Catalan Film Festival

The Catalan Film Festival programme this year offers an intimate and contemporary exploration of family relationships, memory, and personal transformation. Each of these films uniquely delves into the complex bonds, expectations, and dynamics that connect us, while reflecting on the inevitable presence of death in our lives – only to celebrate life in the most luminous ways. Through these stories, life is celebrated in its most vulnerable moments, its fleeting beauty, and its ability to reinvent itself.

We are excited to celebrate the profoundly creative and effervescent moment currently taking place across Catalan cinema. The region’s filmmaking has once again been celebrated in major international festivals such as Locarno, Toronto, Berlin, Cannes and San Sebastian, from which we have gathered our favourite selection of feature and short films to bring to cinemas in Scotland.

With emotionally rich and intricate narratives, this Catalan film programme provides a profound reflection on human relationships, motherhood, dysfunctional families, and the passage of time. Through these films, we explore the delicate balance between life, love, and death, as characters uncover in their families the key to understanding both themselves and the world around them.

This is one of the richest programmes of award-winning Catalan films we have ever brought to Scotland, with a selection of films ranging from satire and comedy to thriller and psychological horror. From the subtle mastery of realism to the bold, extravagant spectacle of a musical that blends exceptional songs, storytelling, design, performance, and dance, the 10th Catalan Film Festival has something for everyone.

Our festival spotlights cinema as a transformative medium, and cinema as a shelter. The programme this year is full of beauty and horror, light and darkness, and of course a pure love for film. Smiles, laughs, and tears are guaranteed.
