in-FCTA 2025
Welcome to in-FCTA, the Terra Alta Film Festival – a cinematic celebration nestled in the heart of Catalonia’s most breathtaking landscapes.

This isn’t just a film festival. It’s a creative journey where cinema meets territory, where stories breathe through mountains, vineyards and medieval villages. in-FCTA is the total experience: screenings under the stars, immersive artistic installations, open-air parties, and local wine tastings – all surrounded by a warm, welcoming community.

We combine a high-quality selection of short films with industry networking, workshops, and artistic experiences. Whether you're a first-time filmmaker or a seasoned director, you’ll feel part of something alive and human.

No, the Coen brothers didn’t show up last year – but passionate creators from around the world did, and they left with more than awards: they left with stories, friendships and inspiration.
