Lóstrego, Fantastic Film Festival

LÓSTREGO FESTIVAL

Welcome to “Lóstrego, A Coruña Fantastic Film Festival”!

We are five friends passionate about cinema who decided to take our passion a step further by creating this festival. We have formed a non-profit association with the goal of bringing a unique event to our city, dedicated to fantastic cinema. Three of us work in the audiovisual world, contributing experience and knowledge in various areas of production and content creation. Furthermore, we have all participated in other film festivals, which has inspired and motivated us to embark on this exciting adventure.

“Lóstrego” is not just a festival; it is a meeting point for fans, professionals, and those curious about fantastic cinema. We want this festival to be an inclusive and vibrant space, where all attendees can enjoy a carefully curated program and participate in various activities and events that we have prepared with great care and dedication.

We hope you enjoy the festival as much as we have enjoyed organizing it. Your presence and participation are essential to making "Lóstrego" a memorable event. Come explore, participate, and share this unique experience with us.

Let the magic of fantasy cinema begin in A Coruña!

The festival will take place from September 2nd to 5th, 2026, at the main venue, the Metropolitan Forum of A Coruña. It will consist of three sections:

1. Screenings

1.1 Official Short Film Section: A carefully selected selection of short films will compete for the Best International, National, and Galician Short Film Award. Not to mention the most important award, which is the one you award through the "Audience Award."

1.2 Feature Films: We will screen Galician, national, and international films. Some of the films we will try to bring to the festival will be accompanied by their directors or casts, and we will even strive to bring film premieres in Spain.

2. Parallel Activities

We organize all kinds of activities, from talks, masterclasses, book presentations, to painting workshops, origami for the little ones in the family, and FX makeup for adults, all to ensure everyone can actively participate in the festival.

3. Permanent Exhibition

Each year we have one or more cultural, educational, and social exhibitions that remain open from the opening to the closing of the festival.

WHERE WILL WE USE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS?

Lóstrego is a very comprehensive and complete festival, so we have to cover the various expenses of the parallel activities (talks, masterclasses, etc.) and the prizes for the winning films for Best International, National, or Galician Short Film, and the Audience Award. We also have to finance the expenses related to food, lodging, and transportation for the various guests and the jury, and we also have to advance the costs of merchandising, among other expenses that may arise.

This is one of the main sources of funding for the festival. Remember that it is a completely free festival, and without your help and that of various public and private organizations, we would not be able to carry it out.

REWARDS

In the right column (or at the top if you're using a mobile device) are the different rewards you can earn with your contributions. We remind you that the designs and the rewards themselves are handmade by the Lóstrego team, so they are made with much love and gratitude. Also, keep in mind that many of these rewards are exclusive and can only be obtained here.
