My First Festival is a film fest for schools and family audiences which celebrates its third edition this year. With venues at Verdi Cinemas and the Catalan Film Institute (Filmoteca de Catalunya) in Barcelona, the event will take place from 20 to 28 November 2010.

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.

This year we include in the program a competition section open to short films, fiction and animated, targeted to children from 5 to 12 years old.
