Blog: Film festivals

The Santander International Film Festival was born on September 18, 2017. It was born as a cinema week focused on creativity, entrepreneurship and youth. It focuses on cinema although it has also given space to other arts such as literature, video art and, in this new edition, video games and VR.

The main venue for the festival is the Botín Center (Santander), and we collaborate with the Botín Foundation, the Government of Cantabria and the City Council of Santander.

From the Santander International Film Festival, the second edition of the Environmental Short Film Contest will be held, with the aim of promoting the natural spaces of Cantabria as a filming set.
