Very close to our high school there is a sculpture that represents the sets of the cinema. The citizens of Valladolid are great fans of movies. Every year the SEMINCI is celebrated, the Valladolid International Film Week being one of the oldest film festivals in Europe It was consolidated as one of the most recognized film festivals in Spain and the world.

In 1956 its first edition was held, Did you know that it was born from the interest of taking the seventh art as a way of transmitting Catholic moral values? Yes, as you can see, it originates from religious events, in fact, its initial name was the Valladolid Religious Film Week; This event became so important that the theme changed; In 1973 the religious character of the festival was eliminated and it was consolidated as one of the most recognized film festivals in Spain and the world.
