Festival de Cine Descubierto (4)

Фестиваль начинается: 07 Май 2026      Фестиваль заканчивается: 10 Май 2026

Descubierto Film Festival emerges as a meeting place between spectators and audiovisual creators of the fantasy genre.

The competitive selection of short films will be interested in bringing together works with fantasy themes with risky visual languages ​​and innovative proposals. On the other hand, there will be a regional film show where the filmography of local authors will be exhibited. In this way, we seek to be a window for stories told from different perspectives.

Additionally, the Festival will organize parallel activities aimed at complementing the cultural programming.

Best Shortfilm.
Best Cinematography.
