With over six decades of history, FICX has established itself as one of the most important independent film festivals on both the national and international scenes. In its 63rd edition, and during the month of November, Gijón will once again become a meeting point for those who love cinema that dares, moves, and offers new ways of seeing the world.

FICX is committed to authentic, bold, and personal films, many of which would hardly reach commercial theaters or digital platforms. It is a festival that uncovers hidden gems and offers a unique cinematic experience, with stories that explore the intimate, the social, and the universal.

In a time overwhelmed by content saturation, FICX stands out for its quality, discernment, and commitment. Against depersonalization, it promotes closeness; against competition, it fosters collaboration and sustainability. All of this without labels or molds—in favor of a free and deeply human cinema.

The Gijón Film Festival is about the present, but also the future: a celebration of honest, transformative cinema that connects generations and cultures from the shores of the Cantabrian Sea.
