7TH INTERNATIONAL CRAFT AUDIOVISUAL EXHIBITION

The International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition, promoted by the Catalan Government through the Consortium of Commerce, Crafts and Fashion (CCAM), is a meeting point for two fields:
crafting and audiovisual. It was created to generate synergies and promote the creation of quality audiovisuals based on artisanal creative processes and focusing on artisans and their crafts.

The exhibition is the only one of its kind to be held in Catalonia and throughout Spain. This year it reaches its seventh edition to show the diversity and creative richness of the crafting world, through unique and contemporary stories from artisanal crafts around the world.

In past editions we have seen projects showing the commitment to sustainability and feminism, documenting the fusion between technological innovation and crafts or audiovisuals explaining the roots of crafting in the territory.

In this seventh edition, we will value quality proposals with more accurate and exigent audiovisuals. Format and content innovation will be the main spotlight but also international projects opening cultural dialogues and allowing diversity.

The pieces must be original and unpublished, and they will be presented at the Gala that will take place at the Disseny Hub Barcelona on the 27th of September. The films will then be available on the FILMIN cinema platform, the CCAM website and the ‘Exhibition on the Road’.

Once more, the coordination and management will be taken care of by bbintervencions. We will guide you and help you with any questions you might have during the process.

Welcome to the 7th International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition, welcome to the joy of crafting!

The festival champions great films but is particularly seeking work from those filmmakers who might not yet have had a prestigious public screening of their work.

Screening in the heart of London UKFF welcomes films of all types from all over the World - connecting up-and-coming filmmakers with more established names such as Judi Dench, Dustin Hoffman, James Corden, Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, Steven Berkoff and most recently Willem Dafoe.

Category awards are given for Best Feature Film; Best Feature Documentary; Best Short Documentary; Best Animation; Best Music Video; Best British Short; Best International Short; Best Student Film; as well as special awards for excellence.

Mat Kirkby, Oscar Winner and Director at Ridley Scott Associates states that "The UK Film Festival is the most focused, passionate and quality driven film festival in the UK. Their invaluable support helped get me to the Oscars in 2015, where I won the Academy Award for best short film."

With a programme that showcases new talent alongside established directors, filmmakers and actors UKFF is a lively networking hub. Over the last 7 years UKFF has quickly become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting films which have gone on to be Oscar and BAFTA nominees and winners. The script competitions have also made a big impact - five scripts have been optioned and three have been produced and gone on to win multiple awards and gained prestigious worldwide distribution deals.

Led by a jury of well respected professional filmmakers and as a member of Universal Films and Festivals Organisation we ensure a fair selection and judging process.

Our exciting screening events have created a networking hub that continues to connect new filmmakers to industry including television exposure by leading British broadcaster, Channel 4.
