FIRE!! is all about celebrating different emotions and stories through a mix of films and documentaries. It’s a cool event in Barcelona where you can catch a bunch of great movies that talk about freedom, creativity, and fighting for what’s right.
The festival is named after an old magazine called FIRE!!, which was all about art and culture back in the 1920s. It was started by Richard Bruce Nugent, a writer who was part of the Harlem Renaissance. He was inspired by his friend Hall Johnson, who wrote a spiritual song called Fi-yer! and whose house was a hangout spot for the LGBT community.
Here are some films you’ve got to check out this weekend at FIRE!:
