From October 22 to 31, 2021, in Vilagarcía de Arousa, the 49th edition of Curtas Festival do Imaxinario will be held, with a face-to-face format and free admission. The event will have as its leitmotif the little creatures that populated the shelves of video stores of the 80s such as Gremlins, Critters or Ghoulies.

The poster for Curtas 2021 is the work of Argentine poster artist Flavio Greco Paglia, and shows us how a ship manned by these small and irreverent monsters attacks the dock of the Galician coastal city, while chasing a terrified Gizmo. “When Curtas invited me to make the image for this year, I thought it had to be fun, feel honest with the characters and their character, and take advantage of the location -the municipality of Vilagarcía- in favor of the narration.” Says Flavio Greca. “We wanted the image to evoke those covers of the video store movies that gave us so many hours of fun for fans of the genre in the 80s. And at the same time to function as an invitation for all of them to come and enjoy this festival of the It is fantastic that Curtas Festival do Imaxinario is “comments the director of the festival Luis M. Rosales.

The 49th edition of Curtas Festival do Imaxinario de Vilagarcía de Arousa has the support of the Vilagarcía de Arousa City Council and the Pontevedra Provincial Council, and the sponsorship of Cafés Candelas, Gadis and Planet Horror.
