Nambrocorto is the short film festival of Nambroca, a town located in the province of Toledo, Spain.

What began as a local festival has evolved, thanks to the enthusiasm of the audience and the commitment of its organizers, into a cultural event with great potential. Over its nine previous editions, Nambrocorto has experienced exponential growth in the number of participants, attendees, and activities, becoming a regional reference.
In its 10th edition in 2025, the festival reaffirms its role as a cultural event of regional and national scope, consolidating its expanded format with several days of screenings, workshops, talks, exhibitions, concerts, and interactive activities aimed at all audiences. Audiovisual professionals from all over Spain will once again share their experiences with the community in a participatory and welcoming environment.
Since launching its official website and digital channels in 2021, Nambrocorto has entered a new phase of expansion and visibility. These tools have allowed the festival to broaden its reach nationwide, with the aspiration of soon welcoming international participants.
Workshops, forums, educational activities, artistic showcases, social impact, and digital outreach are at the heart of this tenth edition, reaffirming Nambrocorto as a gathering place for emerging talent and quality cinema—while staying rooted in its community.

The Global Drama Project is an indie entertainment production company based in New York City. We work on creating platforms for young and underrepresented artists from around the world to showcase their art.
Unfortunately, there’s never enough space for everyone’s art, but within some communities opportunities are so scarce that brilliant artists never have their work see the light of day (or the darkness of a theater).
So... We've created the Global Drama Project Short Film Festival! We'll be showcasing selected short films at a live screening event in NYC, followed by live Q&A's. Films will be showcased by category, Narrative Films, Documentary Films, Queer Cinema, Best BIPOC Filmmakers, Best Female Filmmakers, International Films. In the evening of the event there will be a red carpet awards ceremony honoring the winners of each category, along with Best Actor and Best Film grand prize.
We are committed to fair opportunities and equal representation.
*Females constitute less than 30% of filmmakers. People of color constitute less than 27% of filmmakers.*
