Welcome to the XXI edition of the International Air Film Festival, a veteran festival that began in 1999 and has as its theme air and flight in all its facets. This year 2020 we turned twenty-one years old showing the best of flight cinema from all over the world to visitors to our festival. Twenty years in which the world of audiovisuals has changed radically, of formats, quality and also in production where we have very professional productions and also "amateur" producers that are able to surprise us with very original and well-worked formats and productions.
