The Shortest Day 2025. Rural cinema: a tool for wisdom and understanding

We close the year on our Vimeo channel with the celebration of The Shortest Day [ED+C], an initiative that recognises the format and expressive forms of the short film.

For this edition, we invited the Rural FilmFest to create a programme that addresses the growing concern for sustainability and the care of our planet, as demanded by the current Anthropocene. Thus, the four short films that make up this year’s cycle, entitled “Rural cinema: a tool for wisdom and understanding”, spark different ideas and use diverse tones to bring us closer to spaces in Spanish and Mexican geography, as well as to the experience and culture they have treasured for centuries.

The short films in this showcase invite us to embrace new ways of engaging with these environments in a non-intrusive and non-destructive manner. Undoubtedly, the programme conveys the idea that we must act and that, perhaps, there is still time to change things.
