FIAPF class-A festival · September · Donostia
For production companies, distributors, PR agencies, brand activators and visiting teams at the San Sebastián Film Festival (Donostia, September) with FIAPF class-A premieres at the Kursaal, the industry audiovisual market at the Velódromo and 200,000 attendees across nine days. EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 24–48 h delivery from the Madrid production hub.
Zinemaldia — the San Sebastián Film Festival — is one of the great class-A festivals of the world and the flagship film appointment in southern Europe. Nine days of programming in late September that mix the competitive Official Section with New Directors, Horizontes Latinos, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera and the Velódromo industry market, alongside red-carpet galas at the Kursaal. The typical edition draws 200,000 attendees, 4,000 press accreditations and between 1,500 and 2,000 international audiovisual industry delegates.
For production companies, distributors and PR agencies the operational challenge is two-fold: on one side, the merch handed out at the photocall, the parallel photocalls, the Hotel María Cristina receptions and the Velódromo industry breakfasts; on the other, the VIP gifting that goes to directors, talents and agents at the red-carpet galas. The typical brief we receive mixes branded polos and technical tees for staff and communications units, serigraphed tote bags for the photocall, premium press kits for the Ibero-American delegation, and signed gift sets for jury members and guests of honour.
The Madrid production hub handles the entire order and ships by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee in Donostia — production company office, reference hotel in the Centro, or the Kursaal hospitality space. The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article.
220 GSM branded polos and technical tees in Pantone-precise production colours with two-colour serigraphy, two pieces per person, softshell jacket for the late-night Kursaal photocall, branded caps and canvas aprons for the communications stand.
Premium leather-bound notebooks, embroidered gift sets stamped with the production company's anagram, limited-edition pieces signed by talents in archival folios, trilingual packaging (Spanish, Basque, English) and named delivery to the Kursaal hotel suite.
Conference-week lanyards with metal clip, rigid badge holders, notebook + pen kits for international press, compact backpacks for travelling correspondents and PVC credentials for Ibero-American delegations — 100–400 units per production company.
Organic-cotton tote bags serigraphed with the title or the brand, engraved eco bottles, pocket fans for the Kursaal queues, cork coasters for the María Cristina hospitality area, co-branded merch sets for sponsors — 200–2,000 units depending on budget.
The brand operation at Zinemaldia is coordinated from Madrid with delivery into Donostia: the Madrid hub handles the entire order and ships by road to a named consignee — production company office in Madrid or San Sebastián, reference hotel in the Centro, or the press storage area allocated by the festival. The standard delivery window is 24–48 hours with prior appointment, since September on the Cantabrian coast brings rain squalls and the Centro loading window is morning-only.
We keep reserved stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — T-shirts, tote bags and lanyards with generic serigraphy — which we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with custom embroidery (production company anagram, limited-edition number for talents) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For producers with special talent kits (numbered boxes, signed sets) we suggest locking the brief 5–6 weeks before the gala photocall.
The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, on request, a photo of the unloaded material.
Historically the last fortnight of September at the Kursaal and the Centro of Donostia. The exact dates of each edition are confirmed on the official festival website and in the launch press kit.
Yes, to a named consignee: production company office, reference hotel in the Centro, Kursaal hospitality space or festival storage area. For producers with multiple recipients we consolidate at a single hub address and the client's internal team distributes.
