In Focus will be charting retrospective paths through the work of Dutch film-maker Frans Van de Staak (1943-2001) and French film-maker Anne-Marie Faux, as well as a new piece in the series devoted by programmer and film-maker Miriam Martín to the natural environment over the last four years, in this case entitled Adiós a los animales. The opening session of the festival is provided by Lan, with a screening of the recent digitalisation by Filmoteca de Catalunya of the work by Miñuca Villaverde Tent city; Termitas, with an overview of the emerging Spanish scene; and two talks about alternative practices using generative artificial intelligence applied to documentary film.

Contacts will be presenting a video installation by Iñaki Garmendia at Ciudadela, as well as a dialogue with the artist in the context of the exhibition devoted to him at the Oteiza museum. In turn, X Films, in collaboration with Centro Huarte, is to invite film-maker and visual creator Pablo Casanueva for an artistic residency in order to pursue a documentary essay project to be shot in Navarre in 2025. On the other hand, the festival will be screening the world premiere of the X Films 2024 project by Celia Viada Caso, Volver a casa tan tarde. Finally, Punto de Vista will once again be opening up to a young audience in Pamplona with its Mediation Programme, running two workshops for children, a new edition of Young Programmers, and a film session for families and another two for upper secondary students at the Filmoteca de Navarra.
