A Festival That Cares About Every Detail and Every Artist

We are a small independent film festival, and we are proud of it. Our size allows us to take care of every detail with the attention and respect each project deserves. Throughout all twelve months of the year, we actively promote the projects selected in our festival to help increase their visibility and strengthen their journey through the international festival circuit.

We collaborate with several independent film clubs and rotate our festival across different cinemas that truly support independent cinema. From the iconic Cines Maldà to the Verdi cinemas, and even the historic cinema of La Garriga — with more than 100 years of film history — our festival lives and travels through spaces that breathe cinema and culture.

NEXT EVENT

If you are looking for a festival full of glamour, massive crowds, and red carpets, we are sorry to say that this might not be your festival. There are many others that will meet those expectations. But if you are looking for a small festival that treats each artist as if they were its own child, that supports you before, during, and after your screening, then you are in the right place. Here, we don’t show your project and forget about you. Here, we build long-lasting relationships with our artists.

Festival Structure

Our festival is designed as an intimate, high-impact gathering at Barcelona. We focus on quality over quantity, ensuring every selected filmmaker feels like part of a community.

Event Structure & Timeline

The festival is organized into a dynamic sequence of events designed to maximize networking and visibility:

• Official Selection Screenings: Films are curated into thematic blocks. Each screening is treated with technical excellence, utilizing the professional cinema equipment of Barcelona Cinemes to ensure your work looks and sounds exactly as intended.

• Interactive Q&A Sessions: Following each screening block, we host moderated Q&A sessions. This is a vital part of our festival, where filmmakers can share their process and connect directly with the audience. If you cannot attend the festival, you can send a short video.

• Award Ceremony: A celebration of talent where we announce winners across all categories. We provide personalized laurels designed to boost your project's future marketing.

Our Commitment

We are the "Bridge Festival." Our goal is to provide you with your first nominations and professional feedback, helping you overcome the initial obstacles of the industry. We offer ultra-reduced fees and 365-day support because we believe in building long-lasting relationships with our artists.
