The seventh edition of the Salamanca Short Film Festival comes to an end
The event will begin at 10:00 PM and will feature the screening of the winning short films and the awards ceremony. The ceremony will be led by actor and theater director Roberto G. Encinas. Behind us are the five screenings of the short films submitted to the competition, which have once again been a great public success.
The Festival has taken place over a month and a half (between May and July) with public and free screenings in the Oeste neighborhood of Salamanca, specifically on Thursdays, May 28, June 4, 18, and 25, and July 2 and 9.
The registration period for short films opened on February 11 and concluded on March 26. During this time, the organization received 541 short films, both national and international. From the 541 shorts, 30 works were selected as finalists for the competition, some of them winners or with a presence at important international festivals such as Cannes.
An Official Jury, composed of seven professionals related to the film industry and audiovisual education, deliberated among the 30 finalist short films. From this vote, the Jury Prize, awarded with 500 euros, was granted. Additionally, attendees at the screenings were able to choose the winning short film for the Audience Award, prized at 200 euros, through a direct voting system. We will know the results this Thursday.
The Festival Jury is composed of: Miguel Ángel Refoyo (short film director), Enrique Cantabrana (Salamanca Film Commission), José Antonio Pérez Bowie (Professor at the University of Salamanca and director of the literature and cinema studies group: Gelyc), Beatriz Miguel (Graduate in Communication and festival organizational staff), José Luis Díez (Cinephile and regular follower of the Festival), Carlos Lobato (Co-organizer of the festival), and Javier Díez (Audiovisual producer, image professor, and festival director).
The event, which has been held since 2007, has the support of the Salamanca City Council through the Salamanca Film Commission, the ZOES Neighborhood Association, and the sponsorship and collaboration of Mahou, Coca Cola (Nordic Mist), and Coworking ÁrtyCo.
