BARQ – Festival Internacional de Cinema d'Arquitectura de Barcelona

The BARQ Festival is the only film festival dedicated to architecture and interior design in Spain and it is an initiative of the production company Nihao Films, specialized in audiovisual production of architectural films, with the support of Fundació Mies van der Rohe, the Arquin-FAD Association,the Architects’ Association of Catalonia (COAC), the Fundación ARQUIA and the Fundación ICO.

BARQ Festival is a film festival dedicated to analyse and to deepen in the relationships between the first and the seventh art. Cinema uses architecture to show and create worlds exploring social realities, and architecture uses cinema to reach all of the society.

With an extensive program that includes a selection of national and international documentary films and various parallel activities (talks, debates, workshops, conferences), the BARQ Festival brings to all its audience new perspectives on the creative processes behind architectural practice through cinema, in order to stimulate a dialogue between both arts and generate debate on urban, cultural, social and environmental issues.
