An art world icon and a performance art pioneer – Marina Abramović has captivated audiences by pushing the limits of her body and mind, for the past 50 years.

Consolidated as the largest independent film festival in the UK, the event will welcome Catalonia as the guest of honour, a presence promoted by the Ministry of Culture through the Catalan Institute for Cultural Companies (ICEC) and its brand for the internationalisation of the Catalan audiovisual industry Catalan Films and the Ramon Llull Institute (IRL), with a curated selection of Catalan titles and professional activities.
