The Santa Pola City Council is ushering in a new era in its cultural policy with the consolidation of the 14th Santa Pola Film Festival, a strategic development that places the municipality on the national audiovisual map and strengthens its cultural and tourist appeal.
The festival, which will be held on October 29, 30, and 31, 2026, at the Casa de Cultura (Cultural Center), is opening its doors to filmmakers from across Spain, thus solidifying its national character without abandoning its roots and its strong support for Valencian and Alicante talent, as well as young local filmmakers.
This new phase is reflected in broader and more ambitious guidelines, establishing a competitive structure with national, regional, and local youth categories, reinforcing a model that combines international exposure with a commitment to the municipality's cultural fabric.
Among the main new features is the increased prize money, with awards for the best national, regional, Alicante, and Valencian-language short films, as well as local and audience awards.
The Santa Pola City Council is committed to a strategic cultural project designed to attract talent, boost the local economy, and solidify a distinct cultural identity linked to audiovisual media.
The 14th Santa Pola Film Festival is thus presented as a key event on the cultural calendar, where tradition, growth, and national reach converge in an event with a promising future and greater ambition and impact.

Welcome to the AZIMUTH International Film Festival — where cinema doesn’t just tell stories; it changes the angle of perception.
In navigation, azimuth is not a destination — it’s a direction. In cinema, it’s the creative bearing chosen by a filmmaker. We are not interested in well-trodden paths. We are looking for bold new routes.
AZIMUTH is a compass for contemporary cinema, based in the heart of Moscow.
We exist to discover, support, and celebrate films defined by a unique authorial vision and artistic courage. Our mission is to create a dynamic platform where fearless debutants and established masters meet in dialogue — united not by where they have been, but by where they are heading.
We are searching for films that:
• Set a new creative vector and redefine cinematic language.
• Explore urgent themes through an unexpected, sharp lens.
• Possess a strong directorial voice and uncompromising originality.
• Demonstrate artistic integrity and mastery of craft.
• Dare to experiment with form and narrative.
Our curated competition programs — Feature Films, Documentary Films, Short Films, and Animated Films — are dedicated to works that act as true navigational tools. They don't provide easy answers; they ask the right questions, charting courses through the complex oceans of human emotion, social upheaval, and personal discovery.
If your film is a journey, not just a product; if it seeks to recalibrate the viewer's compass and reveal new coordinates of meaning — then you have found your festival.
Submit your work. Choose your direction. Let’s redraw the map of cinema together.
AZIMUTH. Cinema that changes the angle of vision.

The SalvaPastores™ Film Awards were created to raise awareness, dignify, and give greater value to the profession of being shepherd and milk producers (goat, sheep, cow, buffalo...), as well as the fundamental role they play in the sustainability of the land, food production, and the preservation of cultural and environmental traditions.
This initiative stems from the SalvaPastores™ project, spearheaded by Michele Buster, co-founder of the international company Forever Cheese, whose career has been deeply intertwined with the promotion of European artisanal products, especially Spanish cheeses.
The awards aim to change the social perception of the shepherd and livestock farmer profession, traditionally associated with negative stereotypes or a dead-end job, by showcasing its true nature:
Modern and qualified professionals.
Entrepreneurial and independent individuals, capable of managing their own projects.
Guardians of the land and biodiversity.
Intelligent, resilient, and committed workers.
Everyday heroes of the rural world.
The slogan, "It's the best," symbolically reaffirms the importance of milk and all the products that depend on it, reminding us that:
"Without milk there is no cheese, and without shepherds and farmers there is no future for the countryside."
The SalvaPastores™ Awards also aim to:
-Encourage generational renewal in the livestock sector.
-Redefine the role of the shepherd and farmer, making it more appealing and attractive.
-Inspire new generations of young people to consider this profession.
-Disseminate technological and scientific innovation applied to modern livestock farming.
-Highlight the relationship between the countryside, gastronomy, sustainability, and culture.
-Promote respect for rural life and natural ecosystems.
The ceremony will be held as part of the cultural and film event A LA LUZ DEL CINE (In the Light of Cinema).
