"Identity and Cultural Diversity".

We understand identity as a process of change and constant search, which nurtures cultural diversity and questions traditional icons. And we understand cinema as a reflection of peoples, their cultures and identities.

We understand cultural diversity as a force that promotes community empathy and enriches people's daily lives.

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 11th 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 27th to 29rd 2025.

Chulpicine began its work in 2002 with the first ever Itinerant Children & Youth Film Festival in Quito.
