The highly-anticipated Catalan Film Festival returns for its ninth edition coming to cinemas across Scotland between the 8th and 30th of March 2025.

The Catalan Film Festival programme this year offers an intimate and contemporary exploration of family relationships, memory, and personal transformation. Each of these films uniquely delves into the complex bonds, expectations, and dynamics that connect us, while reflecting on the inevitable presence of death in our lives – only to celebrate life in the most luminous ways. Through these stories, life is celebrated in its most vulnerable moments, its fleeting beauty, and its ability to reinvent itself.

As in previous editions, the festival is created and produced by CinemaAttic with close support from Institut Ramon Llull and Screen Scotland with additional support from Estrella Damm, Centre Català and Colla Castellera d’Edinburgh.

We are delighted to welcome three guests this year, Pilar Palomero, Mar Coll and Alba Bresoli to help us contextualise the programme and give an insider view not only on their individual films but also the film panorama of Catalonia.

We take every opportunity to ensure the details for Catalan Film Festival are accurate, if any of the above information is incorrect we would appreciate if you could take a minute to suggest an edit.

All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
