Intro

CineMasCopa (MOVIES+DRINKS)

The digital revolution has changed the rules of the game.
Every day new ways of reaching the public and of enjoying audio-visual shows appear.
With this section the Festivalito will gather examples of new ways and ideas to enjoy audiovisual content.
There are many ways to be up to speed with cinema and there are many ways to enjoy it.
The presentation of films does not have to be barred from the changes being made after the digital revolution.

Movies+Drinks is an illustration of digital cinema made to be shown in small screens: Videoblogs, nettv, webisodes, fiction inside of videogames or machinima, videos for mobile phones, in cameras...
It also includes full-length films, short films, fiction, documentaries and cartoons which themes are linked to  music and to samples from other film festivals that also have innovative and avant-garde spirits.

What really defines Film + Drinks is the screening of these pieces.
All of the films in this section will be shown in open-air terraces in summertime and in nightclubs.
We aim to emulate the style of café-theatres and enjoy films in a different way.
