Here is the official presentation for FILC-VILA 2027 in English:
II Edition of FILC-VILA 2027
International and Local Short Film Festival of Viladecavalls
On behalf of the La Cort dels Miracles Association, we are delighted to present the II Edition of the International and Local Short Film Festival of Viladecavalls (FILC-VILA 2027), which will take place on May 28 and 29, 2027.
We return with a renewed proposal designed to establish Viladecavalls as a vibrant meeting point for filmmakers, students, film lovers, and the general public. Our goal is to offer a showcase for a diverse range of perspectives from all over the world, while boosting audiovisual creation in our language and fostering artistic expression within the local educational environment.
For this second edition, FILC-VILA is structured into two main submission categories along with new opportunities for recognition:
Official Section: Open to productions from anywhere in the world, regardless of origin or language. All selected films will be screened in Catalan or subtitled in Catalan (a service provided by the organization for films that do not already have Catalan subtitles).
Commitment to the Catalan Language: Within the Official Section, we reinforce our support for national cinema by awarding a Best Short Film in Catalan Language Award (€200), which can be combined with the Festival's Best Short Film Award (€200).
School Section (CRP Vallès Occidental II): We are opening a special free category for educational centers in Terrassa, Viladecavalls, Matadepera, Ullastrell, Rellinars, and Vacarisses, aimed at promoting young talent and the use of audiovisual language in the classroom.
"La Mostra" (Out of Competition): We are incorporating a non-competitive parallel section to provide space and visibility for works that stand out for their high social, thematic, or cultural value.
The submission period will open on November 1 on the Festhome platform (and via web form for the School Section) and will close on March 15, 2027.
We invite you to be part of this new edition, share your stories, and celebrate short films together in Viladecavalls!
