LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
TUNE UP YOUR HEARING
We’re living in a time dominated by turmoil: wars that never cease, hate speeches that scream, algorithms that amplify the mundane… To deal with that constant noise, we invite you to tune up your hearing through a careful selection of the best non-fiction cinema.
Because listening, paying attention, and stopping are, in themselves, radical acts.
And because sound —invisible, profound, and so many times pushed into the background— offers us a different access, since it can move us, make us uncomfortable, and reveal ourselves.
This is why sound will be the focus of our professional sessions this year. We will explore how using it creatively can narrate what the image is not able to show, give form to the invisible, and come along with the most intimate of the characters.
But, beyond technique, there is something essential in this gesture: listening is also a form of resistance. Resistance to the totalitarianism that silences. To the oblivion that erases. To the noise that misleads.
In this seventh edition, Majordocs is a place to slow down again. To stop together. To look at reality without embellishment. And this year, especially, to listen to it.
Miguel Eek, Artistic Director of MajorDocs
THE FIRST SLOW FILM FESTIVAL
MajorDocs is the international creative documentary film festival in Mallorca; a space to discover other realities and other perspectives through carefully selected creative documentaries.
In a time defined by the sheer excess of content, MajorDocs proposes a slow experience: a journey through eight films, each with a deep author’s gaze, that encourage us to stop, step away from our daily lives and connect with not just the other, but also with our own sensibility.
Five days to reflect, ask and discuss each film with its author in an intimate and close setting, without lecterns or pedestals. Each screening will be a unique event without counterprogramming since it is our goal to take care of each film and each author.
During the festival, renowned filmmakers and new talents will share their experiences with the public. An event that will stimulate the critical eye through screenings and talks, as well as workshops and discussions on documentary cinema.
An unmissable date for anyone who enjoys looking without limits, discovering the unknown and stirring their heart.
MANIFESTO
MajorDocs goes out and looks for a creative documentary…
Hybrid, innovative, transgressive, adventurous.
Able to transcend the present and keep questioning ourselves in the future.
Useless – in which art prevails over functionality.
That digs deeply into the ins and outs of a complex world without staying on the surface.
That leaves a mark on the audience and is able to short-circuit the passive spectator.
In which the author’s gaze prevails over the facts.
Able to transcend, if the film demands for it, the limits of the classic narrative.

COMMUNITIES
Documentary film is a powerful tool for individual and social transformation. That is why Majordocs goes further and wants to be a platform for groups and social entities to find an inclusive and supported space to not only enjoy the experience of going to the cinema, but we want to do so with the complicity of the festival’s community area. That is why we dedicate a line of the festival to supporting all those entities that consider that the stories shown by the authors can be useful for each of the groups that visit us.
Majordocs offers free tickets through the Apropa Cultura platform and personalized work is carried out with each of the entities that request to attend the festival to work together on the aspects of each film that may be interesting for each group. In some cases, actions are carried out before or after the screening, with the intention of deepening and reflecting on the aspects proposed by the filmmakers.
In this way, Majordocs contributes to guaranteeing cultural rights, through inclusion and attention to social diversity, a fundamental aspect for society and for community development.
