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 universal language of movement. Choreoscope ́s mission is to connect this fascinating language with an audience eager to experience something new, different, something special. Choreoscope Barcelona is the dance film festival of those who go one step further.

At eighteen, Cabriolet reaches a moment of transition—a point where “DREAMS” are no longer distant ideas but real possibilities. Like anyone coming of age, the festival carries the desire to explore, the courage to imagine freely, and the honesty of facing the unknown.
Eighteen is the moment when dreams stop being whispered secrets and become declarations of identity. It is a time charged with energy, restlessness, and hope. A time when we question everything, chase what feels impossible, and begin to understand who we might become.
Cabriolet, now eighteen, is dreaming with open eyes:
dreaming of new voices, new visions, new horizons;
dreaming of films that challenge, provoke, comfort, and awaken;
dreaming of stories that connect us across skies, streets, and cultures.
As the festival steps into adulthood, its dreams are bolder, more vivid, and more urgent—shaped by the past yet reaching fearlessly toward the future.
With this theme, we invite filmmakers from around the world to share films that explore what it means to dream: to imagine, to desire, to question, to resist, to rebuild. Whether your dream is tender or turbulent, personal or universal, realistic or fantastical, we want to experience it through your lens.
Join us on June 5, 6, and 7, 2026, to showcase films that challenge, inspire, and empower.
Let’s celebrate the beauty of possibility and the freedom to follow one’s own vision.
