Overview
ALCINE (Festival de Cine de Alcalá de Henares) is Spain's oldest regional film festival, established in 1971, and stands as one of the country's most prestigious short film competitions. It is notably one of the few festivals in Spain where winning prizes qualify films for both the Goya Awards and the OSCAR® Awards in fiction and animation. The festival primarily showcases short films through its National and European Competitions, while also featuring a feature film section for new directors and specialized sections for comedy, fantastic/terror, and children's cinema.
