OPEN CALL

Have a short film? We want it!

Are you Spanish and can’t keep your hands off a camera?  Are you a secret master of the short form?  Do you have a family member or neighbor who makes short films? We are looking for daring, eccentric, fun and colorful short films by Spanish filmmakers, working in Spain or abroad.

We need to select our favorite 16 Spanish short films to program at   SHORTMETRAJE and the FESTIVAL OF NEW SPANISH CINEMA (FNSC). Each project will exhibit 8 of these 16 short films.

As you may already know, SHORTMETRAJE is an annual program dedicated to the Spanish short film genre. It is part of SPANISH CINEMA NOW, the legendary Spanish film festival organized by The Film Society of Lincoln Center every December. The FESTIVAL OF NEW SPANISH CINEMA is our travelling festival that, since 2008, exhibits the latest Spanish productions all around the U.S.   Now’s your chance to gain an audience in North America!
