VIDEO Fipadoc 2026 opening ceremony
For its 8th edition Fipadoc reaffirms its position as a citizen’s Festival, powered by filmmakers ready to tackle the rough edges of reality (Redlight to Limelight), to reveal secrets of the past (The Exported: the Dark Trade of Cold War), or the present (Trade Secret). And also, foster reflection (The Hippocratic Dilemma) while looking ahead towards new horizons (A Fox under a Pink Moon, Little Big Minds).
Fipadoc brings the world to you with over 150 films from 35 countries. By nature, it is a traveling festival, journeying across the globe through film while highlighting specific countries each year. In 2026, the Focus turns to Spain and Portugal, with more than twenty films ranging from poetic works (Good Valley Stories, The Marisma) to politically engaged storytelling (Building Memory: Writing, Commitment and Memory), and more personal narratives (The Undergrowth).
