“Amors on FIRE!! 2026” film series
The Amors on FIRE!! 2026 series returns to CCCB from 12 to 15 February with a selection from the FIRE!! Festival that understands cinema as a space where stories can burn without asking permission. Nine international feature films make up a programme that crosses borders, ages and contexts to speak of affection, identity and resistance from unaccommodating perspectives.
About this event
The films brought together in this edition place their protagonists in environments that try to define them: social pressure in rural India in Cactus Pears, the weight of machismo and homophobia in the 1980s portrait Sally, or the prejudices that still surround older LGBTIQ+ people in If I Die, It’ll Be of Joy. The journey continues through personal memories and intimate searches in Jimmy in Saigon and Asog, while Jone, a veces and Una baila, la otra no explore bonds built from complicity and difference.
The programme is completed by two Argentine titles that move between humour and emotional intensity: Los amantes astronautas, by Marco Berger, and Tesis sobre una domesticación, directed by Javier van de Couter and starring Camila Sosa Villada. All sessions will be accompanied by introductory presentations inviting audiences to place each work in its context.
More than a themed series, Amors on FIRE!! offers a space to look at love without filters and recognise on screen lives that are still fighting to occupy their place.
