GIJÓN, Spain — Taking place in northern Spain under two monhs after the San Sebastián International Film Festival and linked to it by the Cross Roads initiative, the 64th Gijón International Film Festival (FICX) lineup stacks many of the year’s most talked-about features from international festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Sundance.

At the same time, running Nov. 13-20, the festival serves as a springboard for new local talent into the international arena, which the festival has championed for decades.
