Did you grow up hearing a legend that’s been passed down in your family? Is there a myth from Pallars that’s part of your personal story? A tale told from generation to generation that everyone in your village knows?
Maybe the story of a man who met a witch at dusk while returning from the forest… or the old shepherd who swore he saw little beings working under the full moon… or perhaps the tale of a magical herb that cures all ailments… or drive you mad.
In Pallars, these stories are part of who we are. They were told by the fire, during long winter evenings, or while working the fields. They are part of an intangible heritage that deserves to be preserved before it fades away.

MYTH
HUNTERS.
At the Tabaca Film Fest, we want to bring these legends back to life through cinema. If you’re from Pallars and would like to share a mysterious tale passed down through generations, send us an email and our team will come to record your testimony—so that your voice can be preserved and projected on the big screen. We are myth hunters!
There’s no need to have artistic ambitions or to submit a short film to the official section. Here, there’s no deadline—we move at our own pace. What matters is your story. We’ll take care of turning it into cinema.

HOW
IT WORKS.
Of course, there will be a selection process. We’ll first contact you to better understand your story and how to bring it to life. But if you have a tale to tell—we want to hear it.
It’s very simple: send us an email explaining your legend, include your phone number or a way to contact you, and we’ll call you soon to discuss it further.
If it has mythological potential… then we’ll set up a small shoot to capture it.
Write to us! “Myth, Camera… Action!” starts with you.
Note: This section is outside the official short film or script competition, and has no deadline.

Cuando hablamos de mitología, no nos referimos solo a dioses antiguos o criaturas sobrenaturales. La mitología es una forma de explicar el mundo, de dar sentido a la existencia y de reflejar los conflictos humanos. Es el conjunto de mitos, leyendas, fábulas, supersticiones, premoniciones, cuentos, tradiciones e historias familiares que moldean la identidad de una cultura, de un territorio o de una comunidad.
Pero atención: la mitología no se queda anclada en el pasado. El héroe clásico convive con el superhéroe moderno, los oráculos antiguos con la inteligencia artificial, el viaje iniciático con las narrativas cinematográficas emergentes. Los grandes arquetipos universales siguen vigentes, adaptándose a los nuevos lenguajes del audiovisual, en un espacio de encuentro entre lo fantástico, el terror, el folk-horror, la ciencia ficción, el misterio, el cine histórico, el drama épico, la road-movie, el western, el cine de naturaleza, el etnográfico, el espiritual, la danza...
El Primer Premio Tabaca se llevará 1.000 € y el trofeo del festival.
El Segundo Premio Tabaca, 500 € y trofeo.
El Premio Gea (internacional), 600 € y trofeo.
Y el Premio del Público contará también con una dotación económica de 300 €.
Queremos descubrir cómo cobra vida la mitología a través de tu cámara.
