7TH INTERNATIONAL CRAFT AUDIOVISUAL EXHIBITION
The International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition, promoted by the Catalan Government through the Consortium of Commerce, Crafts and Fashion (CCAM), is a meeting point for two fields:
crafting and audiovisual. It was created to generate synergies and promote the creation of quality audiovisuals based on artisanal creative processes and focusing on artisans and their crafts.
The exhibition is the only one of its kind to be held in Catalonia and throughout Spain. This year it reaches its seventh edition to show the diversity and creative richness of the crafting world, through unique and contemporary stories from artisanal crafts around the world.
In past editions we have seen projects showing the commitment to sustainability and feminism, documenting the fusion between technological innovation and crafts or audiovisuals explaining the roots of crafting in the territory.
In this seventh edition, we will value quality proposals with more accurate and exigent audiovisuals. Format and content innovation will be the main spotlight but also international projects opening cultural dialogues and allowing diversity.
The pieces must be original and unpublished, and they will be presented at the Gala that will take place at the Disseny Hub Barcelona on the 27th of September. The films will then be available on the FILMIN cinema platform, the CCAM website and the ‘Exhibition on the Road’.
Once more, the coordination and management will be taken care of by bbintervencions. We will guide you and help you with any questions you might have during the process.
Welcome to the 7th International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition, welcome to the joy of crafting!
BIO FILM FESTIVAL (2026)
Agricultural and environmental biodiversity is an invaluable heritage, entrusted to us and essential for the future of our planet. It is deeply connected to the health of ecosystems, but also to our cultures, economies, and ways of living. Now in its fourth edition, the Bio Film Festival 2026 continues its commitment to raising awareness about biodiversity and fostering a shared responsibility for its protection.
Building on the path traced in previous years, the festival further explores ecological regeneration as both a necessity and a possibility. Through a curated selection of films that address the fragile balance of natural systems, the consequences of climate change, and regenerative practices in agriculture and land stewardship, the Bio Film Festival invites audiences to reflect, connect, and imagine alternative futures. Cinema becomes a tool for observation, dialogue, and transformation.
Set in the evocative province of Belluno, surrounded by the Dolomites—recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the festival takes place in the village of Sospirolo. Here, an open-air cinema immersed in nature offers a powerful and immersive viewing experience, where landscape and storytelling resonate with one another.
The Bio Film Festival 2026 presents documentaries, short fiction films, and animated works from around the world, each offering a unique perspective on biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Together, these films form a collective narrative that speaks to urgency, resilience, and hope. Awards will be presented during the closing ceremony for Best Documentary, Best Short Film, and Best Animated Short, honoring filmmakers whose work engages with environmental and social challenges.
The festival’s logo—depicting a child bringing life back to a grey, depleted world—remains a strong symbol of regeneration, care, and future possibility. The Bio Film Festival 2026 reaffirms itself as a space for encounter, education, and creative action, dedicated to nurturing a deeper relationship between humans and the living world.

"The fantastic emerges from reality like the moon over a misty swamp."
The idea for the Festival was born from our passion for the Pallars Sobirà, a remote region of the Pyrenees, its stories and legends, and for cinema. Our desire to preserve the most mysterious heritage of this wild land grew into the Tabaca Film Fest – the Mythological Film Festival of the Pyrenees.
This is a land rich in its own myths and legends, but every corner of the world has its own Yeti, its own mermaid, its own werewolf, its own mountain guardian — in short, its own mythological imagination.
With the Tabaca Film Fest, we bring to light these stories from the Pallars, the Pyrenees and all over the world through the art form we know best: cinema.
This Festival embodies values we care deeply about: quality cinema and the preservation of mythological and historical memory, in an extraordinary natural setting.
The Tabaca Film Fest includes short films in the categories of fiction, animation, documentary, and video-dance, featuring an international open call and complementary activities.
The third edition of Tabaca Film Fest will take place in person in Gerri de la Sal from September 18 to 27, 2026.
The Festival will include an opening ceremony, screenings of the finalist films, and a closing gala with an award ceremony. In parallel, there will be lectures, guided tours, workshops, concerts and other mythology-related cultural activities.
Since its inception, this festival has promoted the city as a setting in which each filmmaker tells about their reality, their ways of working and life experiences, in such a way that anyone who is a fan of or dedicated to filmmaking can learn through observation and viewing. of all kinds of works and their technical details such as camera movement, times a scene lasts, camera position or perception of silences ...

GENTIUM FILM FEST
Mediterranean Film Festival. A journey through the cultures of the Mediterranean
A festival that celebrates the diversity and beauty of Mediterranean cultures through cinema and focuses on the different cultures of the Mediterranean, screening films that explore people's traditions, stories and life experiences.
