[C]SCREEN is a shortfilm exhibition proposed by the [PLAT ARTÍSTIC] cultural project platform in Cerdanyola del Vallès, in the surroundings of Barcelona (Catalunya, Spain).

Its main goal is to show the latest cinematographic trends from all around the world, with quality films in a wide budget range. In addition, it aims to sensitize those who are unfamiliar with or less informed about new ways of making cinema. We want to culturally enrich Cerdanyola -our town-. We will not charge the public with any entrance fee for watching the shortfilms, it is completely free.

The festival is presented in two parts, in two opposite year periods: in spring with screendance (April) and in autumn with the rest of fiction (mainly October)

This FICTION FALL (October), dedicated to all fiction shortfilms!

Awards & Prizes

[C]SCREEN is organized by the non-profit association [Plat Artístic] and without sponsors or any other entity that gives us money. That means that the prize MAY DEPEND of the quantity of submissions (and, as you can see, the submission fee is quite symbolic). Read below:

* All the selected films will receive a Laurel as Official Selection of the [C]Screen Festival - Fiction Fall.
* Among the selected, the films considered the best will have an Inktip prize package (promotion of your script) and a symbolic cash reward.

We give three prizes (it's not related exactly to the categories, they only help us to program):
- Best National Film
- Best International Film
- Kids award

(Choice made by differents associations or people related to [Plat Artístic] and the audience)

There will NOT be any awards ceremony. And we do not pay any travel/accommodation expense if the selected author(s) films want to be present in the festival. Unfortunately we do not have enough resources to do that.

The nationality of the director/choreographer determines the category in which the film is included. Like this, a short film produced out of Spain by a Spanish director/choreographer will be in the national category.
