Moritz Feed Doc, Barcelona International Film and Fashion Festival, is the natural result of the evolution of a festival that, over the years, has expanded its scope and cultural impact. The new name reflects a clear idea: to nurture culture, critical thinking, and contemporary creativity, positioning audiovisual media as a tool for expression and dialogue with the present.

The verb feed —to nourish, grow, sustain— sums up the festival’s mission to promote the documentary genre —Doc— and other audiovisual formats as living languages, connected to the social, creative, and industrial realities of the world we inhabit. In this sense, the festival is understood as an open ecosystem, where ideas circulate, narratives are carefully crafted, and images generate thought and conversation.

Although the documentary remains the central axis of the programme, the festival is growing and embracing new genres, such as fiction, and new formats, such as series or short films, in constant dialogue with fashion, identity, the body, and contemporary society.

The festival, however, continues to maintain its essence, and the wordplay with Feed Dog is preserved in Feed Doc, referring to the sewing machine’s metal teeth that ensure uniform stitches when creating a garment.

The evolution of the name is not just a new identity but the confirmation of a process of maturity: a festival that has grown, expanded, and aims to be a place where culture is nourished. This step forward is made possible thanks to Moritz, which reaffirms its commitment to culture as a driver of social transformation and to initiatives that foster talent, contemporary creation, and critical thinking.
