Established legitimate festival
The Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena (FICC) is the oldest film festival in the Región de Murcia, founded in 1972 as a naval-themed event before evolving into a generalist international festival in 2005. It showcases over 60 high-quality narrative films, documentaries, and short films from Spain and abroad, with a dedicated focus on independent and auteur cinema that has not yet premiered commercially in the region. The festival is notable for its continuous half-century history, its prestigious 'Carabela de Plata' awards for short films, and its role as a key platform for emerging talents and social themes in the Spanish film circuit.
