My First Festival
is a film fest for schools and family audiences which celebrates its fourth edition this year. With venues at Verdi Cinemas, the Catalan
Film Institute (Filmoteca de Catalunya), ad CCCB in Barcelona, the event will
take place from 19 to 27 November 2011.

The
festival was set up to promote children’s films in all their variety
and creativity, showcasing a selection of works from all over the world
and from throughout cinema history. Its goals are to entertain and to
educate, to stimulate the imagination and creativity and to awaken the
critical spirit.

The MPF is promoted and coordinated by MODIband, the cultural association which also organises the Sala Montjuïc open-air film seasons, in cooperation with several other organisations such as the Filmoteca de Catalunya (Catalan Film Institute) and the French Institute in Barcelona.

My First Festival is also supported by the Government of Catalonia’s Catalan Institute for the Cultural Industries (ICIC) and Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB).
