The 16th edition of the BCN Sports Film Festival has come to an end after nine days of screenings (23 February to 3 March 2026).

This Tuesday, 3 March, at 6:00 pm, Cinemes Girona hosted the final screening of the 16th edition of the BCN Sports Film Festival: “And the winners are”, a special session featuring a selection of this year’s award-winning and standout films from the festival’s line-up. The session closed the festival by celebrating different stories connected by a shared thread: sport as a

BCN Sports Film Festival has lived today, Sunday 1 March, a day featuring two sessions that connect cinema and conversation. The main highlight took place at Cinemes Girona with the screening of Mother & Footballer and the post-screening talk with Ona Carbonell, President of the Motherhood & Sport Commission of the Spanish Olympic Committee, alongside Francesc TerrĂłn, Director of the Barcelona Olympic Foundation (Fundació Barcelona OlĂmpica). Cinemes Girona | Mother & Footballer: a much-needed look at motherhood in professional football The session focused on a reality that is still not widely visible in elite sport: what happens when motherhood becomes part of a professional career shaped by demands, tight calendars, public exposure and job uncertainty. The documentary offers a collective portrait that invites reflection on work–life balance, rights, real support systems and the often invisible obstacles many athletes face in order to keep competing. Parallel activity | Motherhood on and off the pitch: naming the challenges After the screening, the talk expanded the discussion through lived experience and an institutional lens, addressing topics such as the pressure to return, the physical and emotional management of the process, the lack of role models, the role of clubs and organisations in protecting athletes, and the need to ensure motherhood does not become an endpoint in a sporting career.
