CortoEspaña arrives in Salamanca with the help of Salamanca Film Commission

Granero street, in the Barrio del Oeste, will host the Itinerant Festival CortoEspaña from May 25 to June 29, at 10:15 PM, under the name “Summer Short Film Cinema”.

This national event, now in its seventh edition, is being held in our city for the first time thanks to the efforts made by Salamanca Film Commission in collaboration with El Granero bar, Javier Díez, and ZOES. During May and June, spectators will be able to enjoy the best selection of short films from the Spanish audiovisual scene for free.

The screenings are divided into three blocks: the first, which will take place on May 25, will consist of a single screening of the winning short films from previous editions of CortoEspaña; the second block will take place on June 1, 8, 15, and 22, and will feature the short films competing this year, plus the audience will be able to vote for their favorite piece. Finally, there will be a third block on Thursday, June 29, where thematic and non-competitive short films will be screened, this year focusing on children's stories.

CortoEspaña is an initiative created for the exhibition and promotion of short films in our country, whose objective is to ensure that the short format occupies the relevant position it deserves within the Spanish audiovisual landscape. CortoEspaña holds more than 150 events a year, including festivals and thematic cycles, bringing short films throughout Spanish geography.

One of the peculiarities of the Festival is the enormous importance of all the spectators who attend the circuit's festivals. All public votes will be entirely compiled to determine which works are, on average, the audience's favorites, and in this way receive the first, second, third, or fourth Audience Award, endowed respectively with 2,000, 1,000, 500, and 250 euros respectively.
