Méliès d’argent Award Winner – Short Films @ Donostia/San Sebastian Fest 2024
The winner of the Méliès d’Argent Award for Best European Fantastic Genre Short Film at the Donostia/San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival is “Etorriko da (eta zure begiak izango ditu)” by Izibene Oñederra (Spain, 2024).
A small community has entered a state of collapse due to an environmental crisis and is adapting as best it can to the new reality. The privileged residents live a hedonistic life based on carpe diem, while the others struggle to survive without any other alternative. What is yet to come? If there is nothing left, can anything save us?
The jury has decided to award the Méliès d’Argent for Best European Fantastic Short Film to Etorriko da (eta zure begiak izango ditu) for its original visual style and innovative take on the pandemic, building a complex story rich in layers, perspectives, and interpretations.
Donostia/San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival is part of the Méliès International Festivals Federation, an association currently consisting of 31 film festivals, whose mission it is to promote European fantastic cinema around the globe. The Méliès d’argent is awarded to short films for cinematic quality and creativity. The winning short film at Ravenna Nightmare qualifies for the competition for the Méliès d’or.
