Our goal is to create an inclusive and diverse context within the festival landscape, which is full of cinema competitions and showcases where perspectives and sensibilities like ours have long been missing. By screening and discussing films that tackle discrimination, identity, and diversity we strive to inspire meaningful conversations and foster a greater understanding and empathy.

We want Walpurgis to be a space for dialogue and reflection where everyone leaves each screening not only entertained, but also more aware and committed to the figh for equality and inclusion. We aim to promote filmmaking culture as well as gender and sexual diversity education.

By listening and assessing all kinds of voices, we can overcome all obstacles, myths, clichés and stereotypes, increasing visibility and promoting the understanding of different realities. We want to create links and synergies with other horror film festivals across Catalonia and the rest of the world, to share information and projects, generate spaces of respect and collaboration, and eliminate harmful practices.
