The province of Sevilla is being promoted these days in Marseille. The Diputación de Sevilla, through Prodetur-Turismo de la Provincia, has presented the destination within the framework of the 25th edition of the Marseille Spanish Film Festival, CineHorizontes, with an action aimed at the French market.
Film, photography and flamenco
The programme combines actions for tourism professionals and for the general public, and uses culture as a common thread: film, photography and flamenco. The programme began on Thursday, October 8 with a visit to a photography exhibition by Cécil Ka, with around thirty images linked to the Feria de Abril. Afterwards there was a professional presentation before agents, journalists and institutional representatives, where Prodetur presented the province's offer.
The collaboration with Turespaña was part of the opening gala, before some 300 people, at which a promotional video based on «Orobroy», a work by the Sevillian pianist and composer Dorantes, was screened, and flamenco was brought to the stage of the Artplexe Canebière cinema.
Award-winning shorts
The agenda continued on Friday, October 9 with a session at the Le Prado cinema where five works awarded in recent editions of the Certamen de Cortos de la Provincia de Sevilla were screened: «Fuck off», by David Baquero; «Bâba», by Pablo Otero; «Camino Roya. Un mapa de ida y vuelta», by Rocío Rodríguez; «Las Desqueridas», by Charlie García; and «Match», by Miguel Cáceres.
Strategic market
According to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), in 2025 France was the third country with the most overnight stays by non-resident travellers in hotel establishments in the province. The Diputación considers the French market strategic because of its weight among the main international markets, and points to geographical proximity, air connectivity and interest in the cultural and gastronomic offer.
The vice-president of Prodetur, Rodrigo Rodríguez Hans, argued in his speech that promotion must go beyond the main attractions: «getting to know a destination also means getting closer to its way of life, to its stories and, above all, to its people».
