Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest (12)

Festival start: 24 July 2022      Festival end: 31 July 2022

Atlàntida Mallorca Film Festival was born 12 years ago as the first online film festival in our country and it did so with a mission: to introduce the public to the best international films that did not find a place in theaters. The first objective was visibility, the second: to give prestige to the Internet window.

After exceeding 150,000 spectators and being chosen as the Best Festival in Spain by the Ministry of Culture (ICAA) in 2015, Atlàntida has continued to evolve and has therefore consolidated a physical venue by expanding the format.
