SciFi BCN opens its first edition with a special Opening Gala featuring the screening of a science-fiction classic, presented in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
The Opening Gala sets the tone for the festival: a shared cinematic experience that brings together the genre’s past, present, and future. Revisiting a film that has shaped the imagination of generations is also a way of reaffirming what SciFi BCN stands for—science fiction as spectacle, as thought experiment, and as collective memory.
An evening to celebrate science fiction on the big screen, and to officially kick off the first edition of SciFi BCN.

SciFi BCN té l’orgull de presentar El hombre perseguido por un O.V.N.I., una peça clau de la història del cinema català i la primera pel·lícula de ciència-ficció realitzada a Catalunya.
En la primera edició de SciFi BCN, mirar cap als orígens del gènere era gairebé una obligació. Programar la primera pel·lícula catalana de ciència-ficció en la primera edició del festival és un gest carregat de simbolisme i, alhora, una declaració d’intencions: SciFi BCN vol entendre la ciència-ficció no només com una mirada cap al futur, sinó també com un patrimoni cultural viu.
La projecció comptarà amb la presència de Juan Carlos Olaria, director del film, una oportunitat excepcional per redescobrir aquesta obra de culte de la mà del seu creador.
