BARCELONA IS READY TO OFFER YOU THE BEST INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILMS OF 2018 WITH ITS MECAL FILM FESTIVAL
The Barcelona International Short and Animation Film Festival, Mecal, has returned for its 21st edition!
One of Spain’s most important short film festivals, Mecal has prepared a complete program with the best national and international short films of the year. The 5,000 submissions from over 110 countries around the world have been whittled down to 350 short films. These films have been assigned to one of the four different festival competitions: International, Oblique, Animation and Documentary. The festival includes several non-competing parallel programs as well.
“Soy una tumba”
If you’re interested in attending, there’s important information about the types of tickets available that you’ll need to know. The Festival Pass gives you entry to all of the festival sessions and conferences, except for workshops and NonStop Barcelona Animació activities. The Festival Pass can be purchased in advance here and at the box offices of the different festival venues as soon as the festival begins.
“Coronados”
The Daily Pass gives you entry to all of the festival sessions and conferences for one day, except for workshops and NonStop activities. These passes can only be purchased the same day at the venue’s box office: MACBA (during the first week), Institut français (second week), and Arts Santa Mònica (last week).
“Tierra mojada”
Neither the Festival passes nor Daily Passes give you direct access to the sessions! You must collect a ticket for each of the sessions you wish to attend in advance.
Tickets for workshops and NonStop activities must be purchased separately either at www.ticketea.com or at the venue’s box office.
Important: Some activities, like MEDIA Day, One-to-one, or the coaching sessions on pitching and crowdfunding are free, but previous registration is required through email by writing to mercado@mecalbcn.org.

Hola, Victoria! Perdón por no haber contestado antes! Al final, por el tema del COVID-19, cancelaron el festival! No van a ver una edición 2020, así que hay que esperar hasta el marzo de 2021. Un saludo!
