l'Alternativa


La Fàbrica de Cinema Alternatiu was founded in September 1992 as a natural reaction against traditional film institutions. It was the initiative of directors, producers and other professionals from the audiovisual sector. La Fàbrica was constituted as a non profit-making association.

The main goal of La Fàbrica is to promote films which do not fit into commercial distribution channels - and to create a space for thinking and debate where subjects related to film and filmmaking can be discussed.

La Fàbrica de Cinema Alternatiu organizes different activities throughout the year: L'Alternativa Barcelona Independent Film Festival, the internet portal IFN and L'Alternativa Takes a Trip, itinerant film programmes made up of films screened at the Festival, and shown nationally and internationally.


L'ALTERNATIVA TAKES A TRIP
Film Exchanges

Over the years l'Alternativa has curated a number of film programmes, made up of films presented at the Festival, which have screened at film festivals, alternative venues, film clubs and independent cinemas, nationally and internationally.

The intention is to maximize the distribution of work selected and screened at the Festival, creating a network of sister organisations where films can be seen, programmes exchanged and so ensuring that the films and the Festival are active throughout the year.

l'Alternativa takes a Trip is the title of a series of film programmes we have curated with work dating from 1996 to the present.

We also curate individual programmes on request.

If you are interested and want more information please contact Tess Renaudo

We are also able to offer Film School programmes. Since 1994, the Festival has dedicated a section of the Festival to international film schools, and has curated programmes for festivals and non-commercial exhibition, alongside the festival screenings. If you are interested or want further information please contact Karina Scarone
