Catalonia Festival of Arab and Mediterranean Film: from November 3rd to 8th 2015 at the Filmoteca Catalunya.
Convinced that cinema helps us know and understand the world around us, the “Mostra” was created to fill a void in the Catalan cultural panorama by showing and championing Arab and Mediterranean cinema in Catalonia. By screening films made within Arab and Mediterranean societies it offers a fresh point of view on their issues and on the world today. Through culture and art the festival helps break deep-rooted European stereotypes about the Arab world and build bridges among Mediterranean peoples. For the fifth consecutive year, the “Mostra” will be held at the Filmoteca de Catalunya (Catalonia Film Library), in the heart of Barcelona’s Raval district. This year Morocco is the guest country. The festival is not competitive.
To be selected, feature films and documentaries must be longer than 50 minutes and have been made by a man or woman from an Arab country over the last 5 years (no time limit for films from the invited country).
