The Actrum International Film Fest (AIFF) has established itself as a key event in Rivas-Vaciamadrid's annual cultural calendar. Running from 15 to 21 November, the festival will offer a week filled with cinema, culture, and community engagement.
This year’s programme includes feature films, documentaries, and national shorts, culminating in an awards gala. To celebrate its six-year journey, the festival will host a special session dedicated to showcasing winning works from previous editions.
Organised by the non-profit cultural association ACTRUM Producciones, the festival is supported by the municipal programme CineLab. AIFF presents a selection of audiovisual productions that span various genres, formats, and perspectives.
The festival will combine in-person screenings with an online viewing room, allowing audiences to enjoy participating works and vote for their favourite shorts and features to determine the audience awards.
