The aim of the Festival de Cine Europeo de Sevilla (Seville European Film Festival) is to promote and disseminate European films by becoming an annual meeting place for European film talents, specialised journalists and sector professionals. For nine days, it brings together the industry, public and critics to view a selection of the finest European films.
Thanks to AC/E’s PICE / Visitors programme the following international programmers are taking part in the festival: Christoph Huber (programmer and film critic, Austria), Marcelo Panozzo (artistic director of BAFICI, Argentina), Neil Young (programmer, film critic and director of Bradford film festival, UK), Michael Pattison (programmer and film critic, UK) and Rüdiger Suchsland (film critic and instructor at the Berlin Film and Television Academy, Germany). Aware of the importance of creating networks and strengthening the production, distribution and showing of European films, the festival places special emphasis on its activities targeted at the industry. It has a packed programme for bringing professionals from all over the world into contact with each other and for facilitating the circulation of resources, contacts, knowledge and tools.
The core of the festival consists of several competitive sections for feature films, documentaries, short films and non-fiction. The other main focus is special screenings, tributes and retrospectives aimed at providing a comprehensive vision of the contemporary European film scene. Every year the festival also hosts the nominations for the European Film Academy Awards, which are announced in Seville.
