Emerging or unverified festival
GALACTICAT is the International Film Festival of Tàrrega and Ponent, held in Penelles/Tàrrega, Lleida, and founded in 2014. It is notable for evolving from a fantasy-and-horror showcase into a broader, audience-friendly festival with a strong educational mission, while still keeping genre cinema at its core; it programs fiction and documentary features and shorts, including horror, fantasy, science fiction, animation, and free-genre works. It has become an important regional meeting point for filmmakers, industry professionals, and audiences in the Catalan festival circuit.
