Los jóvenes andan

Miguel Ariza

Artur is not yet a king. He is a prince of the upper class. He is a dancer and today he is premiering the work that is to boost his career. But shortly before, he receives a call... The Gaudí Award for the Best Short Film is a non-stop journey towards glory, whatever the cost.

El otro lugar

Roberta Chávez

A fungus is spreading at the painted forest of Oma, in the Basque Country. The landscape is changing, nature is degrading, and so is the celluloid, organic matter ready to share the same fate. And this film is a small and beautiful abstraction of it all.

El príncep

Àlex Sardà

This film is a letter. The letter that a filmmaker, overflowing with ideas and emotions, wrote to his great-grandfather, a miner who died prematurely from silicosis. And this letter contains other letters, in the form of conversations or texts, full of affection and humour.

El tercer paisaje

Julen Etxebarria

Julián Santaella

Based on the correspondence between two sisters who were forcibly separated, this film makes visible the teenagers in the shadows of public life; a reminder of their existence and an invitation to build a feminism that leaves no one behind.

Las Pardas

Simone Sojo

This is a scathing, very acidic (and also funny) portrait of the Catalan capital, which has been transformed for years into an immense stage set, a carpet for visitors and the daily object of millions of photographs.

Loquilla mía

Claudia Estrada Tarascó

This is a chronicle. The chronicle of a job dismissal and the playful and ironic portrait of all around it. Of the visible things – a piece of paper, letters and signatures – and above all, of the invisible things, the gears of a system that dehumanizes and mistreats.

1,2,3… Barcelona!

Anna Mundet Molas, Angela Morant Manau

One day, I asked my mother what came before life, what I was when yet unborn. Before life you were a dream, she said. A dream I had. The new film by Adrià Pagès and Pepa Catalá is a letter, or a story, that only cinema can tell.

A Piece of Paper

Algunos recuerdos (no) son míos

Rebecca Tolosa Gilroy

An artist from Barcelona is forced to double his efforts and accept precarious jobs in order to survive... Meanwhile, the slow combustion of his inner fire threatens to inflame him and his art, which is always walking on the tightest rope.

Azkena

Ane Inés Landeta, Lorea Lyons

In 1974, in Valencia, about 200 women were transferred from one psychiatric hospital to another. Many of them had no medical records, and some did not even have their names. Pau García Pérez de Lara's new film is a restorative act. Of identities and dignities.

A stone rests somewhere on the outskirts of Barcelona. Thousands of years ago it had been used to leave offerings and make sacrifices, and not so long ago a shepherd still remembered it... Now it rests as an inanimate and abandoned object, until one day it receives a visit.

This is a portrait of Carmel, an emblematic neighborhood of Barcelona that has also been one of the great forgotten areas of the city, from an urban and social point of view. A first-person look from a filmmaker who lives there.

Meteoro

Víctor Moreno

Like a beautiful diptych about vital comings and goings, this literary diary is also a dialogue between a writer who returns home, to Galicia, after years living in Brussels, and a filmmaker who consolidates his life in a city that is already his home.

Nits blanques

Carles Borres

What is love?, the new short film by Xacio Baño might want to answer. But it does not. Instead, full of humor and irony, it navigates through history and walks through the streets. What is love? And you ask it? Ask the AI, see what it answers...

Xacio Baño

Postal (O, desde la distancia eres un espejismo)

Somewhere in Finland, an older woman looks at her granddaughter while remembering her past. That of a Chilean militant who was exiled by the Pinochet dictatorship. An evocation full of magnetic images that, at times, approaches abstraction.

Postal (O, desde la distancia eres un espejismo)

Carolina Astudillo Muñoz

On the Go

Julia de Castro, Maria Gisèle Royo

Orandi

Serafín Teja

Two friends walk. They cross, like two souls that are in no hurry or in a specific direction, the beautiful landscapes of the Empordà. The words say and the silences speak in this very delicate tale of friendship. And folk music plays in the background.

Apartamentos Paradiso

Andreu Garcia Antolí, Víctor Jiménez Lafuente

It is night and on the road a car flees and another chases it. Inside, two women. After having seen him in front of the cameras in films like Handia, Eneko Sagardoy reveals himself as a talent, also in direction, with an overwhelming and powerfully allegorical short.

Col·lectiu La Espera

The Barcelona Rambles, with their hustle and bustle of everyday life and tourists, are the protagonists of this document that takes the pulse of the urban and social politics of Barcelona today.

Betiko gaua

Eneko Sagardoy

Suddenly, one day you wake up and say enough is enough, and you finally listen to that instinct that tells you to leave, to flee from the city and the crowds, to feel the heartbeat of the land again. And so is this film: the direct and pure expression of the liberated impulse.

Bona nit, Rambles

Die Donau

Jaume Claret Muxart

Like a Mobius loop, this story could begin where it ends. All around a generation that, for different but related reasons, is experiencing a perhaps irreparable disenchantment. Luis E. Parés knows how to put his finger on the wound with a deep short film with a serene melancholy.

El canto de los años nuevos

Alexander Cabeza Trigg

Mariona was 17 years old when she was arrested and a few years older when she was released. But she wasn't the same. The late-Franco repression of a young militant still resonates. In her, in her daughter and in an moving short that fills the gaps of an incomplete story.
