Curtocircuíto is a festival that is committed to its time. It seeks contemporaneity in a plurality of genres, experimentation and training and by involving all audiences in what it has to offer. It is a small, intense festival that is international in scope and where every short film and participating guest is necessary. It offers quality auteur films for all audiences.
One of the distinguishing features of Curtocircuíto is its retrospectives, such as the one devoted to the Canadian Mike Hoolboom in 2014. This year the Danish director Jørgen Leth will be joining the previously announced Aki Kaurismäki as the filmmaker to whom the festival is paying tribute in 2015. This is the first retrospective in Spain to be devoted to this filmmaker, whose short films have gone unnoticed, although he is known for codirecting The Five Obstructions with Lars Von Trier. Jørgen Leth has breathed new life into the documentary as a film genre focused on reality. His short films explore not only film language but also that of television, making them unique experiences.
