The Zentenero Short Film Showcase (MCZ) is an international short film festival celebrating its first edition from July 17 to July 19 in Zentenero, Spain.

MCZ was created with the aim of bringing cinema to rural environments and creating a meeting point between filmmakers and audiences, supporting both emerging and established talent regardless of geographic origin.

Despite being an intimate showcase, its vision is ambitious: to present a carefully curated international official selection and recognize cinematic excellence across multiple artistic and technical disciplines.

Selected films will be screened during the festival dates in front of both the audience and an official jury, which will present several awards as well as the audience award, the "Premio d'o Gurrión".

The One Shot Terrassa City of Film is a film festival that takes back the old Sequence Shot Contest organised in Terrassa between 2004 and 2012. It came last year again, and we're following the success. So this is the 16th Edition of the festival.

The particularity of this festival is that ONLY ACCEPTS ONE SHOT FILMS. What does it mean? As is well known, is about telling a story - at least 3 minutes long - in just a single shot, that is: no cutting or image editing.

In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.

The festival will take place during the week from November 26th to 28rd 2026.
