One more year, the festival intends to continue recovering the Galician amateur film heritage. After the Carta Branca granted to Ezequiel Méndez in 2018, the screening of Eugenio Granell's films, the recovery of Vidal Bolaño's facet as a filmmaker or the rehabilitation of Grupo Lupa's materials through the figure of Euloxio Ruibal, in 2024 the festival proposes to give visibility to Equipo 64's work. Gonzalo Anaya, Enrique Banet and Ezequiel Méndez himself (responsible for the mythical Cine-Club Universitario) founded and co-directed —as Equipo 64— the following 16 mm documentaries sponsored by the Caja de Ahorros de Santiago: El Camino de Santiago; Malpica; Cuatro plazas, El Pórtico de Compostela ou Compostela. A Castelao script was also made but was not produced due to the team's dissolution. Several unpublished scripts have also been deposited in the Filmoteca de Galicia. In 1964, Anaya, Banet, and Méndez, with a portable film camera, a good dose of inexperience, and boundless determination, made an unforgettable journey to Roncesvalles to film the pilgrims; they managed to set up scaffolding in front of the Pórtico da Gloria (ceded by the Cine Metropol after being used to install a Todd-AO format screen). They plunged into the heart of the Costa da Morte. The copies of these films are deposited in the Filmoteca de Galicia and have not been shown publicly in Compostela for more than 50 years.
