This afternoon, FICX.TV broadcasts as a farewell the deliberation of the FIPRESCI-Tierres jury in trance, at 18.00, and the closing ceremony at 20.00.
The 58th edition of FICX, which has been given a graphic image by Marco Recuero, ends after reinventing ourselves in online format and broadcasting more than a hundred films in total. To this programme we have added more than 30 activities in AulaFICX, which have included talks, round tables and master classes, opening up reflection on cinema.
We have also organised the FICXPro activities, dedicated to audiovisual professionals, and the online film workshops offered to primary and secondary schools through the "Enter" programme, by Enfants Terribles. The opening ceremony was broadcast last November 20th, a special programme of "Carne Cruda" where Rodrigo Cuevas and Pablo und Destruktion participated, among others. This programme and the rest of the activities have been posted on our website, on Youtube and Facebook.
For the first time it has been possible to access the FICX from all over Spain. In addition, we wanted to pay tribute to the city and its people in this difficult year with the photos of Manu Brabo with which we have greeted you in the mornings during the last three months, and with today's closing ceremony. And with this newsletter we have informed you about everything, trying to help you with the guide to the films.
We hope you enjoyed it. All our efforts have been for no other purpose. So we can only thank you for your support. And, of course, to call you to see us in 2021 in front of a cinema screen. Thank you!
We tell you about the awards whose reading we have transmitted live at 12.00 on FICX.TV. Attention, because some of the awarded films extend their viewing period, as we indicate at the end. And because there are still two online events that you can see this afternoon.
