The Valladolid International Film Festival, popularly known as Seminci[n. 1] (short for Semana Internacional de Cine de Valladolid; transl. 'Valladolid International Film Week'), is a film festival held annually in Valladolid, Spain. First held in 1956 as Semana de Cine Religioso de Valladolid ('Valladolid Religious Film Week'), the Seminci is one of the longest-standing film festivals in Spain.[3] It stands out in the area of films d'auteur and independent films.

The Seminci conventionally takes place every October,[4] about a month later than the San Sebastián Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in Spain.
