From 15 to 23 November, the 62nd edition of the Gijón/Xixón International Film Festival will be the great festival and meeting point for authentically independent cinema, maintaining its commitment to those films that offer a personal and genuine vision, the vast majority of which are not guaranteed visibility. These films should be seen in Gijón/Xixón, here and now, because they might not reach commercial cinemas or online platforms. Alternative, surprising and human cinema that reveals and moves.

FICX is an event conjugated in the present that looks to the future: against quantity, quality; against accumulation, filtering; against depersonalisation, proximity; against competitiveness, collaboration and the implementation of specific actions with other events, in a clear commitment to sustainability in terms of format and resources. Beyond conventionalisms, labels and debates on genres and narratives, the Gijón/Xixón Festival is once again committed to honest cinema, a cinema of stories that dives into yesterday and brings today to the surface to rebuild tomorrow.
