About the festival

Americana Film Fest is the only North American indie film festival in the south of Europe, and the one to open festival season in Barcelona, Spain. Americana is a young non-profit festival founded in 2014 with the objective to bring to Barcelona the best American indie films of the year, both festival hits and up-and-coming talents. This type of films are rarely released in our theaters, thus our festival is a unique opportunity for our audience to discover them.
