Other invited countries include Venezuela ¿ represented by the poet Rafael Cárdenas ¿ and Chile, which features poet Pedro Lastra. With respect to the visual arts, La Tertulia Museum of Modern Art will exhibit Laberintos del Rostro ¿ Paisajes de la Conciencia (Labyrinths of the Face ¿Landscapes of the Conscience) presented by the Embassy of France and curated by Isabelle de Mountfumat.

The exhibit Fama Popular de Lujo (Deluxe Popular Fame) will be presented at the Comfandi Cultural Center, and the exhibit by Catalina Holguín will be held at the Colombian-French Alliance. The world of dance is also represented by Délit de Fuite from France, and by Colombian dance groups such as L¿Explosé, among others. In literature, round tables will be held on the following: film and literature, with the participation of Colombians Víctor Gaviria, Carlos Moreno, and Roberto Rubiano; television and literature, with the participation of actor Alejandra Borrero, and criticism as a literary genre, with the participation of writers and critics Hugo Chaparro-Valderrama and Julio César Londoño.

The Festival will be present at universities, neighborhoods, and open spaces, in order to attract the largest possible audience.
