ENTRY RULES 2021

1.-PRESENTATION

La GRAN pantalla, is an intergenerational cinematic meeting space that seeks to dismantle stereotypes of the elderly through cinema. Thus, having as a thematic focus the representation of the elderly, we look for stories that allow us to generate new readings and discourses about it, going beyond the conventional representations that are usually associated with this stage of life.

The third version of this film festival will take place from July 1 to 4, 2021 in Barcelona city.

La GRAN pantalla is an original idea of ​​elParlante, an entity specialized in the design, implementation and evaluation of communication strategies that for several years has been developing important projects of a social nature. Among them is work in campaigns and empowerment projects with elderly people using the theater, audiovisual and formal education.
