Barcelona Independent Film festival
This "alternative" festival, which takes place every year in November, is a platform for films (both shorts and full length) that are excluded from commercial distribution and traditional festival promotion networks. The films shown take part in a competition and prizes are awarded. The films are open to the public.

Gijon International Film Festival
The festival is above all for young directors, usually presenting their first film. The festival has been going for about 40 years and the films take part in a competition. The festival usually takes place in November and is open to the public.

La Boca del Lobo
This itinerant festival promotes short films from all around the world and acts as a meeting place for those working in the film business. The festival takes place in the month of October. The informal nature of both the competition and the public make for a very relaxed atmosphere and is worlds away from more hyped events.
