Since its creation in 2013, the Santurtzi Film Festival has gradually evolved to become a benchmark event in the Basque Country, expanding fields of action and gaining in solidity. Always faithful to its three founding axes –the socio-cultural promotion of the municipality, the connection with the community from the artistic point of view and the promotion and professionalization of new directors– the original motto of "cinema at street level" has consolidated a distinctive personality –close, participatory cinema with a social vocation– that has served as a platform for emerging filmmakers and for cultural revitalization, social and economic of Santurtzi.
The great success of SZ has been to position itself as a platform for emerging Basque cinema: to screen and give space to short films and debut films that have then toured national and international circuits, which has reinforced the festival's reputation and attracted media attention and institutional collaboration. Among its greatest values is also an identity marked by horizontality: bringing authors and the public closer together, eliminating barriers between professionals and spectators and facilitating direct interaction in informal venues such as hospitality or historical spaces (Cofradía, Casa Torre).
What began as a post-crisis cultural antidote of 2008, with the idea of screening short films in bars on weekends, has grown thirteen years later: since then, more than 50,000 euros in prizes have been awarded and the making of more than 200 short films has been promoted in the local section, filmed in the village of Santurtzi. In the last edition, in 2025, there have been numerous sold-outs (such as at the SKA, with a capacity of 600 seats) and an overall record of attendance, participation and institutional collaboration.

The DIVERSIVAS festival seeks to showcase realities that do not exoticize the Latin American LGBTQIA+ community, through the decolonial and intersectional narratives and visions that we will program at the festival.
Furthermore, the festival will promote the recognition of the talent and vision of Latin American LGBTQIA+ creators working within the Catalan cultural circuit to enrich intercultural dialogue, while also showcasing new Latin American cinema focused on sexual dissidence with a counter-narrative perspective on Western norms. Through this, we aim to provide a diverse cultural program for the city, allowing for the representation of dissident identities that often lack visibility.
Finally, the DIVERSIVAS Festival seeks to broaden the perspective of the Catalan LGBTQIA+ community through reflection, dialogue, and cultural exchange. As a festival, we aspire to create a space where different voices, languages, accents, and artistic expressions converge, celebrating cultural diversity as a source of collective wealth.

Pulp Vision, Neoma BS’s film club, is pleased to present the 14th edition of the “Tournez-court” short film festival.
For this new edition, we have chosen to highlight student creativity and the art of cinema around the theme “Memory.” As a space for encounters, memories, and opportunities, memory strikes us as an infinite source of inspiration, embodying a unique aesthetic.
Short films are open to all languages, provided they are subtitled in French. Our goal is to celebrate the diversity of cinematic perspectives and experiences, in order to bring forth varied and sensitive interpretations of this theme.
Fiction, documentary, animation, or experimental film: all formats are welcome. Each film will thus be able to offer its own interpretation of the theme and explore the many dimensions of memory. We therefore invite filmmakers and film enthusiasts to give free rein to their imagination and share their vision on the big screen.
