THE YOUNG FILMMAKERS FESTIVAL

THE FESTIVAL
Organized by the Granada City Council, Granada Provincial Council, the Culture and Historical Memory Delegation and the AguaGranada Foundation, the Young Filmmakers Festival has been committed for three decades to the discovery of new talents, celebrating the diversity of contemporary cinema with a special interest in debut films and short films by the most promising filmmakers on the world scene. An international festival, open to the selection of films that explore new audiovisual forms without distinction of genre, duration or format.

The twenty-eighth edition will take place from October 25 to 30, 2022 in order to generate a space for reflection and meeting between creators, industry professionals and the public of Granada. A place of experimentation and approximation between artistic expressions that continues the trail left by the Granada-born filmmaker José Val del Omar, whose influence is historically linked to the contest, which awards the Val del Omar Award for the best film.

With the Isabel la Católica Theater as the main venue, different proposals will fuse cinema and live music. Special sessions with which to bring the public closer to the creators and recover the value of the big screen experience.

The Palacio de Conde Gabias will host the sessions of the International Competition and the Aguaespejo Competition, while La Madraza, the Espacio V Centenario and the Filmoteca de Andalucía will be other spaces that will host events and screenings related to the festival, which will include master classes, round tables, concerts, presentations and training activities to take cinema beyond the theater, overflowing the city.
