete and Lebu.
As this year's guest country, China will bring three dramas that showcase the country's culture through different themes, including "Quancheng Gaokao" ("Mark of Youth") which follows four students preparing for the university entrance exam, "Tangshan Da Dizhen" ("Aftershock") depicting the aftermath of the tragic earthquake that hit Tangshan in 1976, and "Yi Dai Zong Shi" ("The Grandmaster") with the story of martial arts master Ip Man.
The Ficil Biobio, which began in 1999, is Chile's third largest film festival, after the festivals of Valdivia and Vina del Mar.
This year, the Year of China in Chile, will see numerous cultural events featuring the Asian country throughout the South American nation.
