The Cadaqués Shortfilm Festival is born from the collaboration between the City Council of Cadaqués and Cadaqués Shortfilm Festival.
The CSF 2021 is recognized and is part of the official calendars of the ICCA (Ministry of culture of Spain) and Catalan Films
The initial spirit of the CSF is a competitive short film festival with special projections related to Cadaqués and Surrealism, in this sense, nothing better than the Festival inaugurated with the projection of the iconic film of this movement, "Un Chien andalou" by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí.
The CSF includes the Experimental and Surrealist Film Festival as Official Sections, a differentiated feature of this festival, with a clear international vocation.
Cadaqués, known worldwide for its most illustrious habitant, Salvador Dalí, is the ideal place for a film festival of these characteristics.
Besides, from competitive Official Sections, the CSF will include samples of other relevant International Circuit Festivals.
It's in Festivals of this format in the short film about and educates the viewer in this film typology, hoping that soon, the CSF will be a referential Festival in the rich cultural activity of Cadaqués.
