FantasticGijón was born with the illusion of filling a space that we believe empty in Asturias, to accommodate national and international productions of the Horror, Fantasy and Science Fiction genres that, due to the genre to which they belong, have less chance of reaching our community within of the programming of the rest of regional festivals.

Consequently, the organisation is exempt from any conflict derived from the non-authorship of the works presented.

10. The theme of the work to be presented is free, as long as the subject matter falls within the fantastic genre.

10.1 The organization of the festival reserves the right to disregard those works that do not comply with the rules, do not present a minimum of quality (we will be rigorous with those that do not respect the format of sending the works or exceed the time established for the duration of the screenings).

If it is necessary to subtitle the film, the company providing the film must provide the appropriate material: reference link, DVD or Blu-Ray and list of dialogues and/or subtitles. The Festival will not return these materials, which will be destroyed at the end of the Festival.
