Gas Natural Fenosa produce cuatro cortos de reconocidos directores españoles

The energy company enters the world of production with the help of 4 Spanish directors of the stature of Paco Plaza, Rodrigo Cortés, Jaume Balagueró and Juan Cruz who make four stories of the fantasy and thriller genre.

Gas Natural Fenosa has just presented the Cinergía project, a novel initiative to bring energy efficiency to the general public through the seventh art and promote talent in the film industry of our country.

With this project, which is a step forward in its film sponsorship activity, the energy company has made the leap into film production by selecting four young and renowned Spanish directors (Paco Plaza, Rodrigo Cortés, Jaume Balagueró and Juan Cruz) who enjoy great popularity among the public, to direct four short films linked to energy efficiency and the company's products and services.

Los cortos, que se estrenarán en los principales festivales del país, llegarán hasta las salas de cine y los hogares de miles de españoles. These are four stories of the fantasy and thriller genre, without losing sight of humor, starring some of the most recognized actors on the national scene. Each story is related to an aspect of efficient energy: equipment maintenance, home efficiency, work efficiency and sustainable mobility.

During the presentation of the project, which took place this week in San Sebastián, the general director of Communication and President's Office of Gas Natural Feonsa, Jordi García Tabernero, and the director of the San Sebastián Festival, José Luis Rebordinos, signed the agreement that makes the energy company an official sponsor of this event for the third time. What will be the 62nd edition of the contest will take place from September 19 to 27, 2014.
