Basque film festival · November · Vitoria-Gasteiz
For sponsor delegations, press accreditation teams and attending filmmakers taking part in the Vitoria-Gasteiz International Film Festival (Basque Country, autumn, programming spread across the Teatro Principal Antzokia, the Cines Florida and the Artium Museum's auditorium, with parallel industry screenings, retrospectives and a press-and-buyer circuit that runs from the Ensanche hotels to the old quarter around Plaza de la Virgen Blanca). EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 24–48 h delivery to a named consignee at the festival headquarters, your hotel in the Ensanche or the Artium Museum.
The Vitoria-Gasteiz International Film Festival (Festival Internacional de Cine de Vitoria-Gasteiz, FICA) is one of the reference autumn dates on the Basque audiovisual calendar: ten days of programming that combine a competitive section of international shorts and features, retrospectives curated by the Artium Museum, industry panels on Spanish-Basque co-productions and morning press screenings in the Teatro Principal Antzokia (the neoclassical theatre on Calle de la Paz that anchors the festival). The event draws a stable audience of Spanish-Basque cinema-goers, national press from Cahiers du Cinéma Espagne, Caimán Cuadernos de Cine and the European programmers who cross the border to scout the next season.
For sponsor delegations and press accreditation teams the operational challenge is to work with a November festival in the Basque capital: Vitoria-Gasteiz weather sits around 12°C during the day and drops to 4°C at night, the AP-1 motorway towards Bilbao or the A-1 towards Madrid conditions the last-mile logistics and hospitality is set up in either the Ensanche hotels (Hotel Canciller Ayala, Hotel General Álava, Hotel Puerta de Gasteiz) or in the restored palaces in the old quarter around the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca. The briefs we typically receive combine warm staff apparel for the festival team (softshells, merino crewnecks), lanyards and accreditation holders for press and jury, premium programmes and numbered posters for collectors and final gifting sets with Basque gourmet products (txakolí from Álava, Idiazábal cheese, Rioja Alavesa wines, Loyola chocolates) for visiting filmmakers and jury members.
The Bilbao production hub — with the Madrid hub as backup — handles the entire order and delivers by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee in Vitoria-Gasteiz: the festival's headquarters by the Ensanche, the reference hotel on Calle de la Paz, the Artium Museum's offices on Calle de Francia or the dressing room enabled at the Teatro Principal Antzokia. 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 VAT citing the corresponding EU directive article.
320 GSM corporate softshells in navy or graphite with two-colour embroidery of the sponsor's monogram, 220 GSM merino crewnecks for the jury welcome team, packable raincoats with hood for the street staff at the Artium and the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, fine merino scarves for night hospitality at the Teatro Principal Antzokia and recycled-cotton aprons for the press breakfast crew at the festival's headquarters.
Premium notebooks with covers wrapped in Basque craft paper, fine-tip pens engraved with the festival's seal, organic-cotton tote bags screen-printed with the Teatro Principal silhouette, enamel pins with the Artium icon, branded matchboxes for the after-office and linen bookmark ribbons for the printed programmes — 250 to 1,500 units per edition.
Compact branded power banks in muted design, USB hubs for the accredited press booth, foldable wireless chargers for the jury welcome team, screen-printed notebook + pen sets for the jury, accredited press, Spanish distributors and invited programmers from the European film festivals — 50–140 premium units per edition.
Premium hard-bound notebooks stamped with the sponsor's seal, Basque gourmet sets (txakolí from Álava, Idiazábal cheese, Rioja Alavesa wines, Loyola chocolates), numbered limited editions of the festival's catalogue, bilingual Spanish-Basque-English packaging and named delivery to the Teatro Principal dressing room, the festival's hotel in the Ensanche or the Artium offices.
The brand operation at the Vitoria Film Festival is usually coordinated between Bilbao and Madrid: the Bilbao production hub handles most graphic and light textile pieces, while the Madrid hub serves as the backup warehouse for special pieces (gift sets, premium packaging, Basque gourmet boxes). Delivery is by road to a named consignee — the festival's headquarters by the Ensanche, the reference hotel on Calle de la Paz, the Artium Museum's offices on Calle de Francia or the storage enabled at the Teatro Principal Antzokia. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with prior appointment, since the festival runs in November and the AP-1 towards Bilbao carries heavy weekend traffic.
We keep reserved stock at the Bilbao hub for the recurring items — softshells, notebooks and tote bags with generic artwork — that we can produce and ship in 7–10 working days. For pieces with personalised embroidery (sponsor's monogram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For sponsors with bespoke hospitality pieces (numbered sets with Álava ceramics, customised Rioja Alavesa cases) we recommend closing the order 4–5 weeks before the first screening due to the seasonality of the gourmet products and the cold-chain handling of the Idiazábal cheese.
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 VAT citing the corresponding EU directive article. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note on arrival and, when the client requests it, with a photo of the unloaded material at the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca or in the Artium lobby.
