Cineuropa 35
The 35th edition of Cineuropa, which will be held between 8 and 24 November in six venues in the city (Teatro Principal, Salón Teatro, NUMAX, Multicines Compostela, Museo das Peregrinacións and Sala Mozart of Auditorio de Galicia) will show 161 films, 88 of which will be for free.
The main novelty of this year's edition is that the event has become a competitive festival. The competition section is born with twelve titles that come with all the congratulations of Sundance, Cannes or Locarno. Of these twelve, nine will be premieres in Spain. An international jury made up of Gabriela Guillermo, director; Imma Merino, journalist and film critic, and the Compostela filmmaker Alfonso Zarauza will be in charge of choosing the best film, director, screenplay, actor and leading actress in the New/the Filmmakers section.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
