Catalan Film Festival 10 We are excited to celebrate the profoundly creative and effervescent moment currently taking place across Catalan cinema. The region’s filmmaking has once again been celebrated in major international festivals such as Locarno, Toronto, Berlin, Cannes and San Sebastian, from which we have gathered, to bring to cinemas in Scotland, the latest Catalan films from award- winning features to the best short films with in-depth Q&As with our guest directors..

Silent at night (dir. Manuel Domenech) – 29 mins

Barcelona’s La Rambla is arguably the city’s most photographed street, with thousands of people walking through it every day, making it a major tourist hub.

But what happens on La Rambla after dark? This is the question two students from Pompeu Fabra University, Maria Bareche and Clara Barfull, wanted to explore when they began filming the street night after night.

Commun Spaces (dir. Ana Paz) – 19 mins

Can the transmission of words restore a forgotten memory? Can it break the silence perpetuated between generations? At 17, Mariona was arrested and placed in a correctional facility run by the Patronato de Protección a la Mujer, an institution dedicated to ‘regenerating fallen women’ during Franco’s regime and the first years of democracy. In 2023, she and her daughter are trying to put the pieces and gaps of this story back together.

Good Intentions (dir. Alma Ruiz) – 14 mins

A stone rests in a dry and abandoned place, on the outskirts of Barcelona, in the middle of a mountain that is no longer a mountain. Thousands of years ago it was a place to leave offerings. Sacrifices were made to ask for good omens. The stone remembers the last shepherd in the area, the only one who visited it, before disappearing with his sheep. In an eternal summer, suddenly, a visitor bursts into the stone’s existence.
