BCN Sports Film is part of the World FICTS Challenge, an international circuit of 18 festivals dedicated to sports-themed audiovisual productions. The Fédération Internationale Cinéma te Télévision Sportifs (FICTS), founder and sponsor of the circuit, is a non-profit association that, with the collaboration of the 116 member countries and the International Olympic Committee, promotes Olympism, and the ethical and cultural sport through film and television.
The main objectives of BCN Sports Film are research, dissemination and knowledge of audiovisual creations related to sports in general. The phenomenon of sport as a representation of society explains its importance as a spectacle, but there is nothing better than this cinematic spectacle to understand its virtues.
