Come join us for a warm and celebratory night of cinema as we revisit some of our favourite short films from past editions of the Catalan Film Festival. This special compilation brings together stories that moved us, surprised us and stayed with us, full of daring ideas, distinctive visual forms and deeply human moments from Catalan filmmakers. It’s a chance to gather, remember why these films matter and enjoy them together on the big screen.
We’ll also have a surprise raffle on the night, so you can try your luck! This event is also our first fundraiser of the season in Glasgow. As we prepare the 11th edition of the Catalan Film Festival, your support matters more than ever, and every penny raised on the night will go directly towards making CFF 11 possible.
Bring your friends, your chosen family and your community, and help us spread the word.
