Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival
The Evolution International Mallorca Film Festival (EMIFF) is an annual film festival held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, which previews new films of all genres, including documentaries, from around the world. Founded in 2012 by Sandra Seeling Lipski, EMIFF operates also in conjunction with a sister-screening event in Hollywood, highlighting the previous year's winners.
The 2015 EMIFF is scheduled to take place between 10–15 November 2015[1] with the main venue Teatro Principal in Palma. Teatro Principal de Palma was inaugurated in 1667. In 1980, it was transferred into public management to the Consell de Mallorca. After a 6 years of remodeling and modernization, the theatre re-opened in 2007.[2]
Additional programming for the festival is held at the nearby Cine Ciutat.[3]
