DAMA Cortos 2026 is a Spanish call for projects focused on the development and production of original, unpublished fiction short films. The initiative is aimed at DAMA members who wish to develop projects designed to be filmed in a single shooting day and with a maximum of three locations within the same city.
The call exclusively accepts fiction short films and does not admit documentaries, animation projects, series, or feature films. Selected projects advance to a final pitching stage, where finalists present their proposals before an industry jury. One winning project is then chosen for production support.
Applications will be open from May 14 to June 10, 2026, with the deadline set at 2:00 p.m. (Spanish mainland time). Each participant may submit up to two projects. Among the finalists, one winning project will receive production support of up to €30,000.
