In 2017, Terrassa was selected as a "Creative City of UNESCO in Film", a recognition that only 17 cities in the world have. This leads to recover a past that it is what brought us this present.

The festival will take place during the week from November 26th to 28rd 2026.

CORTESINA SHORT FILM FESTIVAL aims to support and promote film culture, as well as to highlight and advocate for the role of women in cinema.
