Opening FRIDAY, February 6th 2026
At the dawn of the modern era, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (Gael García Bernal) navigated a fleet of ships to Southeast Asia, attempting the first voyage across the vast Pacific Ocean. On reaching the Malay Archipelago, the crew pushed to the brink of madness in the harshness of the high seas and overwhelming natural beauty of the islands, Magellan's obsession leads to a rebellion and reckoning with the consequences of power. A vast, globe-spanning epic from Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz (NORTE, THE END OF HISTORY), MAGELLAN presents the colonization of the Philippines as a primal, shocking encounter with the unknown and a radical retelling of European narratives of discovery and exploration.

The Spokane International Film Festival (SpIFF) is an intimate festival where filmmakers and audiences engage the art of cinema. We offer a small, selective offering of world-class films. These are the very best features, documentaries, and shorts that have been made around the world during the past year but have not yet been commercially released.
​
The festival is overseen by its parent, the Contemporary Arts Alliance of Spokane, with an active Board of Directors and generous financial support from a variety of local and regional underwriters.
​
“From the amazing selection of films … to the wonderful audiences that came out, I could not have asked for a better time. I’m honored to have been a guest at such a cool festival…”
Howard Ng, Director of The Inquisitive Snail
​
"The venues, events and staff were well organized, impressive and memorable, and I've yet to encounter a more engaged, enthusiastic and conversational audience.”
- Ian Ebright, Writer/Director of From the Sky
​
“The festival brought together a thoughtful group of filmmakers and provided a platform for participation, something too often lost at larger events. Overall, I found it to be a great town with a lot of heart, and an outstanding film festival with a strong sense of community.”
- Adam Michael Becker, Director / Cinematographer of REAL CHANGE
