Mediterranean film cycle · October · Alicante
For sponsor delegations, brand activators and attending teams taking part in the Alicante Mediterranean Film Festival (Alicante, programming spread across the Teatro Principal —the historic 19th-century coliseum on the Rambla— and other city venues), with international jury, themed retrospectives, directing masterclasses and a brand-activation operation that combines hospitality in Old Town hotels, receptions at the Port and a sustained after-office at the chiringuitos along Postiguet Beach. EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 24–48 h delivery from the Alicante/Valencia/Madrid hub.
The Alicante Mediterranean Film Festival is one of the most recognisable autumn film dates on the Spanish Mediterranean arc: a cycle that brings together films from Mediterranean-rim countries (Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, North Africa, Lebanon, Israel, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania) with a competitive official section, themed retrospectives of classic Mediterranean cinema, directing masterclasses held at the Teatro Principal —the historic 19th-century coliseum on the Rambla— and round-table discussions with European programmers. The event draws a stable audience of Alicante cinephiles, national and regional cultural press, Mediterranean distributors and delegations of Iberian and Italian production companies scouting the market.
For sponsor delegations and brand-activation teams the operational challenge is to work with a film festival in Mediterranean autumn: Alicante climate in October swings from 26 °C during the day to 18 °C at night, last-mile logistics depend on A-31 or AP-7 motorway traffic toward Madrid and Valencia and hospitality is set up in Old Town hotels (Hotel Meliá Alicante, Hotel Spa Porta Maris, Hotel AC Alicante) or corporate apartments on the seafront. The briefs we typically receive combine light, breathable staff apparel for the residual Mediterranean heat, lanyards and badges for accredited guests and press, premium notebooks and bookmark sets as collectible gifts and final gifting sets with Alicante products (D.O. Alicante wine, Jijona turrón, Rambla ceramics) for Mediterranean distributors and invited programmers.
The Alicante production hub — with fallback to the Valencia and Madrid hubs — handles the entire order and delivers by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to the named consignee in Alicante: the sponsor's office in Alicante city, the reference hotel in the Old Town, the local production company's offices next to the City Hall or the dressing room enabled at the Teatro Principal. 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.
White shirts and 220 GSM polos in Mediterranean tones (off-white, cream, sand) with two-colour screen-print or embroidery of the sponsor's monogram, linen jackets for the hall team, straw hats for sunset receptions at the Port and canvas aprons for the press booth at the Teatro Principal.
Premium notebooks with covers wrapped in Alicante craft paper, fine-tip pens engraved with the festival seal, organic-cotton tote bags screen-printed with the Castle of Santa Bárbara skyline, themed-retrospective DVDs in limited edition, enamel pins with the Mediterranean anchor and linen bookmark ribbons for the printed programmes — 200 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 welcome team, screen-printed notebook + pen sets for programming delegates, national cultural press and invited Mediterranean distributors — 50–120 premium units per edition.
Premium hard-bound notebooks stamped with the sponsor's seal, Alicante gourmet sets (D.O. Alicante wine, Jijona turrón, comarca olive oil), limited editions of the festival catalogue with photographs of the retrospective, bilingual Spanish-English-Valencian packaging and named delivery to the Teatro Principal dressing room, Old Town hotel or local production company headquarters.
The brand operation at the Alicante Mediterranean Film Festival is usually coordinated between Alicante, Valencia and Madrid: the Alicante hub handles most graphic and light textile pieces, while the Valencia hub serves as the regional warehouse and Madrid acts as backup for special pieces (gift sets, Alicante ceramics, premium packaging). Delivery is by road to the named consignee — sponsor's office in Alicante city, reference hotel in the Old Town, local production company offices next to the City Hall or the storage enabled at the Teatro Principal. The usual delivery window is 24–48 hours with prior appointment, since the cycle coincides with the Puente del Pilar long weekend and the A-31 towards Madrid carries heavy weekend traffic.
We keep reserved stock at the Alicante hub for the recurring items — white shirts, 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 (Alicante gourmet boxes, numbered sets with Rambla ceramics) 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 Jijona turrón.
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 in the Teatro Principal lobby or in the Old Town courtyard.
Historically in October, with screenings and masterclasses at the Teatro Principal de Alicante and other city venues. Exact dates for each edition are confirmed in the Alicante City Council cultural agenda and on the festival website.
Yes, to a named consignee: sponsor's office in Alicante city, reference hotel in the Old Town, local production company offices next to the City Hall or dressing room of the Teatro Principal.
