MajorDocs Creative Documentary Film Fest

The slow film festival focused on the author. MajorDocs is the first international documentary film festival in Mallorca; a space to discover other realities and other perspectives through a curated selection of documentaries and their directors. In a time defined by the sheer excess of content, MajorDocs proposes a slow experience: a journey through eight films, each with a deep author’s gaze, that encourage us to stop, step away from our daily lives and connect with not just the other, but also with our own sensibility. Five days to reflect, ask and discuss each film with its author in an intimate and close setting, without lecterns or pedestals. Each screening is a unique event without counterprogramming, since it is our goal to take care of each film and each author. During the festival, renowned filmmakers and new talents share their experiences with the public. An event that will stimulate the critical eye through screenings and talks, as well as workshops and discussions on documentary cinema. An unmissable date for anyone who enjoys looking without limits, discovering the unknown and stirring their heart. MANIFESTO MajorDocs goes out and looks for a creative documentary… 1. Hybrid, innovative, transgressive, adventurous. 2. Able to transcend the present and keep questioning ourselves in the future. 3. "Useless" – in which art prevails over functionality. 4. That digs deeply into the ins and outs of a complex world without staying on the surface. 5. That leaves a mark on the audience and is able to short-circuit the passive spectator. 6. In which the author’s gaze prevails over the facts. 7. Able to transcend, if the film demands for it, the limits of the classic narrative. TESTIMONIALS "With such a high level international program, having been part of MajorDocs was an authentic luxury. Despite not being able to attend due to the pandemic, I could almost feel myself physically there. I was invited to take part in a very interesting round table, and we could discuss my film during an extense and very well conducted interview. It was a very pleasant experience, and I hope to be able to attend the festival again, this time in person." Juan Palacios, filmmaker. "MajorDocs is a great festival, made with a lot of love. Apart from having a beautiful selection of films, I could enjoy very interesting professional activities and meetings. Mallorca and documentary film festival combine wonderfully!" Carlota Bujosa, filmmaker. "I loved the festival. The film selection was carefully curated, and the masterclasses were very enriching. It is a privilege for the island to have a festival dedicated to documentary cinema" Felipe Rico, filmmaker.
