La Noche del Corto Español is reinventing itself to increase its commitment to national talent. In one of its most significant transformations, this iconic section is launching as a competition, reaffirming the festival’s commitment to the short format. Each year, the program offers an exceptional overview of auteur short films, focusing on the most daring and necessary perspectives. Ten works that, through fiction, animation, or documentary, demonstrate the inexhaustible diversity of our cinema.
