A bright city, red carpets, moving stories and terraces full of conversations about cinema. If you love culture, sunshine and the Mediterranean lifestyle, this festival is your place.
When cinema arrives in Málaga, the city breathes differently. The historic center becomes a grand stage: photographers on Calle Larios, directors in cafés, excited students picking up tickets, laughter in bars, music in open squares… and that feeling of living culture in real time.
The Málaga Film Festival is one of the most important events for Spanish and Latin American cinema — a celebration of talent, storytelling, and the creative energy that defines this Mediterranean city.
Here, films aren’t just watched. They’re shared, discussed, and felt.
The heart of the festival beats in the historic center. Its main venues are all within walking distance, making every stroll part of the experience:
📍 Teatro Cervantes
📍 Cine Albéniz
📍 Plaza de la Constitución
📍 María Victoria Atencia Cultural Center
📍 Outdoor screenings and gatherings
Between screenings: tapas, sea breeze, warm light, and lively streets. Málaga is cinema — but also pure Mediterranean rhythm.

This festival welcomes professionals, film lovers, families, students, art enthusiasts — and anyone who enjoys getting lost in beautiful cities between events.
