Call for proposals: BARQ Festival Barcelona

Invitation to take part in the Barcelona International Architecture Film Festival, BARQ. An initiative of the production company NIHAO Films with the support of Fundació Mies van der Rohe, ARQUIN-FAD and Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya.

The BARQ Festival is a film festival aimed at vindicating films on architecture as a specific genre and at deepening the relationship between architecture and the seventh art. Cinema uses architecture to show and create worlds that explore social realities, and architecture uses cinema to encourage reflection on the most current issues regarding the spaces we inhabit.

The BARQ Festival will hold its first edition from 11 to 16 May 2021 within the framework of Barcelona Architecture Week, in person and in online format, with an extensive programme that includes a selection of national and international documentary films as well as a variety of parallel activities (talks, debates, workshops, conferences).

If you have or are shooting a documentary about architecture, be it a full-length film or a short film, we invite you to submit it to the BARQ Festival to be part of the official selection.
