– Update 06\/25\/2016 –<\/strong>
\nYesterday Friday, one week after the publication of this post, the Film Academy<\/strong> published a new corrected list of festivals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new list includes international documentary festivals and adds the Mostra de Cine Latinoam\u00e9ricano de Lleida<\/strong> to the list of Spanish festivals, increasing from 31 to 32 festivals.<\/p>\n

\n

Yesterday Thursday we learned about the new Rules<\/a> for the Goya Awards<\/strong> for short films and the new festival lists<\/a>, which are increasingly important for designing festival strategies.<\/p>\n

As has been customary in recent years, they are changing again, both in general requirements and in festivals. Let us proceed step by step. <\/p>\n

In the general requirements<\/strong> we already find an important change:<\/p>\n

2.2. It will be an essential condition for the registration of a short film in any of the <\/em>three categories that the date of the nationality certificate be prior to the start of the festival <\/strong><\/em>where the award was obtained or the first selection of the festival that allows <\/em>registration, according to articles 4, 5 and 6 of these Rules.<\/em><\/p>\n

That is, we must have the nationality certificate<\/strong> before the festival takes place, this is already a problem for many short films. Most wait to apply for the classification license and nationality certificate until they achieve preselection, but this year they would be excluded<\/strong>. For example, if a short film selected at Gij\u00f3n or Seminci in 2015 did not have nationality before the start of these festivals, even having won the Award, it could not compete for a Goya. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, with this measure, many short films that applied for the classification license and nationality “after the fact” would no longer request it, with the resulting detriment to maintaining control of annual production and encouraging producers to apply for the classification license and nationality from the ICAA.<\/p>\n

In the requirements for Fiction<\/strong> short films, we find several changes:<\/p>\n
