El Dia més Curt [the shortest day] is an international event which started in 2011 with the aim of promoting the short film genre among the public. This year the event is on from 14 to 25 December and offers a carefully selected and free programme for all sectors of the public, providing a chance to rediscover the best short films of all time from a variety of genres.
The main venue for the event will be the CCCB, with activities on 20 and 21 December. On Tuesday 20, at 7 pm, the official inauguration includes a screening of Juanjo Giménez’s short film Timecode, winner of the Palme d’Or for the best short film at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for an Oscar.
