dPanoràmic, festival of Cinema, Photography and more, wich celebrates its 8th edition from October 10 to Decembre 29 in Granollers, Barcelona and, for the first time Terrassa, announces all the exhibitions of the program. This year the festival will feature 17 exhibitions that revolve around the theme of the festival , which is linked to the idea of ’“Extremes”: from the extreme violence and totalitarian ideologies of the fast-paced 20th century, to the economic and social paradigm shifts of the 21st century.

As a novelty, Panoràmic 2024 grows and expands. The festival expands the number of days,
cities and programmed activities. Each city will inaugurate the exhibitions on different dates:
Granollers on October 10, Barcelona on October 24, and Terrassa on November 14.

The festival, which aims to be a meeting point between the still image and the moving image,
with disciplines ranging from photography to film, video, installation and other contemporary
visual practices, will feature exhibitions, screenings, debates, workshops, guided tours and
conferences in the various cultural spaces of the three cities.

Panoràmic File, the project that invites artists to work with historical archives of Granollers, Barcelona and for the first time Terrassa, with the aim of activating their collections and making them visible, will feature the choreographic action of the dancer Marta Ros, based on photographs from the Arxiu Municipal de Granollers; with the project of the artist Joan Pallé at the Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona; with the intervention of the photographer Paula Artés at the Arxiu d’Etnografia i Folklore de Catalunya; with the visual artist Ro Caminal based on images from the Arxiu Tobella in Terrassa and with Enric Mauri, who has worked with some material of the archive of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya that refers to Montseny. All these proposals reflect on the representation and ostentation of power and social hierarchies.

The theme of this year’s festival is linked to the idea of “Extremes”, from the extreme violence and totalitarian ideologies of the accelerated 20th century, to the economic and social paradigm shifts of the 21st century. Panoràmic 2024 pays attention to the post-historical and post-capitalist society, with new ideologies, utopias and organizational models.
