Seville European Film Festival begins 23rd edition

The 23rd Seville European Film Festival opened on Friday without an inaugural gala. The Seville City Council suspended the opening ceremony, originally scheduled for November 6, as a gesture of respect and solidarity with the victims and families affected by the railway accident in Urda.

Despite the cancellation of the gala, the festival continues its scheduled screenings, cultural activities, and professional meetings through November 14. The event features 66 Andalusian films, including 21 world premieres. The program also includes the II Days of Cinema and Geopolitics and historical memory encounters.

The festival maintains a focus on younger audiences through its Europa Junior and Cinéfilos del Futuro sections, which include approximately thirty titles designed to engage children and youth with European cinema.
