Annecy Cinéma Espagnol is Annecy’s film week devoted to the best Spanish films of the last two years. It includes a competitive section designed to make known the young generation of filmmakers, featuring first and second films (4 prizes awarded). Forty or so feature-length films never previously shown in France will be screened (fiction and documentary), as well as previews. The programme also includes out-of-competition sections (homage, focus, carte blanche, Spanish terror…). The main purpose of the event is to promote the work of Spanish directors and familiarise French audiences with the best Spanish films, which are seldom shown in French cinemas still too little known in the country.
In 2016 the ‘Annecy Spanish film biennial’ has become ‘Annecy Cinéma Espagnol’. It will include screenings of 40 or so feature-length films (fiction and documentary), a competition section, carte blanche, a focus on Spanish fantasy films and a tribute to a male or female actor. Other projects have yet to be confirmed.
