After the success of the first two editions, we are organizing the Third Edition of the Majadahonda International Social Film Festival (MISFE’26). We are driven by the belief that cinema is a tool for social transformation and that, by promoting the dissemination of critical and high-quality filmmaking, we can educate and raise awareness within the community about important social issues.
MISFE’26 is beginning to establish itself as a showcase for filmmaking talent that addresses and highlights socially relevant topics, as we believe films can serve as educational tools and catalysts for dialogue on meaningful issues.
We aim to contribute to the development of Majadahonda and enrich its cultural offerings, as the diversity of films presented at the festival enhances the community’s cultural life by exposing residents to a variety of stories, perspectives, and artistic expressions.
We believe cinema has the unique power to touch our emotions and awaken empathy. For this reason, hosting this festival gives us the opportunity to connect on a deeper level with stories that reflect the diversity of our experiences and inspire us to understand and appreciate the richness of the human condition.
Through the short films participating in this third edition, we will explore and celebrate diversity in all its forms: cultural, social, racial, and more. By highlighting diverse narratives, the festival will promote inclusion and mutual understanding, building bridges between communities.
The selected films will not only be entertaining but also inspiring. Through stories of resilience, activism, denunciation, and positive change, the festival will serve as a platform for sharing ideas.
For this Third Edition of MISFE, we are continuing with the parallel section dedicated to School Cinema. In the first two editions of MISFE, the “Sonsoles San Román” Award for Best School Short Film was presented. This year, we want to give this category its own space and identity, increasing visibility and participation for works created in primary, secondary, and high-school education, vocational training centers, and specialized educational institutions.
