The festival in context

Dates
A window of just over a week during October each edition (confirm the annual call on the festival's official site before locking print runs)
Venue
Auditori Girona (main screenings and galas) and Cinemes Albéniz (parallel screens), with Q&As and panels at venues across the Barri Vell
Format
Compact independent film festival with an international fiction and documentary competition, retrospectives of auteur cinema, industry panels, project presentations and director Q&As
Audience profile
International programmers, specialist press, delegations from partner festivals, production company teams and aficionados of European auteur cinema

The Girona Film Festival is one of the reference gatherings on the Catalan independent circuit, with an official selection that alternates fiction and documentary features from emerging filmmakers, retrospectives devoted to Spanish and European auteur cinema, and industry panels connecting producers with international sales agents. Programming is split between the Auditori Girona, the Cinemes Albéniz and pop-up Q&As in bookshops and small rooms in the old quarter, which forces merch planning to think in terms of pieces you can carry between pedestrian streets, not bulky trade-show kits.

For producers, distributors and schools attending, the operational brief has three clear fronts. First, taking care of the programmer and press audience, who follow packed agendas and appreciate merchandise compact and easily carried between screenings; second, presence at industry panels and project pitchings, where a thoughtful branded detail helps fix a project name or production company in a sales agent's memory; third, the late-evening receptions in the Barri Vell, where merch is exchanged almost like a social credential. All of that conditions runs and, above all, the size and durability of every piece.

Recommended merch kit for the Girona Film Festival

Discreet apparel for producer teams

T-shirts and polos in deep black, burgundy or natural ecru with a small chest print, paired with a light sweatshirt for late-night Q&As in the Barri Vell. Sized by role with reinforced collar and side seams for a full week of screenings and panels.

Compact giveaways for audiences and press

Heavy cotton tote bags with a discreet mark, A6 notebooks with debossed cover, gel-ink ballpoints and enamel pins carrying the year's poster artwork. Designed for visitors moving between the Auditori and the Albéniz without carrying bulky backpacks.

Industry detail for delegates and programmers

Hand-stitched premium notebooks, pen-and-roller sets in a fabric pouch, screen-printed carrier bags carrying the project title or producer name. Packed by recipient for industry panels and one-to-one pitchings.

Invitation kits for receptions and Q&As

Small boxes with a curated selection of Catalan gourmet products, miniature candles and a bilingual ES/EN card. Built for post-gala receptions at the Auditori and international press Q&As.

Production, VAT and city delivery

We produce from our Madrid hub with EUR pricing exclusive of IVA 21%, added on the B2B invoice and reported via FACe/SII to the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT); intra-EU buyers can apply the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable. Runs are sized to a mid-sized independent film festival: 30–80 pieces per reference for team apparel, 250–800 for audience and press giveaways, 20–60 for industry kits. Girona's historic centre is largely traffic-restricted, especially around the Cathedral and Pujada de Sant Domènec, so we usually coordinate delivery with a named consignee at a hotel near the Plaça del Vi or the Pont de Pedra, and from there hand-deliver small boxes to the Auditori and the Albéniz. For producers who need to stage material before opening night, a hotel buffer in the Barri Vell covers the gap between the team arriving and the first gala.

One cinema-specific consideration is bilingual ES/EN packaging on every box, label and card: a large slice of the industry and press audience operates in English, and a poorly labelled kit reads as a lack of care. For that reason we recommend including in every box a sheet with the festival's day-by-day programme and a small map of the old quarter with the venues marked, so the recipient always knows what they are opening and why.

Indicative planning timeline

  1. Eight to ten weeks out: lock the product list, sizing per role and the final artwork; decide the bilingual ES/EN pieces and reserve production capacity for the premium industry notebooks.
  2. Five to six weeks out: approve a physical or production-grade sample, validate colours in cinematic tones (black, burgundy, ecru) and close the bilingual packaging layout for each box.
  3. Three to four weeks out: launch full production with batch-level quality control, pack the allocation for each recipient in separate boxes with the day-by-day card and programme attached.
  4. Final week: reconfirm the delivery window to the Auditori Girona and the Cinemes Albéniz, the festival logistics contact, the hotel buffer and the collection plan for leftover material after the closing gala.

Frequently asked questions

When exactly does the Girona Film Festival take place?

Historically the festival runs for just over a week during October, with screenings in the Auditori and the Albéniz and parallel Q&As in venues across the Barri Vell. The exact dates of each edition are published in the festival's official call and should be confirmed before final artwork and sizing are fixed.

Can merch be delivered directly to the Auditori Girona or the Cinemes Albéniz?

Yes, provided it is coordinated with the festival logistics team and arrives within the agreed set-up window. Because the old quarter is traffic-restricted, we usually split between the Auditori, the Albéniz and a hotel buffer near the Plaça del Vi from which small boxes can be carried by hand.

What is a sensible minimum order for a small production company?

For screen-printed or embroidered apparel we usually work with minimums of fifty units per reference; for compact audience giveaways such as A6 notebooks or enamel pins we can go down to thirty; and industry kits accept runs of twenty to thirty units because their value lies in personalisation.

Is Corp-Merch a partner or official supplier of the Girona Film Festival?

No. Corp-Merch is an independent external supplier that helps producers, distributors, schools and press teams activating during the event prepare their own merch. It does not organise, sponsor or represent the festival or the Auditori Girona.
