BCN Film Fest

The BCN Film Fest focuses on popular films for the general public with special attention to those related to the world of literature and history. This event aims to establish a close relationship with the cultural and popular character of the festival of Sant Jordi, the most emblematic of Barcelona. In keeping with this philosophy, the program of the Official Section is mainly dedicated to adaptations of literary works, productions with a historical background and biographical films about great personalities.
