Malaga Art Museum Hosts the 4th Suso de Marcos Short Film Gala
The Casa Museo Suso de Marcos is preparing to host the gala for its 4th Short Film Showcase (Muestra de Cortos) in 2026. This annual event celebrates independent Spanish filmmaking, bringing together creators and cinema enthusiasts in the museum's unique artistic environment.
Screenings and Awards in the Sculptor’s Garden
Attendees will experience the film screenings in the open-air garden of the Casa Museo Suso de Marcos, a venue known for displaying the sculptures, drawings, and personal studio space of artist Suso de Marcos. This year's competition drew a strong national response, receiving 90 short film submissions from across Spain.
During the evening, the jury's selected works and winning entries will be screened for the audience. The host for the gala is Xisco J. Lozano, who will guide the crowd through the presentation of the awards. The trophies themselves are designed and crafted exclusively for this festival by sculptor Suso de Marcos.
New Prize Categories and Event Details
A notable update for the 2026 showcase is the introduction of cash prizes for the top films in three distinct categories: Fiction, Animation, and Documentary. The tournament is supported by local sponsor Asador Iñaki Málaga, as detailed in the museum's news archive.
The gala will take place on Saturday, July 18, starting at 21:30. Access to the garden is completely free of charge, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis until full capacity is reached.
