Befoe that, however, another brief note on how we have tried to ensure that this year, forced to stick to an online festival by the pandemic, the cinema continues to overcome any barriers: we have prepared two film-making workshops for schools. A stop motion workshop for primary schools and a film genre workshop for secondary schools, including a trailer. We developed them as part of Enfants Terribles, in a project called "Enter". With the films they shoot, we will set up their own festival at FICX.TV.
In Aula FICX , today we have the last of our debate tables: at 6.30 p.m., and with the title "In the end, even in the midst of the collapse of civilisation, we still need to think, debate and write about cinema".

Nothing else. Well yes: keep telling us in social media what you like, with the hashtag #58FICX. That makes us happy every day.
The cinema surpasses the screen. It shakes us up, moves us, improves us and makes us go out in the street looking good, ready to walk the world instead of facing it. We have more than fifty films on FICX.TV, and we keep adding new ones every day. Keep an eye on the ones of today and the last viewing deadlines.
