Filmets
By Charlotte Stace
It's interesting—short films are frequently overlooked compared to their feature-length counterparts. However, despite their shorter runtime, some of the best short films possess an incredible ability to deliver powerful stories and artistry in a brief, yet profoundly impactful format.
In celebration of the short film, Filmets Badalona Short Film Festival, returns to mark its 50th anniversary. One of Catalunya’s oldest and most cherished film festivals, it has come a long way since its very first edition over five decades ago. Originally an international space for showcasing amateur films, the festival has evolved into a platform for both local talents and international icons in the film industry.
This year’s line-up celebrates an exciting mix of leading national and international short filmmakers, with an extensive programme of awe-inspiring films throughout October. So, what’s in store for us this year? The lineup includes: The Skylar Will Sing (by Xavier Montoriol), Cura Sana (by Lucia G. Romero), and The Painter’s Room (by Maria Colomer).
