As part of the 26th edition of Cortogenia, a qualifying festival for the Goya Awards, Festhome presented the Festhome Distribution Award to El cuento de una noche de verano, directed by María Herrera. The award was presented by Elvira Landa, Festival Manager at Festhome, during the event.
The Festhome Distribution Award was created to support the festival journey of new films, helping awarded short films expand their visibility and access new exhibition opportunities.
With this recognition, Festhome reinforces its commitment to filmmakers and to the promotion of short films, offering concrete tools to support the distribution of works with both national and international potential.

Over the years, Cortogenia has established itself as one of the most recognized platforms for the exhibition and promotion of short films in Spain. Its status as a qualifying festival for the Goya Awards strengthens its relevance within the circuit and makes each edition a valuable showcase for filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals.
For Festhome, being part of this edition through the Festhome Distribution Award means continuing to strengthen ties with festivals that are firmly committed to cinematic talent and to the growth of new voices within the audiovisual landscape.
From Festhome, we would like to congratulate María Herrera and the entire team behind El cuento de una noche de verano on this recognition.
We will continue working to support filmmakers and to help more films find their path in festivals around the world.
