We have not set any boundaries in our search and whether a film is a pearl of the independent scene, fun splatter or no-brainer, H:LIFF loves special films!

FROM LA RAMBLA TO THE WORLD

A celebration of talent and the future of cinema in the heart of Barcelona.

The heart of Barcelona as a stage and platform for cinematic talent. La Rambla in Barcelona is much more than an emblematic avenue. It is a living symbol of the city, an open walkway to the world where cultures, languages, artistic expressions, and emotions converge. But beyond its touristic role, La Rambla also becomes a great showcase of Barcelona’s identity and a privileged path to project local cinematic talent on an international scale.
