Marcy Page’s animation is part of the Official Selection – Shorts at the festival’s 23rd edition, taking place from 6 to 14 November in Andalusia
The Seville European Film Festival (SeFF), also known as Festival de Sevilla, is dedicated to European cinema. The Official Selection – Shorts, created in 2025, brings together 26 films this year. “Virgin Fandango” has its Spanish premiere in Seville on 10 November.
Co-produced by Blue Dada Productions (Canada) and Ciclope Filmes (Portugal), the short uses an animated tile technique, with around 12,000 hand-painted tiles, to bring to life a Virgin Mary who breaks her silence to sing and dance alongside inspiring women from feminist History. The voices of the remaining characters come from a Portuguese women’s choir, Braga Fora – Coro Comunitário de Mulheres (Community Women’s Choir).
Selected for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, “Virgin Fandango” won the Audience Award and Best Portuguese Co-production at the Prémio Nacional da Animação (National Animation Award) this October.
