15TH EDITION RULES OF ATLÀNTIDA MALLORCA FILM FEST
DEEJAYSGRUP MEDITERRANEAN CREATIVE HUB, a Temporary Business Union, in collaboration with Comunidad Filmin SL, organizes the fifteenth edition of the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest, an international annual meeting point for creators, professionals, and the audience to whom their works are directed.

The festival aims to promote high-quality cinema with a commitment to contemporary issues to attract new audiences to theaters. The National and International Official Section will feature a selection of fiction feature films that empathize with the dilemmas, conflicts, and situations faced by new generations while also speaking their language.

Additionally, the festival develops three non-fiction categories: arts, politics, and queer, each with its own central theme. Special attention will also be given to Balearic Talent: productions filmed, financed, or featuring talent from the Balearic Islands may also be programmed in the Talent Balear Section, which includes both fiction and non-fiction works.

The 15th edition of Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest will take place from July 27 to August 3, 2025, in Mallorca, and from July 27 to August 27, 2025, on FILMIN.
