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 [...]

About the festival

If we had to define Facom Fest in a single phrase, as a tagline, it would be: “A Galician festival for students”. This leaves us with two main focuses of interest: on the one hand, our unwavering commitment to promoting Galician projects; and, on the other hand, the emphasis on “students”. Unlike previous editions, this 4th edition aims to give visibility not only to works created by Galician students, but also by students from any region of the world. We believe that our condition as students is vital for establishing dialogues and debates, identifying common or divergent points, and above all, learning. Even though we are still in training, this international initiative aspires to give us the ability to teach — this time, we, the global student body, to [...]

Os Prêmios Quirino nascem da necessidade de reconhecer o talento na indústria da animação ibero-americana, criando laços e redes entre ambos os lados do oceano.

Everything begins with an idea, a line, a movement — a spark born on a sheet of paper, that comes to life and starts to move.

It’s this magic that Bellecour École and Filmoramax have decided to celebrate together through a student animation film competition, entirely dedicated to the young talents who will shape the cinema of tomorrow.

Behind this project lies a shared ambition: to offer a stage to the new generation of artists, allowing them to express their vision, tell their stories, and reveal to audiences the emotional power of animation.
This competition is much more than a contest — it’s a meeting point:
between the school and the festival, between students and professionals, between passion and the future.

Throughout the day, participants and the public will dive [...]
