About BBK MENDI FILM Bilbao Bizkaia

Created in 2008 by Eduardo Martinez (President) and Javier Barayazarra (Director) and thanks to an active cultural and mountaineering community movement, rooted in the "peak" bestrewn heartland of the country, we sought & seek to offer a festival in which the inhabitants of, visitors to and the lovers of mountains would be regaled with films, short films and documentaries reflecting the aforementioned from the four corners of the planet. A selection of 40-50 films each year and a growing support from more than twenty six thousand spectators in 2018. These films coming from countries all over the world and all of them in their original versión and subtitled into English, Basque and Spanish. Furthermore, Mendi Film also offers an extensive programme of activities, including the presence of directors and athletes who provide the direct testimony of their experience. The magic of sharing the experience with adventurers that face new challenges, and legendary characters of international recognition, is able to attract people keen on films and enthusiastic followers really thrilled by spectacular images from the most amazing corners of the world. Mendi Film is also a highlight of a vision of humanity, environmental defence, cultural relevance and human interest stories. We place an enormous amount of effort and passion into organising a top quality festival crafted so as to be enjoyed in the sitting of a beautiful city surrounded by mountains at sea level. Mendi Film is Member of International Alliance for Mountain Film since 2011 and since February 2018 the director of the festival, Javier Barayazarra, holds the presidency of the Alliance. All in all, and due to a very distinctive character, Mendi Film is worldwide reference.
