FICdÀ 2026 closing gala
Collegiate Sant Pere d'Àger
This year, the Closing Gala will once again be hosted by Elisenda Pineda. After so many visits to Àger and all the laughter she has brought us in previous editions, we can safely say that Elisenda is practically part of the family.
This year, Víctor Arbelo & Alex Álvarez will accompany the gala with an acoustic performance. We will also be joined by the members of the jury and representatives from some of the selected short films. During the gala, the prizes and awards of this fourth edition will be presented, bringing filmmakers, guests and audiences together once again for one of FICdÀ’s most special moments.
And when the spotlights go out, the night won’t end there. After the gala, we will stay at the Col·legiata, with music by Jordi Viladomat, to raise a glass together and enjoy a buffet-style dinner. Award winners, our host, jury members, film crews and the FICdÀ audience will have the opportunity to meet, discuss the films, exchange thoughts and share the stories and anecdotes that the festival has given us.
Because that is also what FICdÀ is about: what happens on the screen, but above all, everything that happens when the lights come back on.
