This Sunday, the third day of the 2026 Isla Calavera Fantastic Film Festival is taking place, with all main activities and screenings centred at the Multicines Tenerife in the Alcampo Shopping Centre, located in San Cristóbal de La Laguna.

A highlight of the day is the panel discussion titled 'Fantásticas: The fantastic in feminine', which commenced at 11:00 am. This debate focused on the role, challenges, and perspectives of women within the horror and science fiction film industry, featuring contributions from Elena Muñoz, Alexandra Graf, Norma Vila, and Elizabeth Avellán.

Later in the afternoon, attendees can look forward to the screening of one of the season's most anticipated films, 'Cinco minutos más', with its director Javier Ruiz Caldera in attendance. Additionally, the classic film 'From Dusk Till Dawn', directed by Robert Rodriguez, will also be shown, with producer Elizabeth Avellán present.

Isla Calavera aims to enhance the visibility of Canary Island cinema through the 'Hecho en Canarias' label, established in 2025 to spotlight both local filmmakers and productions shot in the archipelago. From 65 submissions, the final selection includes 13 short films and seven feature films, showcasing the diverse perspectives, generations, and styles of cinema created in the Canary Islands.
