영화제 시작: 27 5월 2026      영화제 끝: 29 5월 2026

From La Cort dels Miracles Association, we are proud to present the first edition of the Viladecavalls Short Film Festival, a space dedicated to discovery, creativity, and the passion for short-form cinema.

Our goal is to turn Viladecavalls into a meeting point for filmmakers, audiences, and cinema lovers, offering a diverse programme that gives voice both to local talent from the Vallès Occidental and to creators from around the world.

The festival features two main sections:

???? Vallès Section, showcasing works made by filmmakers from the region or shot in our surroundings, highlighting the cultural and artistic richness of our local community.

???? International Section, open to productions from other countries, allowing us to enjoy diverse perspectives, new storytelling forms, and realities from across the globe.

With this festival, we aim to promote cinema as a tool for connection, expression, and transformation, and to make Viladecavalls a stage where stories —big or small— can find their audience.

Join us to enjoy, share, and celebrate this feast of short cinema!
