Routes

Itinerarios

SEMINCI is launching a pioneering initiative to guide viewers through the festival: SEMINCI Routes.

These themed routes invite visitors to discover the festival in a personalised and intimate way, tailoring each experience to the interests and sensibilities of each viewer. Visitors can choose the route that best suits their interests and enjoy the festival from a more personal, diverse and participatory perspective.

PEC (Pride, Equality, Community)
A walk to honour the freedom of identity and the dignity of existence. A toast to celebrate our diversity through the seats of SEMINCI. Love, friendship, sensuality, doubt, and healing converge in the search for allies in the quest of the Rainbow Spike.
1
CLIMAX
The most daring side of SEMINCI. Films that take risks, break the mould and throw themselves into experimentation without a safety net. A cinematic journey for those who maintain a youthful and, above all, courageous outlook.
2
SPROUTS
Cinema as a journey to the heart of nature. A walk towards the essential. Films to soil your soles. Poetry on origin and belonging. Stories that sow uncertainty on the question of finding a good place to settle.
3
LOTUS
A journey to the heart of truth and debate. Spontaneous and genuine perspectives. Stories that reemerge... Just like when you step out of the shower and the mist on the mirror reveals the mystery of life. Cloud-shaped films to dissect in company.
4
REBELLIOUS
Stories of rage and courage. Unapologetic yet uncompromising stories. Eva Amaral singing with heart on her sleeve. Marisa Paredes standing before a microphone. The last line of Thelma and Louise.
5
TRAILS
A journey to prove that when imagination prevails, reality is just a dirty sheet of paper. Animation with the SEMINCI stamp. Stories that leap off the page to live on in our memories.
6
PANDORA
At a time when mental health is taking on an importance it never had before, cinema is also seeking its own language to explain trauma and redeem us. SEMINCI opens the pandora's box complex-free. Psychotherapy sessions have never been so cheap, and going to the cinema in Valladolid has never been so exciting.
7
ECHOES OF SEMINCI
The most SEMINCI selection from SEMINCI. A route that needs no further explanation.
8
PARLIAMENT
Cinema as an assembly, the screen as a podium and each shot as a vote of conscience. Here, speeches are not delivered with microphones, but with glances, silences and metaphors. These days, when the political and social climate is more like your family Christmas Eve dinner... This selection of films would win by an absolute majority.
