Film criticism has become an inseparable aspect of the festival, aiming to showcase film selection, bring to focus societal and political questions the selected films depict, and also to promote critical reading of film based on argument, knowledge and sensibility.
The creative workshops were aimed at film readers, journalists from the area of culture, and young people, who write and want to publish art criticism. The workshop was moderated by Miquel Martí Freixas, university professor, film critic, experienced selector, and one of the founders of the Spanish magazine Blogs and Docs, dedicated to documentary and experimental film.
