The 13th Arab and Mediterranean Film Festival of Catalonia will be held from November 7th to 17th 2019 in Barcelona.
This year the films will no longer be presented according to their nationality, the section “Pais” (country) being replaced by “In perspective”. The new programming will look at various themes and help us see them from different points of view and perspectives. There is also a new category, “Mirades d’avui” (present perspectives), dedicated to recent films about contemporary themes.
The theme of this year’s festival is: “Walls and borders”. Physical, natural or artificial walls and borders, but also those other walls, symbolic or imaginary, which can’t be seen but which separate, single out or stigmatize groups or individuals within their societies and / or their communities.
Conditions of eligibility:
– The section “In Perspective” is for drama or documentary films over 60 minutes, made by directors from an Arab country during the last 10 years.
– The section “Present Perspectives” is for drama or documentary films over 60 minutes, made by directors from an Arab country in the last 2 years.
The deadline for applications is June 20th 2019.
