Once again, Almeria welcomes a great international film selection in its Thirteenth Edition of the International Festival of Short Films “Almeria en Corto” (“Almeria in Short”). The film festival is a great option for those who are enjoying a few days of holidays at our Almeria Hotel and a fantastic opportunity to enjoy one of the world’s most emblematic festivals within the genre.
After the success of the previous editions, the International Festival of Short Films returns to the Municipal Auditorium Maestro Padilla, counting with the collaboration of great part of the Almeria population, as the Festival has become a tradition within the “Land of Cinema”.
The Festival starts today, December 2, and will stay with us until next December 6. Once again, especial spots within the Festival will be designated as meeting points for national and international filmmakers, critics and historians. Also, the event has the intention to add value to the project “Almeria, the Land of Cinema” and the city’s cinematographic history.
The even agenda will also include several exhibitions such as the International Contest of Photography “Almeria, the Land of Cinema” and the exhibition of the different projects presented for the contest for the corporative image of the Festival. The Inauguration Gala and Tribute Award “Almería, the Land of Cinema” will be hosted from 9pm.
During the days of the Festival there will be several visits to the House of Cinema in Almeria. Also workshops related to the main topic of the festival will be held. The festival will screen several short films and other satellite activities such as the Marathon 48x3, make-up and children characterization workshops, conferences, book presentations will be featured. As well as many other surprises that you should not miss.
