Mecal Air Barcelona

After a year of forced stoppage, 2 online editions and a culture suffocated by restrictions, Mecal’s short films return to the streets of Barcelona as a breath of fresh air: Mecal Air 2021 starts with a double session of open-air short films all Fridays and Saturdays of the summer in Jardins Elisava (behind the Museu del Disseny, in Glòries).

After months of confinement and masks, we all need an injection of oxygen, a shot of energy: that is why we inaugurated on Friday June 25 with a session of “Oxygenated Short Films”, a varied and refreshing program that will give you an idea of ​​what you will be able to keep watching the rest of the summer. To continue with the good vibes of the newly released summer, on Saturday June 26, laughter will be the protagonists with a special humor, a marathon of comedies to break the bank.

The Barcelona International Short Film and Animation Festival thus returns to its origins, to its essence: let’s not forget that MECAL began as a European Open Air Short Film Festival, a series of open air projections to enjoy the best short-format pieces of the international scene under the stars, accompanied by the coolness of the evening breeze.
