The 8th edition of the Salamanca Short Film Festival comes to an end
Tomorrow, July 8th, starting at 10:15 PM on Granero street, the awards ceremony for the 8th edition of the Salamanca Short Film Festival will take place. The ceremony will present the Audience Award, valued at 250 euros, and the Jury Award, valued at 500 euros. In addition to the winning short films, the out-of-competition short films “Óscar desafinado” by Mikel Alvariño and “El corredor” by JL Montesinos will be screened.
The 8th Salamanca Short Film Festival has received a total of 844 short films sent from various parts of the world since the registration period opened in February and closed on April 4th.
The screenings are public and free during Thursdays in June, specifically on June 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th. All of them will be outdoors (on Granero street in Salamanca's Oeste neighborhood) starting at 10:15 PM, and each will last approximately sixty minutes. Among the selected short films are works that have participated in festivals such as Cannes, Sitges, Toronto, or Málaga.
An Official Jury, composed of seven professionals related to the film industry and audiovisual teaching, will deliberate on the Jury Award among the finalist short films, and attendees at each screening will be able to vote for their favorite short films for the Audience Award.
Last year, the festival registered a thousand public votes during its seventh edition, and it is expected that this year the attendance will mirror that of other festivals.
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 cinematographic promotion office, the ZOES neighborhood association, and the sponsorship of Mahou and Coca Cola (Nordic Mist).
