Short films often fly under the radar compared to feature-length movies, yet many pack an extraordinary punch. In just a few minutes, the best shorts can deliver deeply moving stories and striking visuals - proof that brevity can be remarkably powerful.

In celebration of the short film, Filmets Badalona Short Film Festival returns to the city once more. One of Catalunya’s oldest 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. A highlight for 2025 is the launch of FILMETS LAB, a creative development space for young filmmakers aged 18-30, as well as FILMETS Talk, which offers industry-focused sessions. 

This year’s line-up is yet to be released, but one thing’s for sure - there’ll be an exciting, diverse mix of national and international short filmmakers.
