The fantasy film festival of the University of Málaga programmes literary meetings, workshops, concerts and free film forums, except the concerts, from November 3 to 17.
The 36th Fancine, the fantasy film festival of the University of Málaga, expands its programme beyond the Albéniz cinema with parallel activities to be held between November 3 and 17 in different venues across the city and the campuses. Most are free and open to the general public; concerts are charged separately.
Registration from October 30
Some events require prior registration and the deadlines begin to open on Friday, October 30. This is the case for the fantasy and horror story writing workshop given by screenwriter Sergio Sánchez, winner of a Goya for «El orfanato», on Friday 13 in the morning at Casa Socorro, and for the children's workshops on Sunday 15 at the Contenedor Cultural, with sessions at 11:00 and 12:30 to create an eternal rose picture (ages 4 to 7) or personalise a cupid (ages 8 to 10).
Concert tickets go on sale on different dates: those for the film soundtrack concert by the Orquesta Sinfónica Provincial de Málaga, on Friday 13 at 20:00 in the assembly hall of the schools of Ingeniería Informática and Ingeniería de Telecomunicación, cost 5 euros and go on sale from November 3. Those for Living Camboya, on Thursday 12 at 20:00 at the Contenedor Cultural, cost 4 euros and will be available from November 5.
