The 2016 edition of the Cinema Festival of Madrid will pay tribute to the Asturian producer Gonzalo Suárez, and will also recognise the Danish director, screenwriter and producer Lone Scherfig with the ‘Mirada Internacional’ prize.
The oficial sections of the festival are feature film, short film, and feature film and short film by the Platform of New Producers.70 national pieces will compete in these categories.
The New Producers Platform, in charge of the organisation of the festival, is a national association that first started in 1987. This entity is integrated by producers and technicians, both of short and feature films.
In last year’s edition, over 6,500 spectators enjoyed the festival, what meant a 75% increase in the previous year.
This event is without a doubt, an ideal plan we recommend from Gran Vía Capital for you to fully enjoy Autumn in Madrid.