“Gentium” is a Latin term that refers to “gentiums” or “peoples”. In the context of Roman law, “lus Gentium” was the set of rules based on natural reason (naturalis ratio) that were observed in the same way by all peoples. These rules were considered universal and applicable to all cultures and societies. Therefore, in the context of the film festival, “Gentium” could symbolize the unity and common humanity of all Mediterranean cultures.
Objective: to promote the cultural and cinematic diversity of the Mediterranean, facilitate cultural and artistic exchange between countries in the region and provide a platform for emerging and established filmmakers.
La Asociación Cultural Cinergias, con sede en Madrid, España, organiza la Edición Lanzamiento de Cinergias Festival de Cine Iberoamericano, que tiene como objetivo la promoción, difusión y reconocimiento de cineastas iberoamericanos para dar impulso a los jóvenes talentos con la divulgación de sus obras en formato corto, o de sus óperas primas de largometraje.
En esta primera edición de 2024 el festival busca generar una programación a partir de la reflexión, la multiplicidad de voces y discursos, y la diversidad de miradas.
El festival quiere constituirse en un espacio trascendente para un cine que sea relevantemente contemporáneo y que no tenga miedo de mirar al pasado ni al futuro.
Se trata de un festival no competitivo en su sección oficial de cortometrajes y largometrajes que pone el foco en una cuidada programación representativa de Iberoamérica y, en lugar de un premio único para uno de los participantes en la sección oficial, propone el pago por selección de 200 € a cada una de las películas seleccionadas.
El nombre de Cinergias surge de la combinación de las palabras cine y energía en su sentido de eficacia y virtud para obrar. Y a la vez alude al término sinergia, como la unión de varios elementos para obtener un resultado mayor al de esas partes por sí solas.
The shared memory center for democracy and peace (CMCDP) is a national human rights association with international extensions whose fields of action are:
- Issues related to memory and shared memory as knowledge and expertise;
- Promoting a culture of peace, coexistence and democracy;
- The fight against all forms of extremism;
- Defending human rights and contributing to the dissemination of their culture;
- Questions of identity and linguistic and cultural diversity.
- The consolidation and development of the values of solidarity and constructive dialogue between peoples and nations;
- Support for all generations of human rights.
It organizes an annual film festival in Nador, called the Festival International de Cinéma et Mémoire Commune (FICMEC), dedicated to the theme of memory.
In 2025, the theme of the 14th edition of the festival will be “The Memory of Peace”.
While some define peace as non-war, others go so far as to oppose it to all forms of violence. Although the preachers and emissaries of peace are constantly calling for :
- reconciliation between belligerents and warmongers to put an end to hostilities or ward off aggression and tip the balance in favor of collective intelligence;
- overcoming the stigma of the past through far-sighted dialogue and harmonious international relations;
- the promotion of a universal culture of pacifism through, among other things, the inclusion of the values of tolerance and fraternity in educational curricula;
- unanimous ratification of UN resolutions;
the resurgence of political, economic, religious and doctrinaire disputes has overtaken the voice of reason, compromising good-faith initiatives and plunging the international community into moral disarray.
The loss of life and devastation caused by any armed confrontation can be counted or at least estimated in post-war periods. Quantifiable, they provide information on the seriousness of the human and material damage caused or suffered. But who can accurately determine the impact of psychological trauma, accurately diagnose the wounds of the soul, and meticulously assess the after-effects of violence?
Memory wounds are difficult to suture in the short or medium term. To purge resentment, bend vindictiveness and soothe tormented consciences, taking the long and steep road to reconciliation seems the ideal solution for turning the bloody pages of the past. Memories, stories of resilience, forgiveness and solidarity, as well as shared painful experiences, are the best way to get rid of animosity and make way for amnesty.
The “Memory of Peace”, a concept that focuses on the elements of the past that call for appeasement and the building of a common future, has as its main foundations reconciliation and mutual understanding, learning from the mistakes of the past, anchoring the culture of non-violence in people's minds, and above all transmitting this memory to future generations through education, testimony and the arts, particularly cinema, which is a powerful vector of emotion and empathy.
In the light of the above, films will be selected that deal with one of the following themes:
- Reconciliation after war or genocide.
- Mutual understanding to overcome hatred and suffering and rebuild human and social bonds.
- Forgiveness and resilience
- Peace movements
- Emblematic figures of peace
- Learning from past mistakes
- spreading the values of justice and tolerance
- Anchoring the culture of non-violence in individual and collective memories
- Community initiatives that model peace and social cohesion
- Peace education through pedagogical approaches
As this list is not exhaustive, the festival management welcomes films dealing with other peace-related issues.
