Magaluf will host the first edition of Vertifest on 24 and 25 November 2026<\/strong>, the first festival in the Balearic Islands dedicated to vertical series. Over two days, the event will bring together creators, production companies, platforms, brands, screenwriters, directors and investors to explore the potential of an audiovisual format designed for mobile phone screens.<\/p>\n

The initiative, launched by Calvi\u00e0 Town Council, comes at a time when vertical fiction is experiencing significant growth. These are series designed to be watched in a vertical format, with episodes lasting around two minutes and seasons that can comprise dozens of instalments.<\/p>\n

According to figures from consultancy Omdia, cited by the organisers, the global market generated close to $11 billion in 2025, and forecasts suggest that its value could double by 2030.<\/p>\n
