The Seville European Film Festival treasures its XXI edition, scheduled from November 8 to 16 with the purpose of becoming a meeting point between the public and professionals in the sector. One of the cultural events that promises to enrich the Sevillian guide in autumn.
Eight competitive sections make up the SEFF, which this 2024 includes two noteworthy novelties: ‘Ramp’, which recognizes new directors, and ‘Alumbramiento’, which will showcase films without distribution in Spain, while ‘Puerta Europa’ and ‘Esenciales’ will be the non-competitive sections. Films from the Old Continent whose participation is minority and emblematic iconic feature films of European cinema, respectively.
The edition will also include special screenings, tributes and retrospectives, exhibitions, round tables, master classes and a wide range of parallel activities. In short, the Seville European Film Festival will integrate over 9 days the best titles produced in Europe during 2024.
What new venues will be added to the festival?
To the screening rooms that the festival has contemplated on other occasions (MK2 Nervión Plaza, Cines Cervantes and Teatro Alameda) it is worth adding other spaces. Namely: the five screens of the Odeon Plaza de Armas, two of Avenida 5 Cines, as well as one of the auditoriums of the Cartuja Center, with capacity for more than 2,000 spectators.
As for the parallel activities programmed, the Cajasol Foundation, the CICUS and the Factoría Cultural will provide their spaces, although they will not be the only ones in 2024. The Seville Film Office, Espacio Platea and the Alfonso XIII, NH Plaza de Armas and Inglaterra hotels will join this project dedicated to cinema.
As for the Official Selection, although all the titles have yet to be revealed, it will bring together films such as Flow, Julie Keeps Quiet, Banzo, Paul & Paulette Take a Bath, Transamazonia or A Missing Part. Films that cross different sensibilities and narrative aesthetics and that will be screened throughout the Festival .
