Logo of Santander International Independent Film Festival (2027) - SANFICI

SANFICI is a space to generate meetings at different levels, with an overcoming and innovative will. First of all, it is a space for the relationship between spectators, filmmakers and theorists around cinema and all border and heterodox manifestations. Secondly, it is a special and temporary meeting point.

SANFICI wants to become, year after year, the place of convergence for world independent cinema. But it also wants to be the space where the past and the future dialogue. The place where the most diverse film traditions are embraced with their riskiest proposals.

Since its creation in 2013, the Santurtzi Film Festival has gradually evolved to become a benchmark event in the Basque Country, expanding fields of action and gaining in solidity. Always faithful to its three founding axes –the socio-cultural promotion of the municipality, the connection with the community from the artistic point of view and the promotion and professionalization of new directors– the original motto of "cinema at street level" has consolidated a distinctive personality –close, participatory cinema with a social vocation– that has served as a platform for emerging filmmakers and for cultural revitalization, social and economic of Santurtzi.

The great success of SZ has been to position itself as a platform for emerging Basque cinema: to screen and give space to [...]

The One Shot Terrassa City of Film is a film festival that takes back the old Sequence Shot Contest organised in Terrassa between 2004 and 2012. It came last year again, and we're following the success. So this is the 16th Edition of the festival.

The particularity of this festival is that ONLY ACCEPTS ONE SHOT FILMS. What does it mean? As is well known, is about telling a story - at least 3 minutes long - in just a single shot, that is: no cutting or image editing.

In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.

The festival will take place during the week from November 26th to 28rd 2026.
