Casyc Up in Santander hosted the second Migrant Film Festival from 5 to 9 June 2013. Concerts, workshops and round-table discussions were also scheduled on Calle del Sol and at the Eureka Cultural Centre.

The festival presented 30 films from 14 countries, telling stories of small boats carrying migrants, real-life experiences and the search for a better life, among other subjects.
