The Festival is being held for the third time in Barcelona, preserving the essence of this unique cinematic experience. The aim of the Festival is to present Spanish and international audiences with a selection of Argentine short and feature films, in an effort to highlight contemporary artistic trends and the talented Argentine filmmakers, featuring films produced from January 2025 to the present day. This edition of the Festival seeks to build cultural bridges between Argentina and Spain through the seventh art. We believe the festival will be an effective means of fostering mutual understanding and strengthening the ties between both nations.
Likewise, we hope this event will provide an opportunity for the Argentine community in Barcelona to strengthen its cultural bonds, and for Spanish and Catalan audiences to appreciate and discover the richness of Argentine cinema. The initiative has been enthusiastically received by both the local community and residents interested in exploring contemporary Argentine cinema.
Individual objectives:
To project Argentina and Spain as cinematic settings and centers of film production.
To promote cultural diversity through the production and promotion of new films.
To support emerging creative initiatives in contemporary cinema, especially films shot in Argentina and Spain.
