One of the most special sessions of this #9 edition will be the screening of what is probably the most representative film within the sword and sorcery subgenre: Conan the Barbarian.

With it we pay tribute to the actor from Vigo Luis Barboo, who was forever immortalized in this John Milius film playing the role of Rexor.

With this tribute, the festival seeks to vindicate the figure of Luis Barboo, as well as to highlight the work of stuntmen and supporting actors, those essential professionals who often remain anonymous, despite being fundamental to the magic of cinema.
