Closing Gala – FIC Gáldar 2026
Details
🎬✨ We already have the program! From October 10 to 17, FIC Gáldar 2026 is offering a week to experience cinema from different perspectives: enjoying great stories on the big screen, learning from industry professionals, taking part in workshops, and discovering what happens behind a film. 🎥 Throughout the week, the Centro Cultural Guaires will host screenings of the Official Sections and the retrospective “Cinema and Sport: An Epic Dialogue”, with a selection that spans different eras, genres, and ways of understanding the relationship between cinema and sport. All screenings will be free until full capacity is reached. 🎭 The festival also invites you to learn and experiment with proposals such as the round table on professional and business opportunities in the audiovisual sector in Gran Canaria, the Cinedfest Short Film Creation Workshop, given by Roberto José Álvarez, and the workshop “From Gesture to Frame”, led by actor Antonio Pagudo, to discover how to communicate in front of the camera through gesture and body language. 🎬 And, of course, Gáldar Rueda returns, the express short film competition that will turn our streets and locations into film sets. If you want to be part of the challenge, you can still register until October 12 and get ready to shoot your story in Gáldar. ✨ The grand finale will take place on Saturday, October 17 with the closing gala, a night to celebrate cinema and discover the winners of this 14th edition, which will feature Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, honored with the Guayarmina de Honor, and Carlos Latre as master of ceremonies. A week to watch films, discover stories, learn, participate, and meet around a screen. 🎟️ All screenings and activities are free until full capacity is reached. ➡️ Check the full program, schedules, films, workshops, and all activities at ficgaldar.es
