16 February 2026
On 24 February at 7:30 pm, Granada’s Isabel la Católica Theatre will host the official premiere of the animated short film Elvira y el Tesoro. The film has been conceived as a strategic asset to support the city’s bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2031.
During an ordinary session of the Committee for Culture this morning, Granada City Councillor for Culture and Tourism, Jorge Saavedra, announced the inclusion of the short film Elvira y el Tesoro as a strategic project in Granada’s bid to become the 2031 ECOC.
Mr Saavedra emphasised that the film “helps to showcase Granada’s significant audiovisual talent, particularly its filmmaking potential, and highlights the importance of local companies such as Rokyn Animation and Manuel Sicilia’s film directing. Our city has an excellent network of creatives and entrepreneurs in the field of animation and film, and this short film is also an opportunity to promote that talent abroad.”
He added that “Elvira y el Tesoro illustrates how culture can transform Granada. Through the eyes of a young protagonist who travels around different parts of Granada, we depict a vibrant and lively city with enormous potential.”
