PampaDocFest
The festival has been held in the province since 2020. Its main objective is to integrate Argentina’s provinces into the international film community and promote their cultural potential. Documentary films addressing contemporary social, cultural, environmental and political issues are accepted for participation.
The festival is supported by regional authorities for its positive impact on society. As noted by the organisers, they aim not only to entertain audiences but also to inspire viewers to engage more deeply with issues relevant to people around the world, turning the film festival into a tool for social change. The authorities of La Pampa province noted that PampaDocFest represents “cultural and legislative interest” for the region and also contributes to the province’s economic development.
All festival events are free of charge. The programme includes educational seminars, round tables and masterclasses, for example on documentary filmmaking, where participants, under the guidance of experienced directors, will be able to learn about production stages and even create their own short film. During the festival days, local musicians will perform in Santa Teresa, while artisans and producers will present their goods at fairs.

In April 2025, the TV BRICS network presented a special documentary film programme in the Cuban city of Gibara in Holguín province as part of the 19th International Low-Budget Film Festival (FIC Gibara).
