Mecal Pro Barcelona 2026

Mecal Pro Barcelona 2026 once again turns Barcelona into a meeting point for those who understand cinema as a territory without limits or fixed formats. From 21 to 31 May, 17 July, 18 June and 7 August, the International Short Film and Animation Festival celebrates its 28th edition with a free programme bringing together works from twenty countries and an open view of very different ways of telling stories.

About this event

Screenings will take place in venues as diverse as Museu Can Framis, with open-air sessions, and Mecal Factory, where the festival will continue indoors. The programme crosses genres and styles with no intention of following predictable paths: international competition, animated documentary, children’s sessions and proposals as distinctive as trash anime coexist in a programme designed to surprise.

Beyond the screen, Mecal Pro expands the experience with meetings, masterclasses and pitching workshops led by industry professionals. A space where the public can also engage with the processes, ideas and conversations behind each work.

With free entry and a programme in constant motion, Mecal Pro continues to show that the shortest stories are not always the smallest.
