The Film Industry: The Spanish Short Film, Origin and Evolution of a Sector (1976-2020)

Keywords: cinematography, cinema industry, short film, film festivals, distributors, platforms

Abstract

The film industry in our country is a matter that generates debate and raises opposite perspectives: those who defend it and believe in its existence, or those who think that it is a craft created by artisans that does not obey a business system. Within this last consideration, a more artisanal than commercial fabric, seems to be the activity of the short film, which so far has received little attention in the academic field. The objective of this article is to pause on this phenomenon, approach its study from its most significant milestones in its recent history, which lead us to think about an evolution. Through a expository-descriptive methodology, we will try to verify that it is possible to speak of a sector around the cinematographic short story.
