영화제 시작: 18 2월 2025      영화제 끝: 19 2월 2025

Cultura Groovy invites you to experience intimate, high-quality short-film festivals in the heart of Barcelona. Each event offers a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience, showcasing the visionary work of talented filmmakers, with every director presenting their film in person.

Our festivals celebrate diversity in storytelling, exploring a wide range of themes, genres, and forms of expression. For this edition, "Ladies in Control," we are exclusively accepting films directed by women. (We want to highlight that we’re not limiting submissions to films about female topics—any story told by women storytellers is welcome.)

We aim to empower, support, and inspire women in the film industry, who often face prejudice, harassment, and systemic neglect. Your voice matters, and your stories deserve to be heard.

Female filmmakers, we warmly invite you to submit your work and attend in person. Join us to celebrate your craft, connect with other creatives, and be part of a growing community dedicated to elevating female voices in cinema.
