Mecal, the International Short Film and Animation Festival of Barcelona reaches its 25th edition in 2023. This year, Mecal is organized in several sections: the competition, the parallel sessions (out-of-competition shorts) and parallel activities such as music programming. The official competition section is divided, in turn, into four official sections: Animation (6 sessions), International (7 sessions), Oblique (5 sessions) and Documentary (5 sessions).

Mecal Pro 2023 will take place during 11 days at the Can Framis Museum (open-air sessions) and in the auditorium of the Hotel Voraport.
