The 21st Marbella Film Festival
Marbella International Film Festival brings together artists and creators to present their talents to the commercial world of film professionals, financiers and distributors.
MIFF is the place for filmmakers who want to achieve commercial success as well as displaying their artistic work.
Marbella on the southern coast of Spain is considered one of the most exclusive cities in the world, making it a perfect location for the high calibre MIFF, conveniently placed for filmmakers looking to showcase their work in the glamour and glitz of Marbella while networking with some of the high net-worth international individuals who call Marbella their home.
The 21st Marbella International Film Festival takes place between 7th and 12th October 2026.

For one week each October, Marbella becomes a meeting place for independent filmmakers, producers, distributors, investors and broadcasters from around the world. The 21st edition runs from 7 to 12 October 2026, with the METT Hotel & Beach Resort as the festival hub.
