Filmserè - Festival Internacional de Curtmetratges de La Florida (6)

Inicio Festival: 25 mayo 2024      Fin Festival: 05 junio 2024

At the end of May of 2024, la Florida will host the 6th edition of FILMSERÈ - International Short Film Festival of La Florida. This project is perfect for the students of the subject of Cinema that is carried out in the Institut Eduard Fontserè high school, of the own neighborhood, with the guidance of two teachers linked to the world of cinema. It is an event organized by neighbors to neighbors, where the other residents of L'Hospitalet, Barcelona and elsewhere are also invited. It is an international festival, with big open-air screenings, where short films received from all over the world will participate, and which for the moment has received the support of the Pla Integral Les Planes-Blocs Florida of l'Hospitalet City Council.


Short films of all kinds will be screened, with a single requirement: that they be of the highest quality and with high doses of entertainment. Fiction, documentary, animation and experimental shorts and video clips are accepted. There are several prizes, some of them in cash, and among them a special award for the best short film on social issues.

Apart from an official jury formed by people related to the world of cinema and the arts, we will also have a jury of neighbors, a young jury, a grand jury, a jury of associations and social entities of the neighborhood and a student jury. Our ambition is not to create a small event, but a festival that has nothing to envy those of other parts of the territory. The festival has both open air and indoor screenings. Public attendance in 2021 was 400 spectators along six sessions, and 500 spectators in 2022 along 5 sessions.

The festival will have the following awards:
Economic awards:

Award for the best short film and the best direction according to the official jury: € 500

Award for the best short film on social themes according to the social jury: € 250

Award for the best short film in catalan according to the catalan jury: € 250

Award for the best animation short film according to the official jury: € 250

Other prizes (not economic): Best Protography Award, Best Sound/Soundtrack Award, Best Editing Award, Best Performance Award, and Best Script Award all of them by the Official Jury.
