Cinema which shuns the easiest conventional paths and which dares to take risks, which is to be found on the fringes, in the depths. Emotional and thought-inspiring cinema; committed, honest films.
Cinema which is able to offer something new; cinema which stimulates and surprises us; cinema which isn't complacent.
Films with a clear intention; films which prove the art of filmmaking is alive and kicking and which are able to move or persuade us.

Films we've managed to catch. Films sought for or found.
Films we've found or which have found us.

We'd like to invite you to our house, which is also yours.
We hope you'll feel at home and enjoy yourselves.

We look forward to carrying on imbuing the festival with meaning, and we hope it remains an alternative, as a truly independent festival, here in Barcelona.
