8th Salamanca Short Film Festival
The 8th Salamanca Short Film Festival has received a total of 844 short films submitted from various parts of the world since the registration period opened in February and ended on April 4th. Following the selection process by members of the festival's organization, yesterday the thirty short films selected as finalists to compete for the Jury Prize (€500) and the Audience Award (€250) were announced.
The screenings will be public and free on Thursdays in June, specifically on June 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th. All of them will be outdoors (on Granero street in the Oeste neighborhood of Salamanca) starting at 10:15 PM, and their duration will be around sixty minutes each. Among the selected shorts are works that have participated in festivals such as Cannes, Sitges, Toronto, or Malaga.
An Official Jury composed of seven professionals related to the film industry and audiovisual education will deliberate among the finalist short films for the Jury Prize, and attendees at each of the screenings will be able to vote for the short films they like best for the Audience Award.
Finally, on Friday, July 8th, the screening of the winning short films and the festival's award ceremony will be held, also on Granero street, with actor and theater director Roberto G. Encinas acting as master of ceremonies.
Last year, the festival registered a thousand public votes during its seventh edition, and a similar attendance to other festivals is expected this year.
This is the eighth edition of the Salamanca Short Film Festival, organized by Granero bar and filmmaker Javier Díez (www.javierdiezm.es), which has been held since 2007 and has the collaboration of the Salamanca City Council through its Film Commission office, the ZOES Neighborhood Association, and the sponsorship of Mahou and Coca Cola (Nordic Mist).
