FICX App

From November 17 to 25, the Gijón/Xixón International Film Festival stands in its 61st edition as the great party and meeting point of authentically independent cinema, maintaining its commitment to those films that offer a personal and genuine look, and that the vast majority do not have guaranteed visibility. That cinema that should be seen in Gijón/Xixón, here and now, because it might not reach commercial theaters or online platforms. Alternative, surprising and human cinema that reveals and excites.

The FICX is a contest combined in the present that looks to the future: Faced with quantity, quality; against accumulation, the filter; in the face of depersonalization, closeness; in the face of competitiveness, collaboration and the implementation of concrete actions with other events, in a clear commitment to sustainability in terms of format and resources. Beyond conventions, labels and debates about genres and narratives, the Gijón/Xixón Festival once again opts for honest cinema, a cinema of stories that delves into yesterday and brings out today to reconstruct tomorrow.
