Official Selection-Retueyos (shoots, sprouts in Asturian language ) is a new section of the FICX, which will include a selection of films directed by filmmakers who are still taking their first steps in their filmography with their first, second or third feature films in a competitive section that will serve to reinforce the commitment to young cinema that has been the FICX’s main goal for years.

Official Selection-Albar (Asturian term that refers to  wood of great resistance and quality) will be the competition presenting  a selection of films directed by already renowned filmmakers with a solid track record and a well-known career at international festivals.

Official Selection-Trance Lands. It is evident that for several years some of the most edgy and independent proposals away from conventionalisms within the contemporary art house cinema have come from Latin America, this is why the FICX is opening a section exclusively for films from this scope (that is, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Uruguay, Cuba, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain and Portugal). The section name pays tribute to one of the great reformers  of Latin cinema and founder of Cinema Novo in the 1960s, Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha.
