ABYCINE Albacete Independent Film Festival and Market

Logo of ABYCINE Albacete Independent Film Festival and Market

ABYCINE – FESTIVAL Y MERCADO DE CINE INDEPENDIENTE DE ALBACETE tiene entre sus objetivos fundamentales la difusión y promoción de películas y cortometrajes de carácter independiente que, por una u otra razón, no disfrutan de distribución regular en los circuitos convencionales de exhibición.

El Festival trata de cubrir, en la medida de lo posible, este importante vacío. Asimismo, otro de sus propósitos, no menos relevante, es presentar una selección de películas que atiendan a las nuevas corrientes del cine joven contemporáneo, al fenómeno “indie” en el cine español y a la educación de la mirada de las nuevas generaciones de espectadores.
