The Barcelona Independent Film Festival, l’Alternativa, is now in its 31st edition. For over three decades we have been offering filmgoers and professionals a unique opportunity to discover and enjoy screenings and activities that value creative freedom, diversity, innovation, commitment and thought-provoking reflection.
This year we will once again be running a hybrid edition: onsite screenings and activities from 14 to 24 November 2024 plus a selection of films from the 31st edition available on Filmin during our online fortnight in January 2025.
L’Alternativa has three competition sections in l’Alternativa Official: Spanish Films, International Feature Films and International Short Films.
L’Alternativa Parallel presents tributes, premieres, little-known films, work by new directors and a programme of family screenings.
And l’Alternativa Hall offers a rich, varied programme of free screenings, performances and debates in the CCCB Hall.
Hall Selects is a bridge between l’Alternativa Official and l’Alternativa Hall. Whittling down the many entries we receive for the official sections is a painstaking process designed to produce a final selection that showcases a wide range of striking films that reflect the spirit of the festival. Here we open up a space in which we can share an additional selection of impressive films and offer the Hall audience the chance to engage directly with the filmmakers and others members of the creative and artistic teams.
Hall Selects Tuesday 19 November, 6 pm, Hall CCCB, 111 min
