by

Up to 9 Catalan productions will be part of the 14th edition of the BCN Sports Film Festival, which will start next February 19. This festival, with its origins in Barcelona, will bring you closer to the most captivating stories from the world of sports.

 

The BCN Sports Film Festival, once again, offers us a unique window to explore the richness and diversity of sports disciplines through the creativity and passion of local filmmakers. This year we have 9 Catalan productions highlighting the connection between cinematography and the sporting spirit of the region.

 

From the adrenaline rush of parkour in “Santorini, el paradís del parkour” to the century-old obsession with sailing in “100 Years of Sailing Obsession”, these films not only celebrate sporting achievements, but also explore the human stories behind each feat.



Santorini, the paradise of parkour

What happens when two parkour athletes venture to the paradise of Santorini to explore its blue and white rooftops? This film not only shows the risky moments of a sport like parkour, but also reveals the essence of an exciting way of life.
