4th Les Corts International Short Film Exhibition

Barcelona, Spain


The IV Les Corts International Short Film Festival is a film event organized by students from the Cultural Management Research Project at Institut les Corts, with the support of cultural professionals from Barcelona.

The screenings will take place at different venues: the Josep Maria Trias i Peitx Civic Center, the Pere Quart Civic Center in Les Corts, the La Panarra Youth Center, and the District headquarters in Plaça Comas, during the months of May and June 2026.

The selected short films will be screened (provided the authors give their consent) in three showings: one aimed at students of the Institut Les Corts, another aimed at the general public, which will be screened at the Josep Maria Trias i Peitx Civic Center, and a third, also aimed at the general public, which will be screened at the Les Corts district headquarters in an open-air cinema format.

The festival awards four prizes: three audience awards, one for each showcase, and a special jury prize. In this edition, the special jury prize will be awarded to the best short film among all those dealing with the theme of loss. The jury will interpret the treatment of loss broadly, whether dramatic, comedic, or otherwise, and will reward originality and excellence.

All participating short films are eligible for any of the four awards.

In addition, the winning short films will be programmed (provided their authors agree) in the Pantalla Barcelona cycle, organized by Barcelona City Council.
