Festival description (Edition: 4)

Festival start: 30 October 2025 Festival end: 02 November 2025

The only film festival in the world held in the impressive setting of the dome of the UNLP Planetarium.

The Gritos en el Planetario festival was born in 2022 with the conviction of promoting and disseminating Latin American production of genre films, while also bringing teenagers and young people closer to the world of scientific outreach, such as the university planetarium.

In its 2024 edition, the festival will take place from October 30 to November 2 at the UNLP Planetarium.
