Docúpolis, the International Documentary Film Festival of Barcelona,
celebrates its sixth edition and announces the official call for entries
for the International Competition.
This year Docúpolis added new sections with the intention of creating a
festival that connects and establishes alliances with other
international festivals.
We are conscious of the responsibility we bear, developing a documentary
festival. Especially one with a permanent annual growth in all its
areas: documentary, spectators, students and especially in the educative
area.
Following the line of previous editions, Docúpolis will project the
majority of documentaries in the great ambience of the Center of
Contemporary Culture of Barcelona.
The growing importance of documentaries in Spain and the intention of
opening new spaces for its diffusion into diverse geographic areas,
motivates us to continue delineating diverse forms of representing our
culture and recovering our memory.

Lessons", with Rupert Grint in the lead role (a household name after his
part in "Harry Potter"), Julie Walters (the teacher in "Billy Elliot")
