What is Subtravelling?
Subtravelling is a pioneering short film festival for its innovative features, which brings the short film genre to the TMB transport network.
The festival was born in 2009 as the Mostra Internacional de Curtmetratges del Metro (the International Metro Short Film Festival). It was a bid by the TMB Foundation to democratize culture and revitalize the short film market, bringing a selection of first-rate Catalan and international short films to all citizens, thus promoting social and cultural values among public transport users.
The first edition of Subtravelling was such a resounding success that, the following year, TMB decided to continue innovating, with the intention of promoting local creation and offering new filmmakers a space to develop their creativity and showcase their talent.
This is how Roda a TMB was born, the section of the festival in which filmmakers have to use their ingenuity to shoot a short film in which, in some way, TMB's transports appear.
Over the years, Subtravelling has not stopped growing. And with a strong desire to cross borders and become international, in 2016 it partnered with the Seoul Metro International Subway Film Festival (SMIFF), a festival with which it shares characteristics: both are the only short film festivals in the world in which the metro and public transport are the protagonists.
Today, Subtravelling keeps the commitment with which it was born intact, and still takes a step further to become more professional. That is why in 2020 the festival has been renamed Subtravelling 11th International New Talents Short Film Fest BARCELONA - SEOUL. The aim is to become an international projection platform for filmmaking talent from Barcelona.

Our Story
in 2009 as an informal project to showcase independent cinema in the recondite alleys of Alfama, projected against its iconic stone walls.
In the following years, Cinalfama matured and became a competitive event of an international character, as well as a cultural reference in Lisbon.
The nature of the events has changed over the years, but the atmosphere, films and venues remain as intimate as they have always been.
Our Home
Founded in 1914, Grupo Sportivo Adicense is one of the oldest and most authentic remaining symbols of Alfama’s true soul.
World famous fado singers started their careers waiting tables at this historical institution – one that still stands in the face of constant change and mischaracterisation of the neighbourhood’s urban landscape

Moritz Feed Dog is an Inedit Productions project, a cultural dissemination platform thats acts as a distributor, rights management company and producer.
Moritz Feed Dog is the only Festival in the state that revolves around the exhibition of fashion documentaries. Throughout five editions, the world of audiovisual and fashion have come together in this proposal that flees from trends and that focuses on fashion as a cultural entity.
We believe that one of the most seductive characteristics of fashion is that it allows us to interpret the reality in which it appears, since it is born, grows and develops as an expression of the human condition. Therefore, fashion becomes a window and a reflection of the history, the economy, the cultural and social movements that have shaped our evolution. Our desire is to accompany the viewer on a journey through audiovisuals and fashion to discover the past, understand the present and imagine the future, focusing on the differential and unique gaze of filmmakers with the will to show the world of the fashion from another perspective.
Moritz Feed Dog is held in person in Barcelona, and for 2021 a hybrid festival is planned that includes a face-to-face and an online part. In addition, the Festival is also held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Although they have their own artistic team there, the documentaries selected in Barcelona are automatically also valued by the Brazilian committee.
