Festival Audiovisual Internacional Territorio Sacromonte (1)

Festival start: 27 August 2024      Festival end: 01 September 2024

The Territorio Sacromonte International Audiovisual Festival takes place in the city of Granada (Andalusia) in the emblematic Sacromonte neighborhood in front of the Alhambra monument. In the Cuevas del Sacromonte Museum, a protected open-air space of more than 10,000 meters located in the Darro Valley, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, the projections of our Official Audiovisual Section from around the world are held.

At the same time, an extensive program of activities is carried out that includes concerts, exhibitions, artistic actions or shows in unique spaces in the neighborhood.

Currently our Festival has a single prize of €1000 for the Best Audiovisual, although there is the possibility of expanding the prize or opting for another modality depending on the expansion of sponsorship.

The Territorio Sacromonte International Audiovisual Festival will take place from August 27 to September 1, 2024 at the Cuevas del Sacromonte Museum, an emblematic place in this unique neighborhood in front of the Alhambra.
