ARENA in Spain

The European Short Film Festival FEC Cambrils-Reus selected Arena to be part of its competitive program.

The FEC is a festival devoted to European short films and contemporary videocreation. The FEC Project sees the short film as a means rather than an end, so it is open not just to filmmakers but also to visual or plastic artists who use film as a language in which to express themselves. A European panel of judges from the world of cinema and the arts makes the FEC a festival with its own particular and unique criteria within the panorama of film festivals.

The 12th FEC Cambrils-Reus runs from February 24th to 27th in Cambrils, and from March 3rd to 6th 2010 in Reus, where Arena will be screened.
