Festival start: 19 September 2024      Festival end: 22 September 2024

In B-Retina festival we want to find out what the Series B means, and as so emergent talents, consecrated artists and difficult to classify characters will show us how they understand and see the world around us using their inventiveness and boldness.

During the days of the festival we will become a showcase where everything has room, classic films, premieres, web series, lectures, interviews and many surprises. As talent should be appreciated but also recognised, we hold a contest with a 500 Euro prize for best short film, and indeed the worst will also be rewarded.

Best short film, 500€ + trophy (public vote)

Second Best Short, pack of presents + trophy. (Public vote)

Best/worst short film, pack of local craft beer Cornèlia + trophy (award selected by the staff)
