THE FESTIVAL
THE FESTIVAL
The REC International Festival of Cinema in Tarragona is a festival focused on the new creation and the promotion of the emerging talent, and it’s celebrated since the beggining of the century in the mediterranean city of Tarragona (acknowledged as World Heritage by the Unesco).
Through its Opera Prima International Competition, with the emerging creators’ first works, along with its parallel sections, every year it’s an exhibition of the contemporanian ways of making cinema. RECLab (founded in 2014) is the one who impulses these new talents, supporting their work and guiding them to the Internatonal circuit.
Founded in 2001 as an Audiovisual Creation Sample, the Festival has been evolving together with the audiovisual language itself, giving diverse manifestations a voice (Live Cinema, video creation, etc.), giving it an informative,open and festive appearance. The Festival reaffirms its compromise with education, information and knowledge about actual cinema, as well as a formation of an audience, which builds the festival as a knowing today’s cinema and tomorrow’s creators platform
XXIII edition of the REC will take place from November 22 to 26, 2023
