If there is something we all have in common, it is movement. As Akram Khan put it: “Movement is the essential ingredient of how the world continues, or survives.”

When our body’s movement fuses with the cinematographical movement, one of the most original film genres is born: dance film. While words can mislead, the body language does not lie.

Choreoscope is the International Dance Film Festival of Barcelona. A unique event dedicated not only to those passionate about dance, but also to those who enjoy quality cinema. Born in 2013, with three full-house celebrated events, our goal is to promote the strong ties with art in general and with film and dance in particular.

Movies do not know any boundaries. Dance does not either. There is a common language joining them. The [...]

Short film festival

We are a small festival that started with the sole objective of supporting and disseminating the many short films that are created year after year all over the world. To support new and not so new authors.

We are a group of film fanatics and our festival is not for profit but to enjoy and have a good time, that's why we have chosen Humour, Comedy and Smile as the genre to take the reins of our adventure.

Me Mondo Fest. seeks to share audiovisual creation in short film format with as many people as possible and to support the short film as a form of creativity in itself and not just as a means to reach feature films.

We seek to bring film screenings and audiovisual art closer to the general public by trying to move away from the usual cinemas and venues for this medium. [...]
