MajorDocs 2026: Mallorca Documentary Film Festival at CineCiutat

From 9 to 14 November, Palma becomes the capital of documentary film with the 8th edition of MajorDocs, the Mallorca Documentary Film Festival. A "slow cinema" festival that puts the focus on authors, creation and an unhurried gaze. 🎬🔥

For the first time, the festival has a motto: "A world on fire". Faced with the feeling that the world is ending, MajorDocs reclaims celebration as a way to respond and resist.
