Mecal Air Es Baluard

Mecal Air Es Baluard is a FES'16 festival (Summer Festivals at Es Baluard)

Mecal Air Es Baluard is an exquisite selection of different thematic seasons of short films from the Barcelona International Short Film Festival. The Mecal Air sessions will take place in the open air for three Fridays in the month of August, in the central patio of Es Baluard. An attractive proposal to start the summer weekend in Palma, open to everyone. Short films with different, always attractive themes, in an artistic setting, alternating with DJ sessions, bring visitors and those new to cultural leisure.

One more year, film and music join in the three Mecal Air thematic nights, which combine screening of short films with DJ sessions with Aina Losange, Funzktaztic and Conejo Manso. The event starts every Friday at 9 pm with opening doors and music until the short films sessions, running from 9.30 on. All sessions include two breaks entertained by DJs. A must for lovers of good cinema, with completely free admission seating appointment.
