About

• The “OFFICIAL SECTION” is made up of three competitions: The INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, the NATIONAL COMPETITION and the CANARIAN COMPETITION;
• “INFORMATION SECTION”, which is non-competitive;
• “MIRADA PERSONAL”, a non-competitive section made up of an indeterminate number of documentaries by way of a retrospective tribute to a film-maker of renown;
• “CINEMATECA SUR”. This section is entirely devoted to the documentary cinema of countries from the continents of interest to the festival. Both the current production of these countries and retrospective material will be included;
• “DOCUMENTARY AND TELEVISION”, which will have as its objective each year to offer a view of some aspect of the current state of documentary films on television;
• “LA REALIDAD EN LA FICCIÓN” a screening of fictional cinema dealing with real problems. The organising Committee reserves the right to modify, according to the interests of the festival, the general structure of the themed screenings;
