After a successful first edition, the Denys Film Festival returns for its second edition, celebrating creativity, boldness, and cinematic discovery. This annual event honors young talents in international cinema, bringing together filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts for two days of screenings, discussions, and encounters in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The festival is dedicated to fiction short films that push the boundaries of storytelling and form. We proudly showcase the work of independent filmmakers with unique and visionary perspectives. Our mission is to offer a platform for emerging voices and give audiences the opportunity to discover innovative films that explore deep and thought-provoking themes.
A festival that rises from the underground, with no red carpets or walkways. It’s a space for those who live and breathe fantastic cinema in all its forms: horror, science fiction, supernatural thriller, dark fantasy and anything bold enough to break the rules.
¡For one weekend, we’ll come together to watch what’s emerging from the most restless minds of the Madrid and the international film community! Short films made with grit, with passion, without big budgets but with big ideas. We’re not looking for big names or shelves full of international awards. Here the production value doesn’t matter: ¡what matters is creativity and the desire to shake the audience!
Celaya Experimental Film Fest is a platform for the creation and exhibition of audiovisual works that focus on technical, conceptual, and narrative experimentation. The festival welcomes artists who have transgressed and transcended the boundaries of aesthetics, technique, and semiotics to break the dominant standards of the industry. We believe that experimental cinema is free, radical, and forward-thinking, while also responding to the anthropological, social, artistic, and philosophical need to explore horizons beyond the hegemonic forms of cinematic creation, discovering authentic ways of making audiovisual art.
The III SEA FILM FESTIVAL will be held from 20 to 26 April 2026 in the town of Marín.
The Cultural Association for a Sea Museum for Marín is the organizing entity of this festival. Since its creation, the Marin Sea Museum has had as one of its main objectives the recovery of the seafaring identity of the town of Marín, as well as the conservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage linked to the sea, maritime and seafaring culture, especially among the new generations. On the other hand, the Galician language is an indissoluble part of our culture. Language and the sea are two fundamental elements to understand and disseminate our identity. Therefore, the Sea Film Festival is fully within the objectives of the Marin Sea Museum.
The Cine do Mar Festival promotes the appreciation of the sea as an ecosystem and awareness of the importance of its protection and conservation, as well as the dignity of trades related to the sea and the recognition of people who have dedicated and dedicate their lives to work both at sea and on land directly or indirectly linked to the world of fishing and shellfishing.
The Cine do Mar Festival is an event that promotes creation in the Galician language and contributes to the promotion, dissemination and defense of the Galician language, encouraging the normalization of the use of Galician in cultural activities. Among its main objectives are to promote the use of the Galician language among the population, particularly among children and youth; as well as the promotion of artistic creation in the audiovisual field in the Galician language aimed at children and youth, age ranges where Galician has less use and prestige.
The Cultural Association for a Sea Museum for Marín is calling for the third edition of this festival.

The functioning of the festival, open to all types of audiences, is very simple: among all the short films received, a final selection will be made, which will be the one screened in the different sessions of the festival (which will take place in different Spanish cities at throughout the summer). Assistants to each of these projections will be the ones in charge of choosing their favoire short film. The short film that gets the most votes will win the Best Short Film Award of the festival.

Steubenville is a steel town sheltered by shale cliffs along the waters of the Ohio, called by Native Americans the O-Y-O, by the French the Belle Rivière. This land has been for centuries the site of the clash of continents, the rise and fall of empires. This valley has been a place of bloodshed and beauty, of exploration and loss. Steel was forged here in molten fire, Mafia bosses feasted, American industry rose and fell. This is a place rife with story, where a Renaissance of arts is rising in the streets. This is a land of stories, and we are seeking yours.
