8ed. IBICINE, Ibiza’s Film Festival - Astarté Awards

Ibiza, Spain


Ibicine Asociación Cinematográfica de Ibiza (IACI) was born out of love for cinema and the island of Ibiza with the firm commitment to provide the island with activities related to cinema as well as a film programme that opens the range of cultural activities on the island to new audiences and thus turn Ibiza into a meeting point for the national and international film sector.

Ibicine, Ibiza Film Festival, is one of the annual activities of IACI, organized by the Association and by the production company Dicho y Hecho Porducciones.

Ibicine is a festival that is committed to emerging national, international and Balearic Island talent, which seeks to enhance emerging filmmakers and generate links with established talents, giving special importance to the short film and its technicians, rewarding by categories the technical and artistic aspects that have a place in these film productions with the Astarté awards. a statuette created and made in Ibiza in honour of the Phoenician goddess who left her mark on the island.

In addition to the Official SOC Short Film Section, the festival also has Parallel Sections, as well as the Official SOL Feature Film Section and the projects in development thanks to the creation of the Ibiza Film Market Project Forum, organized by BIAM (Balearic Islands Audiovisual Market) within the framework of the festival, to promote professional cinema on the island, so that a meeting point is generated with the national and international industry to generate and strengthen relationships within the sector: creators, producers, platforms, buyers, etc.

All these activities come together in Ibiza, a perfect place to disconnect from the routines and stress of the big cities and, in this perfect setting, synergies, new projects and learning take place, closing contracts and thus generating the film industry in an unparalleled environment.

Ibicine has been selected by UNESCO as the representative festival of Spain in the Movie Travel film tourism routes, has received recognition from the Consell d'Eivissa, has been awarded the Business Excellence Award as Best Festival in the Balearic Islands by Acquisition International magazine and Festival of the Year 2023 - Spain by LUXlife magazine.
