L'Alternativa 2022
to
Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) Carrer de Montalegre 5, 08001 Barcelona

In 1993, L’Alternativa was the first festival in Barcelona to commit to auteur cinema. Since then, its programming has focused on a selection of films that reject conventional approaches and which are not included in more commercial events. This year the Barcelona Independent Film Festival, l'Alternativa, reaches its 29th edition. For nearly three decades it's 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.
Together with the different sections of short films and feature films, the festival offers the public and professionals a unique opportunity to enjoy activities that defend diversity, creativity and reflection from a more experimental and daring perspective.
Alongside the screenings, l'Alternativa Activities includes seminars, masterclasses, debates with creators, panel discussions, performances, creative workshops for children and grownups and Film School seminars. In addition, l'Alternativa Professionals will be holding the 13th Professional Symposium and the 10th Mentoring Projects.
In 2022 the festival once again offers a hybrid edition: onsite screenings and activities, a selection of films available on Filmin and a series of streamed activities for the public and industry professionals.
