In the Fragments section, dedicated to documentary shorts, No als poalets, by Laura García Andreu, was honored as Best Valencian Short Film for transforming an everyday conflict into a reflection on contemporary political debates. The Best National Short Film was awarded to La luz que nos guía, by Cristina Rodríguez Paz, praised for its hypnotic cinematic language.
One of the novelties of this edition was the El Águila Award, presented to La Pietà, by Rafa Molés and Pepe Andreu, for their reflection on the loss of glaciers from an authorial perspective.
