La Mida No Importa/Size Doesn't Matter

Spain

festival

Can we affirm, in fact, that Size doesn’t matter? We are convinced it doesn’t. In terms of having the chance to express ideas, art, feelings… or anything else you may add to this list, the “size factor” is most probably the less of importance. Therefore, why not then, look for tiny short for tiny places, with a tiny budget, for big reasons? That’s how everything started.

LA MIDA NO IMPORTA/SIZE DOESN’T MATTER is a short film festival that presents through different genres and expressive codes, stories about personal and everyday experiences that highlight the diversity of human relationships, the value of dialogue and cultural interaction.

La Mida introduces international short films of short length for three days in January on two screens in the Raval district of Barcelona. Two spaces that illustrate its diversity: the Ateneu del Raval and the Meier Auditorium of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA).

Event date

20 – 22 January, 2022

La Mida No Importa has five programs in competition (around 45 titles). It has the collaboration of a jury of independent professionals from the field of culture and audiovisual that award the two official prizes which have an economic endowment (€1.000 & €500).
