This film festival returns to the province of Alicante, offering four days dedicated to cinema at an incredibly low price: just 3.5 euros for a movie on the big screen.
The celebration of cinema spans across Spain, taking place on 3, 4, 5 and 6 October 2022. To participate, individuals or groups must obtain prior accreditation through the website fiestadelcine.com, where audiences aged 14 to 60 register and then present the pass at the box office or at the entrance to the screening rooms. If a pass was already issued for a previous event, renewal is required.
Once accreditation is stored on a device, tickets can be purchased for screenings in participating venues. The festival offers online purchasing, counter service, and kiosks located inside cinemas.

Encourage participation
The nineteenth edition of this event is organized by the Federation of Spanish Cinemas (FECE) with the aim of drawing audiences back to theatres and restoring the social habit of going to the cinema. After the pandemic, cinema attendance dropped sharply, underscoring the need to revive the communal experience of cinema-going and to enjoy affordable screenings again.
Support comes from the Federation of Cinematographic Distributors (FEDICINE), the Federation of Spanish Cinemas (FECE), and the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts (ICAA). Their collaboration helps reduce barriers to entry, encouraging more people to rediscover the magic of watching films on the big screen without price concerns.
In summary, the festival seeks to re Energize the theatrical circuit, offering accessible pricing and broad audience participation while celebrating Spain’s vibrant cinema culture. This collaborative effort highlights how affordable access to cinema can reconnect communities with a shared cultural experience. (Source: FECE, FEDICINE, ICAA)
