OFFICIAL SELECTIONS 2025

 This is the program to this season festival:




SACRIFFICIUS ------ DIRECTED BY STEPHEN SHELTON ---------- UK

This music video is a real artistic animation. Special design of the chess pieces, an important story to tell and guitar music to introduce us in a world entirely created by its author.


VAMPIROS ------------ DIRECTED BY MARTÍN DEL CARPIO ---------  USA

This song is an accurate reminder of what we do to the world. We are dark creatures, vampires, in fact. Just to suck blood with no remorse. The song got interesting music arrangements, too. 




I DO NOT LOVE MY MOTHER--------- DIRECTED BY GERAD CUQ --------- FRANCE

This music video performed by MARIE DAUPHIN is original. It sounds as the good french music sounds and it is intrepid for being shot and sung in the swimming pool depths.




LLEGÓ TU HORA ----  DIRECTED BY DAVID DURÁN  ------------- SPAIN

This short film is almost just a fiction TV interview but it outcomes an ironic exercise of the world we live. In the context of a Science Fiction tale, we see many faults of our society. Well performed.



BEYOND ----------- DIRECTED BY RAQUEL SALVATELLA ---------- SPAIN

This animation piece is told using simple ways, delicate moments of horror and hope. Minimalistic black and white animations with music. We can see not just one but all dictatorship tragedies at it. Sensitive.
