Girona · Catalan autumn circuit
For Mexican independent producers, festival desks and platforms that attend the Festival de Cine de Girona in Catalonia and want to close the Catalan autumn tour with a merch programme that supports screenings, market screenings and distribution conversations in a circuit that points at both Berlin and Madrid.
The Festival de Cine de Girona runs each autumn inside the Catalan and Mediterranean festival circuit that opens at Sitges in early October and accompanies Valladolid, Seminci, Cuenca and Extremadura before closing the year with Ibero-American windows. The Girona edition is an especially welcome stop for Mexican producers and platforms that take documentary, short films and genre cinema to the Catalan circuit, and for festival desks that scout emerging talent in the north-east of the peninsula.
For Mexican producers and festival desks that take a catalogue or delegation to Girona, merch works as one single Catalan autumn programme that covers Sitges, Girona, Valladolid and Seminci with the same design line and the same supplier. One MXN purchase order, one CFDI 4.0 with complemento de pagos for the partial payments between stops, and a set of tees, tote bags and press kits that flies from Mexico City to Barcelona and then travels by road to Girona. Treating the autumn programme as one lot avoids ending up with four different versions of the production-company logo and four close-out calendars nobody can reconcile.
The Mexican delegation that attends Girona usually takes three types of relationships out of the week in Catalonia: distribution conversations with European sales agents who represent Spanish and Latin American independent catalogues and look for films for their Berlin and Rotterdam line-ups; co-production talks with Catalan producers looking for partners for their ICA calls and the Media programme; and the cultural-press contacts in Spanish and Catalan who cover the Mediterranean circuit and are key when the film reaches the Goyas or San Sebastián in a later edition.
The most prized item in the Girona programme is still the film's, festival desk's or platform's premium tee, carried by the director, the producers, the distribution crew and the press agent who accompanies the project on its circuit. Producing the apparel in Mexico under an IMMEX programme and shipping it by air from Mexico City to Barcelona is usually the cleanest route for the small runs of the Catalan circuit — between 80 and 200 units per stop — because carta porte 3.0 covers the transatlantic leg with a single document and USMCA provisions apply to the return of un-delivered pieces.
The post-Girona retention lot ships separately from the festival-week lot, with its own purchase order and its own delivery schedule. A curated box for the European sales agent who opened the distribution conversation, a box for the Catalan producer with whom co-production was discussed, and a set of tees and drinkware for the cultural-press team that covered the film. We treat the post-Girona window as a mini-programme — names, addresses, delivery windows — because office addresses rarely match festival addresses, and the mistake of sending the VIP box to the wrong hotel in the Barri Vell is exactly the mistake that costs a distribution deal.
If you are planning Girona as one stop inside a wider circuit — Sitges, Valladolid, Seminci, San Sebastián, a trade mission to Berlin or Rotterdam — the best move is to discuss the full programme before sending the first lot to production. One design line, one colour palette, one tee weight and one set of packaging for the whole autumn gives you real economies of scale and saves you from ending up in December with maroon Girona tees and blue Valladolid tees when the delegation needed a single autumn programme.
The final shipment for the post-Girona retention leg usually leaves Barcelona for CDMX in one consignment, with one CFDI 4.0, one carta porte 3.0 for the transatlantic leg and named delivery per recipient at each delegation office. When the apparel was produced in Mexico under an IMMEX programme and returns the same way, USMCA provisions apply in full and the close of the autumn fiscal cycle sits in one MXN accounting line.

Tote bags with a trilingual ES-EN-CA press book, lanyards and compact merch for press agents, programmers and critics covering the Catalan circuit.
Curated boxes with a tee, drinkware and press book, sent post-festival to offices of sales agents, distributors and Catalan producers where conversations were opened.
Tees and compact merch for the Mexican team — producers, director, press agent, distribution tandem — who ran Girona and continue to Valladolid, Seminci or San Sebastián.
The Girona programme runs as one lot alongside the rest of the Mexican producer, platform or festival desk's Catalan and Spanish autumn circuit, with its own MXN purchase order, its own CFDI 4.0 and its own carta porte 3.0 for the transatlantic leg. Producing in Mexico under an IMMEX programme and shipping by air from Mexico City to Barcelona covers the circuit's small runs with one fiscal document, while press kits usually pay better when produced locally in Barcelona to react to the final accreditation list. The post-Girona retention leg is routed in one consignment from Barcelona to CDMX, with named delivery per recipient and reconciled against the close of the autumn fiscal cycle.
