Girona: A Legendary Cinematic Stage

Girona is more than just a city; it is a living film set that breathes history in every corner. Its breathtaking medieval architecture and the iconic Old Quarter (Barri Vell) captivated Hollywood’s biggest producers, serving as the primary filming location for Season 6 of HBO’s "Game of Thrones."

From the grand stairs of the Girona Cathedral—which witnessed the dramatic scenes of Braavos and King's Landing—to the labyrinthine Jewish Quarter where Arya Stark’s journey unfolded, the city has become a global icon of the silver screen.

Hosting the Girona Indie Film Fest (GIFF) here is a tribute to this audiovisual tradition. Our filmmakers don’t just screen their work; they showcase their vision in a city that has already been validated by the highest standards of international cinema.
