The Cim&Art Foundation was set up to organise and operate an International Film Festival with the aim of making the film Festival one of the world’s leading cultural focal points.  This year from the 28th March- 5th April 2008 the festival will be taking place in Madrid. FilmaMadrid will be a film festival dedicated exclusively to feature films with the objective of portratying cinema as a pure form of culture, as opposed to mere spectacle.

The festival will be small with a maximum of 20 films to be shown; the party atmosphere typically associated with such events to be removed and focus instead on both the high level of films shown and on the audience in attendance. Teatro Arenal, located on calle Mayor, will be hosting the festival, as well as holding press conferences, film screenings and movie premieres. This will be the first editon of the Madrid International Film festival. The first edition will have three sections, the Official section, the International Opera Prima section and the Second developing Spanish project.

Make sure you look out for any famous stars making an appearance near you…
