From its birth within the historic Cine Club Nebrija to its current status as the Alcalá de Henares / Comunidad de Madrid Film Festival, ALCINE has become one of the longest-running festivals in the country as well as an international reference in the field of short films.
This volume reviews, in a rigorous but entertaining way, its first fifty years of history with the help of many of its protagonists, testimonies of prominent filmmakers and a large number of photographs, posters and unpublished documents.
More than a tribute to the festival, it is a small history of Alcalá and Spain through cinema and cinema through the festival.
