Overview
Alcances, officially the Festival de Cine Documental de Cádiz, is Spain's third-oldest film festival and Andalusia's longest-running, specializing exclusively in Spanish documentary creation since 2006. It is a key reference for creative, experimental, and auteur Spanish documentaries, offering one of the highest monetary prize allocations in the national circuit to support the genre. The festival showcases both feature-length and short documentary films that avoid commercial molds, featuring a competitive section where over half of the entries are often directed by women.
