The charitable cinema of Cala Llonga benefiting IFCC will feature three screenings showcasing some of the most successful animated films of recent years. A family leisure activity that will begin this Sunday, July 26, at 21:15 hours, with the screening of ‘IF’ (2024), in its original version with Spanish subtitles, followed on August 9 by the film ‘Inside Out’ (2015) and on August 23 by ‘The Croods’ (2013), which will be screened in Spanish with English subtitles to complete this summer cycle filled with cinema, fun, and solidarity.
From the Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer they have wanted to express their gratitude to the Santa Eulària des Riu Town Hall, the Cala Llonga Neighbors Association, and Cinema Paradiso for making a new edition of this charitable initiative possible. “Thanks to the involvement of all of them, we can once again bring outdoor cinema closer to residents and visitors, while raising funds to continue supporting cancer patients in the Pitiusas and their families,” they highlighted from the NGO.
‘IF’ (2024)
IF (2024), produced by John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds, and released in the UK on May 7, 2024, tells the story of a girl who, after going through a difficult episode in her life, discovers an invisible universe inhabited by the imaginary friends that children have forgotten as they grow up.
An animated family film directed by John Krasinski featuring a star-studded cast led by Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, Fiona Shaw, Michael Sarnoski, Bobby Moynihan, Alan Kim, and Catharine Daddario.
Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer
The Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, has been working for 25 years to assist patients and families in the Pitiusas during their cancer treatments, as well as providing medical supplies, brochures, or funding for transfers and treatments outside the islands.
This year IFCC, in collaboration with the Santa Eulària des Riu Town Hall, has launched a pilot project called Hospice, a support service aimed at people with cancer in the final phase of their lives and their families, which is offered free of charge to cancer patients in the municipality with a life expectancy of less than twelve months.
In 2025, the Association funded a new car for the Palliative Care Unit, as well as 46 new recliners and new side tables for the waiting room of the oncology day hospital and the radiology room. Additionally, IFCC continues to promote a new campaign among the island’s society to strengthen the promotion of colon cancer detection, aiming to improve the participation rate, which was only 28% in 2024.
In recent years, the Ibiza and Formentera Association Against Cancer, IFCC, has donated recliners for oncology patients at Can Misses Hospital, as well as televisions and headphones for the chemotherapy room of this reference center in Ibiza and Formentera.
IFCC has also financed, thanks to donations from its many members and the charity events it organizes, the decoration of both the oncology nursing consultation and the Palliative Care Unit consultation, the acquisition of an endoscope for Formentera Hospital, the implementation of a colon cancer and lymphedema screening project in the Pitiusas, and several vehicles for the Palliative Unit.
