XXVI MOSTRA INTERNACIONAL DE CURTAMETRAXES VILA DE NOIA

The XXVI Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia extends the submission deadline and publishes the official regulations for this year’s edition.
The Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia announces the extension of the short film submission deadline until 2:00 p.m. on September 15, 2025.
This decision was made after considering the feedback received from several distributors, directors, and film industry professionals regarding the regulations published on June 15. Those rules introduced substantial changes compared to previous editions, and given that they were implemented late in the year, they risked limiting the participation of many filmmakers who usually adapt their works to the traditional criteria of the Mostra.
Consequently, the organization has published the official and definitive regulations for the XXVI edition, returning to the historical framework of the festival. These rules ensure a stable, transparent, and respectful regulatory environment for the filmmaking community.
With this measure, the Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia reaffirms its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and the promotion of audiovisual creation, guaranteeing the conditions necessary to maintain the trust of participants, distributors, and the general public.

Terrassa, Spain


The One Shot Terrassa City of Film is a film festival that takes back the old Sequence Shot Contest organised in Terrassa between 2004 and 2012. It came last year again, and we're following the success. So this is the 11th Edition of the festival.

The particularity of this festival is that ONLY ACCEPTS ONE SHOT FILMS. What does it mean? As is well known, is about telling a story - at least 3 minutes long - in just a single shot, that is: no cutting or image editing.

In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.

The festival will take place during the week from November 27th to 29rd 2025.

To have some historical background, it all started in 1967 when Societat Cultural Joventut Terrassenca - known in Terrassa as "Coro vell" - organized the "Rotllo" film competition with this same idea. Now, Societat Coro Vell, with the support of the Terrassa Audio-visual Board and within the activities of the Terrassa City of Film UNESCO, as well as with the participation of those companies and people who collaborate on this event, wants to recover this current year the tenth edition of the "Concurs del Pla Seqüència", from now called "One Shot - Terrassa City of Film".
