“The Quarantine” is an international short film festival aimed at popularizing young and unknown authors among professional filmmakers’ circles. The festival is organized on completely voluntary basis, there are no screening fees and nobody receives any payment.
The festival takes place on the beach at “The Quarantine” fishing village which is the last standing fishing village in Varna, Bulgaria. The village is in danger of disappearing because a luxury residential complex is under construction on the coastline behind it. By provoking cultural exchange between contemporary artists from the whole world and locals, we intend to turn the fishing village into a culture and art zone and to preserve the fishermen’s way of life.
The name of the region “The Quarantine” comes from the past when sailors from commercial ships entering the harbour with suspicion of some kind of disease were taken ashore at the beach for the quarantine period of 40 days. In case they showed no signs of illness, they were allowed access to town. At present, the young authors who have still not found their realisation are in the state of a “Quarantine” – isolated by professional filmmakers’ circles. In analogy to the history of the location, we decided to name the festival “The Quarantine”.
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.
