The Menorca Film Festival is an initiative of FAR Cultural with the collaboration of the Island Council of Menorca as part of the Balearic Islands Day activities. It arises from the demand of the film sector to have spaces to show the work that filmmakers, producers, actors and actresses of Menorca are developing within the film sector, produced on the island and abroad, as well as to give visibility to auteur cinema and emerging filmmakers.
