FIRES

Documentary filmmaker León Siminiani, winner of the 2023 Goya Award or EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE 1959, delivers a gripping account of the devastating impact of wildfires. With unprecedented access to Spain’s Military Emergency Unit (UME), the film takes viewers to the heart of the flames, capturing the fear of affected communities and the intensity of those fighting the fires. Combining immersive filmmaking with investigative journalism, it also examines institutional failures and the urgent need for science-based prevention.

A harrowing documentary that recalls, through striking and heart-wrenching footage shot from the very heart of the flames, the wildfires that devastated half of Spain in the summer of 2025; it also analyses their consequences, seeks to uncover the causes of a catastrophe of this magnitude, and calls for solutions to prevent it from happening again in the future.
