🎬 MajorDocs 2026 – Mallorca’s International Creative Documentary Film Festival
Eight documentaries, five days of screenings and conversations, and a refreshing invitation to slow down.
From 9–14 November 2026, MajorDocs, Mallorca’s international creative documentary film festival, returns with a programme of thought-provoking cinema, filmmaker conversations, masterclasses and special screenings.
Known as the first slow film festival, MajorDocs takes a different approach to cinema. Instead of rushing between dozens of screenings, the festival encourages audiences to take their time, engage with the stories and connect with the people behind them.
The 2026 programme brings together eight feature documentaries, a special selection of Balearic short films, and discussions exploring everything from the creative process to the future of documentary cinema.
