This year’s edition of the Gollut Festival is titled “The Abduction of the Image” and takes as its starting point the events that occurred in Núria in 1967 with the theft of the Romanesque statue of the Virgin Mary. The filmmaker Felip Solé explains this in the documentary “Paraula de mare,” which we will be able to see on Wednesday, August 28, and which serves as a framework for this year’s showcase.

The Gollut Festival, in its 11th edition, aims to reflect on the visibility and invisibility of images and the role of cinema as an art in motion. This year’s program explores the different types of visibility of images, based on the three eras of the image: the material image, the filmic image, and the electronic image. We will reflect through a program that opens on Friday, August 23, with the Italian film “La chimera” (2023) by Alice Rohrwacher, which we will present outdoors at the Hermitage of Sant Antoni, a tradition at the Gollut Festival.

Come to Gollut!
