Specific Characteristics The winner of the short film competition is automatically nominated for the European Film Awards.Evaluation A popular festival, well regarded for its pleasant atmosphere. An increasing number of independent producers and directors make important contacts here. A convivial meeting point for Spanish and Latin American distributors in the field of "author films". Some distributors plan their theatrical release until after the festival in order to use the excellent press coverage. Concentrating on Latin American and Spanish films the festival has become one of the most important events of Spain, after San Sebastián.
