Festival overview

About The Ring of Fire

Physical film festival in barcelona, Spain with submission categories including Exclusive and All Categories.

Welcome to The Ring of Fire International Film Festival! We are excited to share with you our festival's history and what we offer to filmmakers like you.

Our festival was born in 2013 with the goal of promoting local and national artists. In our early years, we projected 31 to 41 works in each edition.

In 2022, we return with a totally different concept: we are now an international festival with the addition of international producers, directors, and distributors. Here's what we offer to our filmmakers

Big Event: We move to one of the most important cinemas in Barcelona with rooms of +500 spectators to give independent filmmakers like you the exposure you need. We have agreements with institutes, film schools, and cinema clubs to fill +90% of all the projections we do.

If no one sees your project, you don't exist. Our number one goal is to help you in any way we can.

Networking: Our team consists of many film producers and people with many connections within the film industry. We will work to help you connect with the film industry.

We live in difficult times, and it is our way of helping you to continue doing the festival circuit. Communication: We have an entire communication team that will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

We believe that communication is key, and we strive to keep you informed every step of the way. IMDb Film Festival: Now, let's answer some frequent questions we receive
