Binu: A Two-Stars Story, Creatura, In the Company of Women, The Permanent Picture, Quest

a weekend of Catalan cinematic wonders

With the Festival now underway, we want to draw your attention to CAMERA CATALONIA, a collection of outstanding Catalan films, many of which are screening this weekend.


We are incredibly pleased to present the winner of the Europa Cinemas award for Best European Film at Cannes, CREATURA, a profound exploration of a woman's relationship with desire, directed and acted by the multi-talented Elena Martín Gimeno.


QUEST, a captivating feature directed by Antonina Obrador, follows biologist Lluc, who is on a mission to catalogue flora on a deserted island, Quest, where he encounters a supernatural element, all while grappling with the loss of his wife.


BINU: A TWO-STARS STORY, dive into the life of Francesc and Francina, a couple managing their restaurant as if the 70s never ended. This engaging documentary captures their charm and the essence of a bygone era with a dash of humanity.


IN THE COMPANY OF WOMEN, set in the transformative summer of 1976, young Bea is drawn to a group of women advocating for women’s rights, encapsulating the feminist movement of the time in Spain.


THE PERMANENT PICTURE, the debut feature of talented director Laura Ferrés, discusses migration, loneliness, and family bonds with a combination of deadpan comedy and drama, exquisite observation, and love for its characters.


Join us to celebrate the brilliance of Catalan filmmakers, their unique storytelling, and the diverse narratives that reflect both the cultural heritage and the modern-day nuances of Catalonia.


We are incredibly grateful to Institut Ramon Llull, who are presenting Camera Catalonia at the 42nd Cambridge Film Festival.
