Catalonia Ramblas - Together Diputación de Barcelona
Dragon that Gaudi designed at the gate to the Guell Pavilions , was the inspiration for the logo of the festival.
end of the 80 Barcelona start the conclusion of an annual international film festival , image and likeness of those who saw Cannes, Venice and San Sebastian . The city struggled to recover the years lost during the and Franco tried projected worldwide as a cultural landmark and tourist. They lived the eve of the Barcelona Olympics.
The project did not work neither commercial nor economic and Cinema Festival in Barcelona just disappear after a few years after a long crisis and numerous changes in its format. The dream of seeing parade down the red carpet Hollywood stars vanished altogether. However that gave the city an opportunity to focus on attracting more minor commercial cinema l, perhaps more minor, but more quality. Thus Barcelona has now become home to numerous independent film festivals, documentary or experimental as DiBa (digital cinema) the Docupolis ( documentary ) l'Alternativa (Independent Film) In the - Edit Beefeater (documentary film) or FCJ (Jewish Film)
failed from that experience was the Festival of Cinema of Barcelona is hard to find tracks or even in internet . But e n the floor of Rambla Catalunya we can find a plaque in memory of an initiative called "Manifest of Barcelona" closely linked to the event. 
The Manifest of Barcelona was a well-intentioned idea as utopian born within the first Festival of Cinema . It was a manifesto signed by prominent people in the world of film, which requested that the films were released in theaters as they were made by their authors, without censorship, without cuts, unchanged. The Manifest just as forgotten as the festival itself at birth. The film industry was not even that for non-business romanticism.
The Festival is in its early development issues around theaters Rambla Catalunya as "The Alcazar " Savoy "or" Alexandra " On 19 July 1987, the date of the opening ceremony, was placed on the floor of the Rambla de Catalunya , a few steps from the headquarters of the council, plate that read the Catalan and English:
"Manifesto of Barcelona - We as filmmakers, we demand as a moral right, that our films reach the viewer as they were originally conceived"
advertising at the time said that if further Hitchcock living also would have joined the Manifesto. We shall never know, but we do know is that in the list of 700 other signatories had characters as popular as Woody Allen , Pedro Almodovar , Paul Newman , Bernardo Bertolucci , Brian of palm or Roman Polanski .
Memories of a city that wanted and could not be.
