FICX Academy is structured through a series of lectures and training modules taught by Asturian filmmakers and aimed at a total of 15 young talents, under 35 years of age.
This new project adds to others that have been shaped by the Festival itself lately, such is the creation of FICX Pro | LAB in 2020; a program aimed at young Asturian creators that received more than 20 film projects in its first call. In this way, the new educational offer complements the already existing initiative to support the development of audiovisual projects made by young Asturian filmmakers, who will also benefit from a series of individual mentorships to accompany them in their creative development.
Academia FICX is supported by CISLAN, the Citizen Relations Service of Gijón and the Municipal Foundation of Culture, Education and Popular University of Gijón.
The rules and the complete call will be published during the month of June on the FICX website and through its social networks.

This new educational proposal is promoted by Gijón/Xixón International Film Festival as a commitment to support the development of quality cinema, as well as a contribution to strenghten the educational offer in the audiovisual field in Gijón and the rest of the Principality of Asturias.
