Bilbao Mendi Film Festival
10 days of cinema that you cannot miss.
Bilbao Mendi Film Festival offers you that and more: mountaineering, climbing, skiing, extreme sports, exploration and issues related to ecology and the environment. All these gathered together in a broad audiovisual programme and in lots of simultaneous activities.
Join the thousands of people who enjoy themselves watching the fifty films we offer, apart from the video and photography workshops, sports clinics, book presentations, exhibitions, competitions, lectures and panel discussions.
In December, Bilbao gets full of climbers, adventurers, athletes, filmmakers, producers and artists of international renown. Since its early beginning in Vitoria-Gasteiz back in 2008, Bilbao Mendi Film Festival has become a major international benchmark of film festivals related to mountaineering, climbing, adventure and extreme sports, becoming in record time one of the most important attractions of the industry.
There will be creativity, inspiration, spreading, training and fun within reach. Come and join the ‘Mendi’ family, a high-mountain festival at sea level.
Raul Fdez. de Pinedo
Executive producer
He is dedicated to recording, editing and post-producing video for so long he hardly remembers since when. He has worked in all kinds of programs from extreme reality shows, to documentaries about high-mountain. Currently he works among stoves. In the "Mendi" he is responsible for recording and editing small pieces and, mainly, for subtitling and preparing the sessions for the projections. The mountain and the sea are his passions, but lately the upbringing of his children keeps him quite busy.
Nerea Falagan
Press and Production Departments
Journalist and photographer, Nerea is always willing to learn new things. She loves Arts and Nature, so she dedicates a large part of her time to photography, to go to the beach or to the mountain, and watch movies. She is always ready to collaborate on the projects in which plunges, as she has done in the Getxophoto Festival and the film Argi. She likes team work, and though she prefers working behind the cameras she is able to act in public.
