Ficar Entrimo 2026 (4)

Фестиваль начинается: 05 Июль 2026      Фестиваль заканчивается: 11 Июль 2026

The Rural Galician Short Film Festival is celebrating its fourth edition, consolidating itself as a small-scale cultural initiative in rural Galicia, held in the town of Entrimo (Ourense), in the heart of the Xurés Natural Park. The festival is dedicated to promoting cinema, encouraging community participation, and highlighting the value of the local territory.
Throughout its previous editions, the festival has demonstrated a strong ability to attract audiences and generate a positive impact on local cultural life, becoming a meeting point for audiences, creators, and the region itself.
The festival was awarded the 3rd Prize for Cultural Management 2025 “Adolfo Prada,” granted by the Department of Culture of the Provincial Council of Ourense.

The fourth edition of the festival will focus on comedy and territory in a rural context, placing special emphasis on animation. It will pay particular attention to the Galician rural environment—its landscapes, cultural identity, and ways of life—approached from a humorous and contemporary perspective. At the same time, it will remain open to works from other contexts that align with the project’s theme.

The festival will maintain its open and international spirit, allowing the participation of short films from other regions and encouraging exchange, as it has done in previous editions.
