The Malacate Film Festival Corrales, was born as an international festival with its own identity, linked to the industrial and cultural heritage of Corrales,Aljaraque, a Huelva small town located in southwestern Spain. Its name refers both to the Teatro Cinema Corrales, the festival's main venue, and to the town's large, historic windmill, which will be the festival's visual centerpiece (logo, laurel wreaths, and trophy).
Todo es Prompt is an International Online Festival dedicated to short films and screenplays created with Artificial Intelligence.
It was born as a calm response to an industry built on scarcity, competition, and waiting.
For years, many creators learned to rely on funding systems, selection committees, institutional calls, and validation processes that left more projects outside than inside.
While we were waiting, technology evolved quietly. And something shifted.
Today, an idea can become an image without intermediaries.
Today, an intuition can transform into narrative from a keyboard.
Today, the act of directing can begin with a single instruction. A prompt.
“Todo es Prompt” emerges at that turning point.
The festival proposes a non-eliminatory model:
all works that meet the guidelines become part of the Official Selection.
We believe in the creative abundance of this new era of cinema.
We believe in human authorship amplified by artificial intelligence.
We believe that technology does not replace vision — it expands it.
We do not wait for our turn to create.
We do not ask for permission to make our cinema.
Since the International Short film Contest Festival “Ciudad de Soria” considers at all times Short Films CINEMA in capital and appreciates as essential culture dissemination, our purpose is to promote as mean of audiovisual expression; the contribution to acknowledgment and dissemination.
This format must be essentially and basically a part of CINEMA.
