Mecal Pro, el Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes y Animación de Barcelona, celebrará su 27ª edición. La larga trayectoria de MECAL PRO lo ha consolidado como uno de los festivales de cortometrajes más importantes de Europa y del mundo, recibiendo así el apoyo de instituciones locales, nacionales e internacionales. Hemos proyectado en 2024 más de 300 cortometrajes en las 29 secciones que programamos.
Mecal tiene el firme compromiso de promover la exhibición y la difusión de las creaciones audiovisuales en formato corto, no solo entre el público, sino también para que creadores y distribuidores se reúnan a través de diferentes actividades. Mecal también se dedica a fomentar el talento emergente, mediante la organización de eventos y premios especialmente dirigidos a los jóvenes creadores. En este sentido, también funciona como una red de difusión de cortometrajes, organizando proyecciones tanto a nivel nacional como internacional y colaborando con festivales, embajadas e instituciones de todo el mundo.

The Industry Screenings at the Curtas Vila do Conde IFF are private sessions showcasing new short films that seek a world or international premiere. These sessions are exclusively dedicated to film industry professionals, offering a unique opportunity to view unseen films and generate interest and establish connections with programmers, distributors, and other professionals in the industry.
The event is aimed at a select audience, including programmers and artistic directors of festivals, who are responsible for selecting films for other international festivals, sales agents, who seek new titles to market globally, distributors, who are looking for cinematic content for different markets and platforms, and television channels, which are often looking for new works to broadcast. Other professionals, such as producers and filmmakers, can also participate to explore networking opportunities.
The program for the Industry Screenings is created in collaboration with the Agency for Short Film, an organization specializing in the curation and promotion of short films, ensuring the selection of high-quality and internationally relevant films.
