El día más corto is a celebration of a highly creative and dynamic format within contemporary cinema. Coinciding with the shortest days of the year, the Instituto Cervantes has managed to gather the best 2024 proposals on its Vimeo channel to join this international celebration.
Always in collaboration with leading institutions and short film festivals, in 2024 we present a program curated by the Bilbao International Documentary and Short Film Festival, Zinebi, one of Spain's oldest film festivals, with a history of more than sixty-five years demonstrating its commitment to and support for short films.
The four titles in the showcase invite audiences to broaden their expectations of cinema itself, offering a range of stories and imaginaries that navigate between the abstract and almost fantastical power of their images, and the undeniable certainty provided by the reality of the stories they tell.
