The president of the Provincial Council, Ángeles Armisén, and the president of the Association of Friends of the Cinema of Palencia, Pedro Rodríguez Villarroel, will soon sign an agreement, by virtue of which the provincial administration will contribute 14,000 euros to subsidize expenses derived from the XXX Exhibition of International Cinema of Palencia, except those that respond to inventory material and those that have a protocol nature.
For its part, the association undertakes to disseminate the sample among schoolchildren, both in the capital and throughout the province.
In this form, the provincial institution supports one of the cultural cycles with the greatest tradition and popular follow-up of all that are celebrated in the province. The program includes the screening of short films, documentaries, independent cinema and films aimed at children, and also extends to other cultural disciplines (music, plastic arts …) related to cinematography.
Support for cinematographic activities is one of the lines of action of the Diputación de Palencia through its Culture Service. In addition to this agreement for the International Film Festival, the provincial administration maintains another two with the Aguilar de Campoo City Council to co-sponsor the Film Festival held in this town; and for the support of the Cine Amor Cultural Space.
Likewise, the Provincial Council grants each year a subsidy to the Calle Mayor Cinema Club, it also celebrates annually at the Provincial Cultural Center a film exhibition on archeology -which in 2019 reached its seventh edition-, within the cycle Cultura a la romana; and outdoor film projections have been for years one of the pillars of its summer cultural programming in rural municipalities, Espiga cultural.
