History

The festival was started in 1990,[1][2] initially called the "International Week of Fantastic Cinema of the University of Málaga", as a fantastic genre film exhibition. The promoter of the idea was Ramón Reina, who held the position of director during 19 editions.[3][4][5]

In its first years, the festival presented a collection of the best

fantasy films in the history of the fantastic genre. In 1997, it assumed an international competition character, emphasising fantastic contemporary films that are being produced, apart from the classic movies sample.[citation needed

In the 2008 edition, the organization was renamed the International Fantastic Film Festival, and its hallmark is Fancine.

Julio Médem, Álex de la Iglesia, and Pedro Almodóvar) created the new logo and posters.[4]

In the 2010 edition, Fernando Ocaña, is appointed the new director. He will be responsible for managing the festival until 2013.[6]

Since 2014, a committee has been in charge of the direction, comprising members of the different academic sections of the University of Málaga: professors, students, and administrative and services staff.[citation needed]
