Moritz Feed Doc and the Disseny Hub (DHub) join forces in an unprecedented collaboration to celebrate the closing of the Festival’s tenth edition on Saturday, March 21, with a very special event that will take place at DHub, where the color pink will play a leading role.
The event, created with the ambition of becoming an essential annual appointment for fashion in Barcelona, will feature the presence of prominent personalities from the city’s cultural and fashion industries.
The closing ceremony will also host the awards presentation for the tenth edition, recognizing the Best Documentary in the Festival’s Official Section. The titles competing for Best Film in the Official Section are Akris: Fashion With a Heritage; The Designer is Dead; Gucci: Luxe, Drame et Volupté; Bardot; and Stoff / Lace Relations.
The evening will also include the Catalonia premiere of the film The Designer is Dead, dedicated to Mallorcan artist and international fashion reference Miguel Adrover, with the presence of its director Gonzalo Hergueta, and producers Juan Pérez de Rozas and Cris Trenas from Little Spain.
This closing event holds special significance as it marks the end of the tenth edition of Moritz Feed Doc, a milestone that confirms the festival as an international reference in fashion documentary cinema. After ten editions fostering critical reflection on the fashion industry and culture, the Festival celebrates this trajectory through a strategic alliance with DHub, the city’s main center for promoting design and creative industries.
This partnership represents an important step in building synergies between independent platforms and public institutions working to promote fashion culture from a contemporary, transversal and engaged perspective. It also reinforces the shared ambition of positioning Barcelona as a capital of thought, innovation and creativity.
This first joint initiative comes at a particularly relevant moment, coinciding with the rollout of the Barcelona Fashion Strategic Plan, promoted by the Barcelona City Council through ICUB. The plan aims to strengthen fashion as a key cultural and economic sector for the city. In this context, the collaboration between Moritz Feed Doc and DHub exemplifies the intention to connect fashion with other creative industries such as cinema and audiovisual production, while boosting the sector’s international visibility.
The festival’s closing gala at DHub forms part of this strategy, promoting local talent and supporting projects that connect culture, industry and innovation, positioning fashion as a key axis within Barcelona’s creative ecosystem and aiming to consolidate the city as an international fashion capital.
The March 21 closing event is expected to become an essential gathering for professionals in the sector, creators, the educational community and audiences interested in the dialogue between cinema, fashion and contemporary thought.
The Designer is Dead, a film about Miguel Adrover, directed by Gonzalo Hergueta
Miguel Adrover has always faced controversy with natural ease, almost with a shrug: what’s my fault, he seems to say, if nobody in the fashion industry speaks plainly. His undeniable talent and vision earned him global media attention from industry arbiters such as Anna Wintour, who later withdrew her support.
Self-taught, he was a pioneer in dedicating collections to multiculturalism, ecology and political engagement. And one day he had enough. He disappeared from the media spotlight and returned to his roots: Mallorca.
The film follows his rise, fall and creative rebirth, featuring interviews with collaborators such as Pulitzer Prize winner Robin Givhan. Produced by Little Spain, it builds an intimate, political and deeply human portrait of a radical designer. Theatrical premiere in Catalonia.
