The festival is organized by the Arela Cultural Association and coordinated by the scriptwriter Alfonso Pato.The festival takes over the whole village; Barns and basements change their normal uses to become cinema screens and the audience are ferried by locals to and from the screenings on two-wheel tractors, known locally as chimp\u00edns. Other free activities are also available to the public: concerts, parades and hiking routes.

Its symbols of identity are the peculiar cinema rooms: sheds, basements, empty houses, wine cellars and even henhouses transferred altruistically by their owners who devote themselves to the festival and collaborate in everything they can.Short film is the genre par excellence in Cans, and every year the festival official section shows the best Galician productions of the season. But Cans is something else than a short film festival: it has documentaries and full-length films premiers, a video clip contest, talks with prestigious filmmakers, presentations of experimental productions like web series, training programs for AV students, etc.History[edit]Cans Festival was born in 2004, as a kind of joke. The phonetic similarity between Cans (which also means dogs in Galician language) and Cannes was in the mind of some visionaries from a long time ago. In that year they decided to join forces and ideas and set in motion an event that would coincide in time with the glamorous Cote d’azur festival: Cannes. But that was a long time ago and from this funny word game a serious film festival emerged.Nowadays, Cans Festival is in the epicenter of the worldwide filming earthquake that takes place in May, with or without the consent of its French half- brother Cannes. It has also red carpet and movie stars, but unlike Cannes, here actors, actresses, filmmakers or scriptwriters mix with a heterogeneous public who can easily address them.Filmmakers, film directors, musicians, actors and actress like Isabel Coixet, Juanma Bajo Ulloa, Fernando Le\u00f3n, Manuel Mart\u00edn Cuenca, Patricia Ferreira, Luis Tosar, Trist\u00e1n Ulloa, Mabel Rivera, Mar\u00eda Pujalte, Jos\u00e9 Sacrist\u00e1n, Xoel L\u00f3pez, Kiko Veneno, Iv\u00e1n Ferreiro, Coque Malla, Javier Krahe, Manuel Rivas, Luc\u00eda Echevarr\u00eda, Suso de Toro, El Gran Wyoming, Tet\u00e9 Delgado, Antonio Dur\u00e1n “Morris”, Juli\u00e1n Hern\u00e1ndez or Emma Su\u00e1rez have been in Festival de Cans as guests, rewarded or speakers.In 2009 it received the Premio da Cr\u00edtica Galicia, in the section of Cultural Initiatives. In 2011 Pontevedra Provincial Council gave the festival the Premio Provincial \u00e1 Cultura  in the category of Innovation and Avant-garde. In 2013 it received the Premio Internacional Ateneo de Ourense.Honorary Pedigree AwardBest Fiction Short Film Award (Jury)Best Animation Short Film Award (Jury)Best Fiction Short Film Award (Public)Best Animation Short Film Award (Public)Best Fiction Short Film Award (Locals)Best Actress Award (Jury)Best Actor Award (Jury)Best Screenplay Award (Jury)Best Videoclip Award (Jury)Best Videoclip Award (Public)External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/festival-de-cans-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Festival de Cans – Wikipedia"}}]}]
