Festival overview

About La mida no importa

Physical film festival in Barcelona, Spain with submission categories including Short Films.

Matter is to promote short film production and culture. Sometimes we are warned that if “size doesn't matter” we would have to select and show audiovisual works with no length limit, and perhaps they are not wrong.

However, we like to think that things do not have to be too big to be important, beautiful, necessary or decisive, and this is the philosophy that we have been applying since almost the first edition of this Festival. This objective is the reason that moves us and drives us to continue searching and rummaging through the proposals that reach us to make a selection of quite different themes, typology and genre to show the range of expressive possibilities of the short story.
