The Barcelona International Documentary Film Festival, known as DocsBarcelona, is a film festival dedicated to the documentary genre . It is made up of competitive international sections and non-competitive sections. This festival brings together professionals from all over the world every year and offers lectures and master classes of interest to the documentary sector.
DocsBarcelona awards a dozen prizes in each edition, some of them decided by the Jury of each edition and others awarded by the public. The prizes with economic endowment are possible thanks to the sponsors of the festival.
Since it began its journey 26 years ago, DocsBarcelona has reached the figure of 1,677,249 spectators, if we add the public of the festival, Docs of the Month and other screenings in theaters and online. In parallel to the programming, its market has become a reference for professionals in southern Europe, with the presentation to potential funders of 718 projects, of which 272 were Spanish productions and, of these, 165 Catalan.
