Dread Central, the world’s leading horror media outlet with millions of monthly readers, convened 30 industry experts from around the world to compile a list of the 90 Best Genre Festivals on Earth, and Curtas Festival do Imaxinario was selected. On the Dread Central website, they describe us like this: “Not super well-known outside hardcore circles, Curtas is a hidden gem for cult and fantasy film lovers. With more than 50 years of history, it’s one of the oldest fests in Spain, and in recent years it’s really stepped up its game when it comes to showcasing high-quality, fantastic cinema.”

In this regard, our director, Luis M. Rosales, comments that “it is a great surprise and a huge joy for the entire Festival team. Seeing Curtas alongside such big names as Cannes, Venice, Sitges, Toronto, and so many others is truly incredible and, obviously, fills us with pride and satisfaction. It is something that would not be possible without the enormous effort of a team of which I could not be more proud, and without the support of everyone who has trusted Curtas all these years. From the institutions, led by the Vilagarcía City Council, to the sponsors, and, of course, to the hundreds of creators who choose the festival to showcase their work each year. Thank you to all of them. Now it’s time to continue working to make Curtas a reality.” The best possible edition for 2025. See you in October!”
