Opening of the Fiver Festival "Asian Short Film Showcase: Focus on Asia"

24/06/2026 | Madrid | Activities > Film and visual arts

The Fiver International Film, Dance and New Media Festival opens its 14th edition with a short film showcase called Focus Asia, featuring six short films by renowned Asian artists, selected in collaboration with Hong Kong's Jumping Frames festival, unique in its category in Asia and a world reference for choreocinema.

This collaboration is part of a cultural exchange that began in 2025, when Fiver was invited to Hong Kong following a visit to Madrid by Elisa Wendy, artist and director of Jumping Frames. On that occasion, Fiver participated in the Spectrums section of the Hong Kong festival, curating the Short Films from Spain section and thus fostering an artistic dialogue.

The 2026 edition culminates this collaborative process with an exhibition in Madrid of a selection of works that have been finalists and winners in recent editions of Jumping Frames, and which will be presented by Elisa Wendy, the curator.

Fiver's Director: Samuel Retortillo
Production: Madrugada Producciones
