Mostra De Curtas Vila De Noia - Pitching ()

Início do Festival: 14 Novembro 2025      Fim do Festival: 16 Novembro 2025

XXVI MOSTRA INTERNACIONAL DE CURTAMETRAXES VILA DE NOIA

The XXVI Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia extends the submission deadline and publishes the official regulations for this year’s edition.
The Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia announces the extension of the short film submission deadline until 2:00 p.m. on September 15, 2025.
This decision was made after considering the feedback received from several distributors, directors, and film industry professionals regarding the regulations published on June 15. Those rules introduced substantial changes compared to previous editions, and given that they were implemented late in the year, they risked limiting the participation of many filmmakers who usually adapt their works to the traditional criteria of the Mostra.
Consequently, the organization has published the official and definitive regulations for the XXVI edition, returning to the historical framework of the festival. These rules ensure a stable, transparent, and respectful regulatory environment for the filmmaking community.
With this measure, the Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia reaffirms its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and the promotion of audiovisual creation, guaranteeing the conditions necessary to maintain the trust of participants, distributors, and the general public.
