The In-Edit festival will again fill the city with music documentaries from October 25 to November 4. The press conference for the presentation of the program was attended by Daniel Granados, director of Cultura Viva and Presidency Advisor at the Institute of Culture of the City Council of Barcelona (ICUB); Cristian Pascual, director of In-Edit and Luis Hidalgo, artistic director of the festival. The King, about Elvis Presley, will inaugurate the event, "an excuse to talk about the American dream and a socio-political radiography of the USA," as Hidalgo stated. "Yo soy la rumba", about Peret will be the protagonist of the closing.

About the festival, Daniel Granados highlighted "his ability to generate a community, beyond his audience, to involve audiovisual filmmakers and encourage young local and international talent" and to offer "a new approach to understanding the contemporary world" through his documentaries.

Regarding programming, the artistic director says that "we are not interested in a type of music. We are interested in music." For the festival the perfect documentary is one in which you do not care about music, but it tells you a story. As its eclectic programming shows. The director of the festival, Cristian Pascual, said that the organization continues to work "from the perspective of the periphery of music" with sections such as Km.0, bringing musical documentaries closer to the city's civic centers and libraries, scheduling concerts as the SitBack at L'Auditori with French pianist Cristophe Chassol and with the short film contest to promote young talent.

As a noteworthy setback this year, the director has stressed that it has had to resort to a change of location to the Aribau Multicines since the venues of the Aribau Club, where much of the festival was held, closed in the month of July. "In real terms, we lose something over 200 seats with the change of location; in relative terms, we will program differently, with more passes or with other time management, but what is certain is that the city has lost an emblematic hall ", added Pascual.

Among the new documentaries announced includes the premiere in Spain of the highly anticipated documentary MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. by Steve Loveridge, I Used to Be Normal: A Boyband Fangirl Story, by Jessica Leski on the phenomenon of the "boybands", the beautiful Beautiful Things, by Giorgio Ferrero, Milford Graves Full Mantis by Jake Meginsky, Shut Up and Play The Piano by Phillipp Jedicke on Chilly González, The Strange Sound of Happiness by Diego Pascal Panarello on the harp of mouth, the national instrument of Siberia and Where are you, João Gilberto? by Georges Gachot. These films join those already announced in July. There is still 40% of titles to be announced.
