Nambrocorto is the short film festival of Nambroca, a town located in the province of Toledo, Spain. Since its creation in 2016, its main goal has been to promote artistic creation, audiovisual culture, and a love for cinema among the town’s residents and visitors, by rewarding the creativity and talent of those who participate each year in its call for entries.

What began as a local festival has evolved, thanks to the enthusiasm of the audience and the commitment of its organizers, into a cultural event with great potential. Over its nine previous editions, Nambrocorto has experienced exponential growth in the number of participants, attendees, and activities, becoming a regional reference.

In its 10th edition in 2025, the festival reaffirms its role as a cultural event of regional and national scope, consolidating its expanded format with several days of screenings, workshops, talks, exhibitions, concerts, and interactive activities aimed at all audiences. Audiovisual professionals from all over Spain will once again share their experiences with the community in a participatory and welcoming environment.

Since launching its official website and digital channels in 2021, Nambrocorto has entered a new phase of expansion and visibility. These tools have allowed the festival to broaden its reach nationwide, with the aspiration of soon welcoming international participants.

Workshops, forums, educational activities, artistic showcases, social impact, and digital outreach are at the heart of this tenth edition, reaffirming Nambrocorto as a gathering place for emerging talent and quality cinema—while staying rooted in its community.
