Official Selection

Programmes

A total of nineteen films —seven feature films, one medium-length film, and eleven short films— made in America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. Four world premeires, one international premiere, and fourteen national premieres compete for the festival's awards: the Punto de Vista Grand Award for Best Film, the Jean Vigo Award for Best Director, the Best Short Award, and the Special Audience and Youth Awards for the Best Film.

Youth Jury (age 18 to 25)

As in previous editions, Punto de Vista will put together its own Youth Jury for the twentieth edition of the festival, which will be held in Pamplona from 20 to 25 April 2026. Young people between 18 and 25 who so wish can now enter for a place on the jury to select the film in the Official Selection deserving of the Youth Prize for Best Film. This award will be presented by the jury itself at the closing gala Punto de Vista will hold on Saturday 25 April at the Baluarte auditorium in Pamplona.
