Mendi Film Festival

06/12/2024 - 15/12/2024

A HIGH MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL AT SEA LEVEL

Mountain Cinema is our passion, and we want to share with you the energy and inspiration it brings us, with our best wishes and hopes. In 2024, we will celebrate the 17th edition of BBK Mendi Film Bilbao - Bizkaia. We are certain that all productions submitted to the Official Selection will be full of said values.

More than 50,000 viewers have enjoyed a selection of 50-60 films each year. These films come from countries all over the world and all of them are screened in their original version with English, Basque and Spanish subtitles.

Furthermore, Mendi Film Festival also offers an extensive programme of activities, including workshops and conferences with directors and athletes who provide testimony on their experience.

The magic of sharing experiences with adventurers that face new challenges, and legendary characters of international recognition attracts people from all over the world. Those enthusiastic followers are really keen on films and exhibitions of spectacular images.

Mendi Film Festival is also a highlight of a vision of humanity, environmental defence, cultural relevance and human interest stories. We put an enormous amount of effort and passion into organising a top quality festival, which is intended to be enjoyed in a beautiful city surrounded by mountains at sea level.
