A preview of what Skyline is preparing for its 10th anniversary, presented at FITUR

What did we present at FITUR?

During the morning, our director Beatriz Hernández revealed several of the 2026 highlights, generating great interest among industry professionals:

A bigger, more international and more connected Skyline

We are growing in programming, activities and networking spaces.

PRISMA, our professional area, is consolidating itself as a hub for filmmakers, production companies, film commissions and film schools.

Mexico will be the Guest Country, strengthening the cultural and audiovisual bridge between both countries.

In the words of Beatriz Hernández:

“We are building an edition that fosters talent, strengthens community, and opens new opportunities for the short-film industry.”

Historic record: 760 scripts submitted

The DAMA Screenplay Competition is experiencing its best year:

760 submissions, a 54.5% increase.

A figure that confirms the festival’s strong appeal as a platform for new voices, creativity and narrative development.

“Skyline is a safe place to tell stories. And every year, more and more creators trust this festival to do so,” Hernández noted.

Skyline at FITUR Screen: cinema, territory and industry

In the afternoon, we took part in the panel “Success Stories: Film Tourism in the Valencian Community”, organised by Turisme Comunitat Valenciana and Spain Film Commission.

Skyline 365: cinema all year round

We also presented Skyline 365, the new programme of activities with universities, educational centres and cultural venues that will allow us to engage with audiences throughout all 12 months of the year.

Its goal is threefold:

• to create new audiences, especially young ones,

• to make cinema more accessible,

• and to expand the presence of the festival beyond April.

Commitment to accessibility

Skyline reaffirms its leadership in accessibility through measures such as:

• accessible subtitling,

• audio description,

• sign-language interpreters,

• cultural mediation for diverse audiences,

• inclusive materials.

Because cinema is only cinema if it can reach everyone.

What’s next

FITUR was only the beginning.

We are working on international partnerships, new industry initiatives, professional encounters and a programme that will make this 10th edition the most ambitious we have ever held.

18–25 April 2026 — Skyline turns 10
And we want to celebrate it with you.
