with the collaboration of iHC-UAB
The first edition of Fictions of Science kicks off — a festival that, through cinema, explores how science shapes the way we live, imagine, and understand the world. It will take place from May 26 to June 6, 2025, across various venues in Barcelona.
The program includes 19 short films divided into two official sections: Science and Society and Science and Mental Health.
The festival will also feature special out-of-competition screenings, such as Searching for My Own Name, by Pablo García Pérez de Lara — a film that denounces the institutionalization of women during the Franco regime (May 28 at La Bonne); and Cyborg Generation, by David Morillo, which follows Kai Landre’s journey into transhumanism (May 31 at Cinemes Texas). Both screenings will be followed by post-screening discussions.
The program is rounded out by several panel discussions and debates, including Cinema and Science: Perspectives, Narratives, and Frictions (May 27 at Fundació Carulla), and Mental Health and Stigma in Cinema, offering spaces for reflection with health professionals,
filmmakers, and thinkers.
