Generic information

Donosskino, the Donostia Short Film Festival, is an annual event held in the city of San Sebastian by the Kristonkino Audiovisual Fiction Collective. In the absence of a festival with short films as the exclusive protagonists of its programme in a city with such a close relationship with cinema as the capital of Gipuzkoa, Kristonkino took on the challenge of bringing short films to the public of San Sebastian. In this way, Donosskino has been held since 2017, an unmissable event for lovers of the seventh art.
