The première of the “Biomechanical Symphony”, conceived for the Alien Saga music, was played in the first part of the concert, and the second half focused on a tribute to Jerry Goldsmith, both acclaimed by the audience in the Auditorium. During the concert, “El Supositorio” comic group gave their particular comedy touch to the evening.
 
The Festival also gave its first FIMUCITÉ Awards to acknowledge those composers and professionals involved in film music. The composers Joel McNeely and Mark Snow, and the producer of Varese Sarabande, Robert Townson, were awarded with the First, Second and Third FIMUCITÉ Awards.

The FIMUCITÉ Award, an elegant sculpture made by the Canary artist Eugenio Correa Rijo, which represents the composer’s love for his scores, was also given in memoriam to Jerry Goldsmith on the 80th anniversary of his birth. His widow, Carol Goldsmith, received the Award and thanked the Festival for the opportunity of listening again, live, to the best scores composed by his husband.
