The Toulouse Spanish Film Festival (French: Festival du Film Espagnol de Toulouse; Spanish: Festival de Cine Español de Toulouse), also known as Cinespaña, is an annual film festival held in Toulouse, France, which specialises in Spanish cinema.[1] The festival awards the Golden Violet (Violette d'Or; Violeta de Oro), for the best full-length film from Spain previously unreleased in France. The festival is usually held in October.

The festival was established in 1996, as the successor to the Les écrans de l'histoire film festival.[2] The 1996 festival was focussed on the Spanish Civil War, with later festivals showcasing Spanish cinema in general.[2] The festival is supported by the Spanish government bodies Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) and Instituto Cervantes.[3]

Since 1997, the festival's main competition has presented full-length films from Spain previously unreleased in France, which compete for the Golden Violet award.[4][5] There are also awards for best director, actress, actor, screenplay, score, and cinematography.[6]
