Docs Barcelona 2024
By Charlotte Stace
The international documentary festival DocsBarcelona returns for yet another edition. The festival is a global project based solely on ‘the documentary’. While its principal purpose is to screen a range of nationally and internationally made documentaries, it also offers a professional market, distribution brand, exhibition network and courses for documentary filmmakers.
This year’s official selection features films such as Rosine Mbakam’s Mamvar Pierrette, Patricia Franquesa’s My Sextortion Diary, Sissel Morell Dargis’ Balomania, Adria Silvestre’s May Your Will be Done, and Laura Plancarte’s Mexican Dream. Films will be shown at a variety of locations across the city including Cinemes Girona, Sala Phenomena, the CCCB, and Cinemes Renoir Floridablanca.
Both informative and entertaining, the festival gives a thorough overview of some of the best factual films made in recent years. Tickets start at 40 Euros and include 6 passes to any of the films on show.
