The City of Segovia Festival of European Cinema (MUCES) is an annual
cinema event which gives the wider public a chance to get to know
quality European cinema. It also serves as a meeting point for cine
professionals from all fields (producers, directors, distributors,
actors, scriptwriters, critics, etc) and hosts other cultural
activities relating to the cine world. Its main objectives are:
To offer the general public an opportunity to see European films
which have not yet been commercially screened in Spain, but have
been very successful with critics and audiences in their own
countries or have won prizes either from their own film academies or
at international festivals, and which are representative of the
reality of the film world for different European nationalities.
To provide a forum for cine professionals to meet, promoting
collaboration between them and stimulating joint projects and
commercial relations, leading to the creation of a real market for
European cinema.
A forum for debate and analysis of the real state of European
cinema, as well as a meeting place for historians and scholars of
the cine phenomenon in Europe and its impact on society over the
years.
To promote cine-related cultural activities, such as exhibitions,
concerts, literary competitions etc.
To enable the wider public, and particularly young people, to learn
new ways of viewing, evaluating and experiencing truly European
cinema.
The festival is from the outset an event of clearly international
dimensions, with the firm purpose of disseminating European cinema.
It constitutes a unique opportunity to see films of great quality,
which rarely get distributed in Spain. At the same time it offers
high-level cultural fringe events: a scriptwriters' competition,
film-making workshops, exhibitions, talks, round-table discussions,
tributes to European film-makers, courses, etc. – all of which have
cinema in general and European cinema in particular as their common
denominator. |
