The literary treasure found in the middle of the desert takes us on a journey through the magnificent landscapes of southern Angola. Angolan identity and the colonial legacy are explored with great poetic sensitivity.

A Spanish-Dutch co-production filmed in Utrecht and based on the director's own life experience. Through Sergio's (Mario Casas) search, the film invites us to explore fear, isolation and the desperate desire to find oneself in a foreign environment.

Watch at Festibérico the best Spanish and Portuguese animation shorts from recent years. The official selection brings you a variety of stories and techniques, guaranteeing a great afternoon at Filmhuis Lumen for the entire family!

On Sunday, October 5, at 18:45, Festibérico is happy to bring live music to the Foyer of Filmhuis Lumen before the closing film, La guitarra flamenca de Yerai Cortés. Yunus Emre will join us with his guitar and his own style of flamenco.
Come to Festibérico and enjoy this amazing evening of music!

We close Festibérico with the debut feature film by musician Antón Álvarez (C. Tangana) as director. Premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival, it also participated in the Rotterdam Film Festival, winning the award for best documentary at the latest edition of the Goya Awards. This film goes beyond showing us the music and talent of Yerai Cortés, taking us deep into his personal history and that of his family.
